Good idea. Guess that would have been useful to know now. I am guessing that there is no reason to believe I should be allergic to Percocet (since it doesn't contain an NSAID as far as I know). Just paranoid. I take ibuprofen, naproxen, tylenol as needed every once in a while with no problems (of course, I guess large doses can be different than just taking a few).

For anyone who is interested, I posted the pics from my hip scope. http://i.imgur.com/Iig21h.jpg http://i.imgur.com/c9Ol7h.jpg http://i.imgur.com/5GFZKh.jpg

Heh.

Wayne, you look awesome! I wonder how many kids will pull on your beard to see if it is real. Update on my recovery: I am still nervous about lots of things, mostly getting an allergic reaction to one of the medications... but I always worry about this when I start taking something new. In fact, the doctor wanted me to take Indocin for a month (which is supposed to inhibit bone growth) but the medication bottle says not to take if you are allergic to aspirin or other NSAIDs. Since I am allergic to Salsalate, I am probably allergic to aspirin, I talked to the PA and she said to just not take it (or anything in its place). The good news is that I went to see the PA yesterday and she said I was doing as well or better than anyone she had seen. I have had very little pain. In fact, I have not felt much, if any pain in my hip. I have had very minor soreness in my neck, back and knees, from having to sleep on my back but nothing big. I think I am going to try to stop taking the percocet. I have only taken 7 total and those were just because I thought I should. I took one last night at 8:45pm and didn't take another one until 9am this morning, with no real pain in between. I suppose when I start physical therapy tomorrow, I may want to take one. (Although, since I am afraid of getting an allergic reaction to the percocet - I have had some minor flushing on face and neck, I would prefer to take as little as possible.) I am getting more strength back in my legs too. Actually, I am feeling pretty good. It is frustrating that I can't just get up and walk around like normal - I suppose that might hurt if I tried.

Happy Birthday Alex.

Nice! Will add to list.

^Nice!

What about Amarra 4 and Perfectestwave?

Approved. Good stuff.

That is awesome!

Funny you mention this. When I was young (maybe around 4 or 5), I was very frustrated and upset because I couldn't pee standing up... and supposedly, according to my mom, she found me more than once trying. Ok, enough of the TMI for now.

Unfortunately he cannot go to the bathroom for me... and well women have small bladders.

Hmmm, not very close to that so I thought Greg was maybe refering to something else.

Hi guys. Everythng went well. The problem was slightly worse than they thought based on the MRI and xrays. It turned out that some of the cartilage was also comng off the bone. Also there was a little more excess bone than they thought there would be. Hopefull this doesn't affect the recovery time too much. So far not too much pain. I woke up out of surgery around 11:30am and just took my first pain medication, generic percoset, (I got general and regional anasthetia, a nerve block, and the regional anasthesia is just starting to wear off). The PA told me to not be conservative with the pain meds and to take two the first time and to continue to take it even if I don't have pan at the beginning. I hope I don't have to take them too long. I do have some muscle twitches but I am going to hold off on the valium til go to bed. Also, crutches are a pain. I almost lost my balance a cold of times trying to walk non weightbearing on them. My dr said I could do 20lbs weight bearing flat foot and it is a lot better. I am still a little afraid to walk aroung on crutches without my husband nearby though.

Waiting for surgery. Very nervous and thirsty.

I am an idiot. I thought my phone had no connection. Forgot about the double posts... I'm not going to change them since I'm using tapatalk.

I'll bite, what is the HC trifecta?

Almost forgot: Stax SR-007 MKI from Deepak!

Same here. Although, I cannot see myself buying one unless it can grade homework.

LOL

Raspberry syrup and Pellegrino (surgery is tomorrow morning so no more fun for me).

Yay for wine and Senns.

Yay John!!!

Congrats Jacob! 7K will buy a lot of knives.
