Damn I hate hospitals

Fell on 21st ended up in ER. they removed my damp disposable diaper and put catheter in. After x-rays and CT scans found out I had compression fracture of C-10 scheduled surgery for next week and let me go home to lots of drugs and bed rest. I got home and removed the catheter and put on a diaper so for right now I'm in a drug induced haze and waiting on dr's

Sorry to read this . I hope surgery goes well and you recover quickly .

Take Care

Dlcripple: Best of wishes and hope everything goes well for you.

@dlcripple, I understand that few love hospitals. But hating them seems a bit extreme. No hospital means no ER to determine what damage you did. And no surgery to fix you up.

Hope you got a second opinion on the need for surgery.

Best of luck and healing.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

C10??? What vertebrae is that. Cervical vertebrae only go to seven. Thoracic to 12 and lumbar to 5. Which one was it?

Make that T-10 drugs making me goofy

currently fused T-12 to S-1 and C-5 to C-7

The literally clinical environment of hospitals puts me off as well because I have no control of what will happen to me. The only part of a hospital stay I enjoy is having a beautiful nurse bare my bottom for injections back there, but that is my peculiar medical fetish. I don't even enjoy visiting someone else in hospital unless I can at least hear about, if not actually witness, attractive young ladies getting buttock injections.

Since I work in a hospital I can't exactly say I mind them. Having spent weeks admitted as a patient however I can say most certainly that I couldn't stand it. For work I find hospitals comforting. Every one is run almost the same way. The comraderie in the emergency department is familiar and safe to me. In their own way everyone is more or less dedicated to making people better. Being admitted is another story. No matter how nice the staff is it's dehumanizing and under certain circumstances frightening. I have had a number of surgeries and found them to be terrifying. I expect everyone feels the same and I'm beating a dead horse here.

Best of luck for a good recovery.

Dlcripple: Best of luck and a speedy recovery. Be nice to the Physical Therapists, or Assistants, as they will probably play at major role in how soon your ambulatory.

@dlcripple - Best of wishes that all goes well

Sorry to hear about your accident! I hope the surgeries goes well!

Sorry I missed this post, till now. And, sorry to hear you had that happen Dlcripple. I hope you are do better now, and that all is going good.

Out of hospital now

just more steel rods and plastic back brace

Oh my! I can only wish you a good recovery!

I hope everything is going well.

I was wondering how much this back problem complicated your diapering?

Does the back brace get in the way of your diaper?

With back surgeries they just roll you from one side to the other during diaper changes

diaper just tucked under brace still better than the old body cast's from the 80's
