What really frigthenings me...

Re: What really frigthenings me...

I did get hit by a car going 60 miles an hour, shattered my pelvis and broke my ribs. I had surgery to reconstruct my pelvis (9 screws, plate and a drill bit still in there), I woke up one night after having ripped out the drainage tube going into my hip, IV, morphine drip(Yes, I too remember the feeling of the fluids running on to my arm) and stomach tube which was inserted through my nostril and down my throat. I came out of it when I tried to rip the catheter out of my dick. Didn't hurt at first but I knew it was gonna so I put the Morphine drip back in my arm after considering putting it in my mouth. They took me off the morphine after that and just kept me doped with Demerol.

WOW what a story you kinda remind me of my stepbrither who is an ironworker (all men in my family are either ironworkers or cops except me) his stuff got busted up so many times His achilles is short about 3/4 of an inch so his heel never touches the ground but after the accident the doctor tried to stretch out his leg... He broke through the straps all "Hulk" style and started and grabbed the doctors arms... He started crushing the doctor was sedated. That was more adrenalin but man you welders you are all crazy!!!!!!

hmm, I was thinking of going back to school for welding as a secondary backup profession too, union, good money, usually decent work demand. Similar but different to machine trades, still related. Now I think I'll become a gourmet cook instead. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Man, what you deal with sounds terrible and you forgave them, that to me is admirable above all else.

I do not know if this is all recent? sounds like it is within the last 6 months. All that you have been going through sounds like some pretty tramatic events..and seeing you post here and write about it.. I would never know you were out of your head. Far be it for me to say what you should and shouldn't do for I can only imagine having somethig like this happen to me....but as much difficulty as it may be for you to deal with this, all the frustration and your reactions has to be pretty 'normal'. The staff at the hospital has tied you up for not only your safety, but also for theirs. ...but if it's any counsolation... I do not think you are crazy or losing control. But I think you need to find peace with that and not let it psyche you out.

Sounds like you dealt with the circumstances of the accident and understand it very well..now you just have to deal with the present and getting thru those tough times. You will be in my thoughts, and anytime I think my job is getting the better of me, I will know there are days in reality that others have sacrificed more.

Keep your spirits up man. [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

morbid, I can really relate. After my car accident I awoke and for some reason the drugs made me think I was in a lab being experimented on. I ripped all my tubes out (I will never forget the feeling of the warm IV running down my hand) and tried to get up and run away, but my legs and ankles were broken, so I just hit the floor. I was strapped to the bed after that deal. I broke a restraint once when a nurse was putting in a new catheter.

A few years later I went in for surgery on my leg and while the drugs were kicking in I went nuts. I don't remember much about it other than grabbing one of the med techs and waking up restrained. I was told a year ago when I had another operation that in my profile there is a note that morphine makes me combative.

I told this like I was on my 5 senses, but I was not. I was concious, but shouting because it hurts, the major parts of the story was told to me by my family. I know that the people at the hospital restraint us for our security and for theirs too, but you don't know how a nurse can treat you with so indignity when your family is not there because when they are, the nurses acts so lovely and tells how lovely I am too, but when your family leaves you there and you're alone, and tie there, asking for water and nobody seems to listened although they are passing in front of you, and when you tell someone those stories, which I have three (BECAUSE THERE WHERE JUST THREE NURSES THERE LIKE THAT, THE OTHERS ARE TRUE HUMAN BEINGS, GOT TO CLEAR THAT OK?), nobody beleives you because of your health state, even your family doubt. You don't know how much that hurts, just me and GOD, because I beleive in him.
That's what frightenings me being in a hospital again and be treated like you're out of your mind.

And Thanks for your support bro! [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img]
