The last time I had surgery was over 30 years ago and ironically it was severe fracture to the same arm. I was 14 years old and was horseback riding in Idaho with cousins. The main injury was a compound fracture of my ulnar, but it was really an injury to all of the bones. I don’t remember everything, but I do remember the big cast and pain – months and months of pain, multiple surgeries and rehab.
My first night in the hospital has been completely pain free, thanks to the morphine pump attached to my IV. It’s a quite handy little thing! However, along with the lack of pain, comes a lack of the ability to be very coherent. Call it sleepy, groggy, out of it — whatever it is, all I want to do is nap.
