So, I got out of surgery the other day and after spending 3 days in the hospital they sent me home. I have never experienced so much pain in all my life and I'm not quite sure why they didn't just euthanize me. I am starting to believe that I might just live as long as I stay on the pain meds. I'm no longer on the dilaudid, just oxycontion 2x a day, oxycodone every 4 hrs and Valium 3 times a day and it still hurts. I am so fucked up from the medication I am taking that I can't be held responsible for anything I say.



I now have 2 less vertabrae in my neck and a bunch of titanium because they fused 3 of them. I am getting used to the collar now thank god because I will probably be wearing it for the next couple of months.



But I am back and ready to be my same old cheerful self.



Right now I think I am going to go take a nap.

Good to have you back, Prag... I hope you recovery quickly.

Glad to hear that's over, Prag, and I hope you get well soon with as little pain as possible.



Also, even though I understand you just want to get rid of it, those collars can sometimes look quite cool.

wow! That is really traumatic. I would have been scared shitless. That is a pretty dramatic surgery. I hope and pray you have comfort soon and everything works out well for you.

Damn Prag, I didn't realize you were on those meds all these years!

I hope you're feeling better soon.

Wow. You now have something in common with Rush Limbaugh.



I hope you have a speedy recovery, Prag.
