The Old Hack reacted to ProfessorTomoe in Changing Medications (Level of Trust Required)
Update 8/11/22 Saturday:
Things have taken a backward step, as it were. I did a good deal of walking Thursday as a catch up for Wednesday's lack of a workout due to monstrous nausea overnight the previous night. When the time came to take a shower, we noticed two things: large blood blisters on the sides of both big toes, and increased edema on the left leg. My nurse called the Wound Care nurse. By the time she got there, the blood blister on the left toe had broken open. She put an alginate bandage on it and a Curlex wrap around it, then wrapped the left foot and leg in an ACE bandage. She then wrapped the right leg and foot in a double layer wrap of ACE bandages to protect the blister and compress the swollen leg.
The ACE bandages are going to have to stay on all weekend, until the Wound Care nurse gets back on Monday. I'm supposed to reduce the amount of walking I do and keep the leg elevated, which means these updates are going to come few and far between. I'm sincerely hoping that my next stop isn't a stop isn't a stop upstairs in the LTAC to get hooked back up to another Bumex 24/7 IV diuretic drip again. We'll see what happens.

Keep at it, as best you can.

I was accepted to the Rehab hospital. I've been doing lots of physical and occupational therapy in the days since my admission last Friday. Was doing good until today. Had a very rough night last night - food poisoning or stomach bug, call it what you will, I was nauseated as hell for several hours and wound up tossing my dinner. Only caught a few hours sleep, and woke up in no shape to do anything, much less work out. Add to it the fact that I'd tweaked my left knee the day before, and I was one sore puppy.
Therapy went predictably well. In other words, badly. I pushed myself as far as I could, but I just couldn't complete a full course of a normal workout. The therapists had mercy upon me and walked me to my room. I've slept most of the rest of the day until being woke up by the nurse to take meds, at which point I got up and typed this. Now you're up to date.

French movies. These get 100% outsourced to France. Of course they might also justifiably be argued not to be a vital industry.

Glad you're safe.
Not much news available.
I asked a German friend today if he was in the US for the comedy relief. He said, "It's not funny any more", which we had to agree with.

I'm not sure if the Dilaudid is working worse than the oxycodone, or if the pain is just getting worse. I'm starting to guess the latter, since the pain was getting worse while I was on the oxycodone. I'm sorely tempted to at least try alternating both on a one-every-two-hours stint for the remainder of the day. Mrs. Prof would have kittens if she found out, since that could potentially be dangerous. However, it wouldn't be any different from what they were giving me in the hospital, AFAIK.
I don't fscking know. This just hurts so bad. I can't wait for my appointment on Monday.

I'm relieved. Hope all will be well.

I kinda figured.
Ah, being trans has nothing to do with medical technology. It helps, but the real issue is your identity and acceptance (or lack thereof.)

I feel strangely offended by this. What, we trans people are not good enough to be oppressed?
