the knee!

[shaun_a_m]

i'm a terrible livejournaler. i busted up my kneecap nicely on the 3rd. was turning too wide, too fast. clipped a curb and my knee connected with a concrete driveway. it was relatively painless to be perfectly honest. i hardly touched the T3s they gave me. apparently the fracture ran vertically and so the muscles surrounding my knee kept it

Dude.

You want me to make you stew or something? I would not be walking around with that if I were you, I'd be sitting in my bed sulking and staring at what would eventually be a wicked scar. Are those ~staples~?!

i hope that you are healing well!
and just a question out of curiosity. did the only give you T3's post-surgery? aren't they just tylenol with some codeine? we don't have those here, but shit, when i have my gall-bladder issue i got Dilaudid (Hydromorphone) in the clinic (stronger yet less addictive than morphine) and a nice handful of vicodin. and while i recently had a terrible cough, i was prescribed cough syrup starring codeine, but it didn't help so much with pain.

sorry, i've been pretty interested in different types of pain killers since i have been having more experience with them lately

well after the ER, they gave me a prescription for 1mg hydromorphone tabs and told me to stock up on ibuprofen. i went to see a family doctor a few days later and he prescribed T3s (you're right, they're like 300mg tylenol, 30mg codeine). post-surgery they loaded me up with oxycodone. i've heard from a lot of people that codeine/tylenol does nothing for them but T3s work well for me. kills the pain without getting me stoned :P
