Guest guest Posted May 20, 2002 Report Share Posted May 20, 2002 I am not going to say it did not hurt because it hurt really bad. I do not remember a lot of it though, I went into shock as the grease was hitting me. I guess it was shock. What happened is I could hear a sizzling noise as it hit me and it kind of echoed. I remember hearing screaming and wondering who it was(my daughter said it was me). My daughter told me a lot of stuff like me taking a cold shower, putting on loose clothing and driving to White Hosp. She said they cut my clothes off and packed me in ice. I do remember the Nurse and Dr talking as they made phone calls. One of them said if Tampas Burn Unit had no room that they would have to Bayflite me to, I think Houston, could have been Dallas, though. Then I do remember the EMT calling Tampa when ambulance was in route. He asked could he give me something for pain, they said yes. My daughter was in the front seat looking back at me. Then I saw my brother in law in the elevator and when they were debrieing me the Dr bent down and looked me in the eyes and said next time they do it I would be put out. I just remember the sound of water running and a cold metal table. Is it Curley who was asking about her period? I did not have one for about a year the Dr told me once my body was out of shock it would return. LOL, and boy did it! Had one every 2 weeks for 6 months, to make up for lost time I suppose. The EMT was a wonderful person he stayed with me till around 8 am in the morning...it all happened around 11 pm. Is wonderful how Shock can protect you mind. Anne your Arthritis is bad and you should not feel the way you do in comparing it, that pain is real for you. I also don't have the courage of a lion, :-), I be a wimp.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Shoot... I'd be happy with ONE NIGHT a week! Me too! It seems like I am up every hr on the hr to twist or turn or reposition myself. I finally can sleep on my sides- but am not used to a pillow between my legs...plus on my operated side it is still quite uncomfortable after about 15 minutes.When I try my back, my legs need to be on the pillow and then they fall asleep ( at least part of me sleeps). I am looking forward to being able to sleep on my stomach again...any clues when that is allowed. I just saw my dr on tuesday, and forgot to ask that question. I am now allowed to put 100% weight on my operated hip! "Get rid of the walker by the end of the week." he said ( I parked it as soon as I got home)...I have a cane, but often forget to use it. (need it still for steps)- and now have to work on eliminating my limp. My operated leg needs a lot of PT! It got so weak prior to surgery. Today is my 6 week aniversary. During the day, I feel great- at night I feel every ache and pain. My incision was on the outside of the hip, not my butt- so the staples were not a real problem while sitting. The home health nurse took them out after 2 weeks 2 days. She said that if they stay too long, they will start to grow over. I had a few that were over healed, but some that could have stayed another day or so. They put steri strips on, and by the time those came off, all was well.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 When I try my back, my legs need to be on the pillow and then they fall asleep ( at least part of me sleeps). >>> 2 funny! I don't even get that much of me asleep. I just saw my dr on tuesday, and forgot to ask that question. I am now allowed to put 100% weight on my operated hip! ....... I have a cane, but often forget to use it. >>>Well sounds like things checked out at the office and it's going well for ya. As to sleeping on your stomache.... if your full weight baring I doubt that there's any restrictions on it. My doctor has always told me... if you feel comfortable then by all means~ First 30 days is the biggest worry for dislocation after your past that point your chances are greater for no problems.... IF you've stuck to doing your exercises regularly and been faithful to it. As to what the hip can or can't take.... strength wise... it's better then your natural hip.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 - I never had problems with sleep or strange dreams but, my mother did. She had some insomnia issues, in the beginning with LDN. That faded after a few months. -- In low dose naltrexone , " Art Hansen " <rtee54@...> wrote: > > Since starting LDN I've always wondered what kind of side-effects those > using 50mgs of Naltrexone for alcohol/opium addiction experience. > > Art > -- > > > > > > so strange how some people have problems sleeping, others sleep like > they've never slept before.
