a bunch of healing q's

Andrea, that's a really good comment. Most people on stronger analgesics suffer the side effect of constipation, especially if codeine is involved. And that's without the added disadvantage of little mobility.

So yeah, keep pushing the fibre and the fluids.

That is what *I* was hinting at in my inimitable, delicate and lady-like wording.

[Wahine]

LOL - apparently I'm not terribly delicate or lady like, yup... ye pretty much have to hit me over the head with it.

Wish I knew genteel code words for "stool softener", but if you're not mobile & on the pain meds, sometimes even the fiber can use a little help.

Hope you're able to get outdoors even a little soon!

K me again

For the last few weeks the only place i've been able to sleep is on our couch. 'The main reason is as follows:
1-when i move from a resting flat position to a seated position on our bed, i get dizzy
2-If i try and lay(propped up a bit) a little bit on my right side on our bed & even on the couch, i get dizzy.

I don't mind being injured-the leg brace & sling don't bother me. The dizzyness bothers me grrr..

Any ideas? Could it be the way the collarbone moved & is pinching on something?

I have a fup appt with the orth dr on thurs. If he doesn't answer my questions to my satisfaction, do i go to my own dr & complain?

Any ideas would be wonderful.

Thanks

you bet! I'd be calling the doc today, not waiting for the next appt.

Dizziness worries me!

[Wahine]

Dizziness has a lot of different causes. Most of them innocuous but some of them serious. The safest answer is to contact a Doc. I'll send you more details.
