Well I had my ankle surgery 2 days ago and finally starting to feel better. I was a bit phobic about being put under with general anestheia but that was a piece of cake.
Ive been walking around for 2 years on a severly damaged ankle that produces extreme pain everyday so Im glad I finally went through with the procedure and hopefully will have a sturdy pain free ankle as expected.
I had 2 smaller bones removed that were nothing but chips floating in my ankle from the damge. I had one of the main tendons that attches from your shin area down to the outside ankle bone shortened an inch from being stretched when I injured it. Also had a near golf ball size piece of cartilage removed from the inside of my ankle that was basically scared up cartilage. The surgeon also drilled holes into several of my ankle bones to generate new cartilage growth as well and joints scrapped for arthritis.
The first couple of days were hell with pain that was unbelievable due to the massive swelling in the plaster splint like cast that I ended up nearly completely removing before having to go back in the Drs office and having a more comfortable immobilzation boot put on.
the pain mangement has been a real SOB. They first prescrbed me 5/500 vicoden which is like asprin, then they prescrided 7.5/350 norcos which help a tad better but wasnt cutting it then yesterday prescribed me 20 mg Oxycotins that I have only taken one of and dont intend on taking anymore.
That stuff made me super naucious and pretty zomified and out of it. What evil crappy medicines they like to prescribe you.
On a brighter note my buddy stopped over with a small care package containing a few books and 2 joints of some decent HG. I havnt smoked heavily for a few months now and have to say what a great medicine MJ has been through the night last night and today. I have been taking a couple puffs every 3-4 hours and I have been able to manage my extreme pain far better than with the pills. I always new MJ had great medicenal propertys for many ailments but never really used it in conjunction with such pain as I have experienced the last few days.
So to the gov. FDA or whoever it may concern thx for making such a beautiful medicine such as marijuana which really has benefited me greatly in my time of need illegal a crime to use for whatever purposes.
In the past I used MJ mainly for recreation and didnt put alot of thought into the Medical side of it but now I am even more of a bleiever. I basically have done a side by side test between Gov. controlled medicines and MJ and there is no comparrison. Its a dirty shame that marijuana is looked at with such dirt and not even really being given any sort of true and fair judgements.
Peace all!
