Son-of-a-Weizen Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 Sorry to hear about this, Paps. If they need to swap out some of your naturally "thick blood" with some thinner, beer-diluted stuff........feel free to call. Quote
GA Russell Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 Scary stuff, paps! It sounds like you are already on the road to recovery, but I'll say a prayer for you tonight anyway. Best wishes. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 All the best, Papsrus. My dad has been suffering from something similar. It's not pleasant. Keep rested - Mingus should help! Quote
seeline Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 paps, I'm so sorry to hear about this - it sounds hellish. Pain like that is totally debilitating. Take care of yourself - and, as Bev says, music should help a lot. (I hope, at least...) Quote
papsrus Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Posted November 10, 2009 Thanks all for the good wishes. Listening to music is very soothing Seeline. Bev, the Mingus at Antibes was wonderful. I'll pass on the beer for now, Weizen. But I appreciate the offer. Same goes with the sex, JSngry. (not sure if that was an offer). GA, thanks for your prayers. All in all, I guess a bit better today. Will have a better sense of things tomorrow after getting my blood checked. Feeling relatively content. And on the bright side, I've lost over 10 pounds! Quote
BERIGAN Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 Hope you keep doing better! Sounds terrible! Yeah, I imagine sex would be painful right now, and JSngry is no lightweight! Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 JSngry is no lightweight! Depends on who's on top MG Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 wishing you a speedy recoup. do keep a list of the painkillers and issue a report on your top ten. Quote
king ubu Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 Gee, sorry to read this, paps! Hope you'll get better soon! Quote
PHILLYQ Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 Glad to hear that you're feeling better Paps A side note- are they also checking out your blood sugar? I ask because diabetics and those on their way to it can have all sorts of circulation/blood problems. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 Yes, feel better! I was thumbing through the "B's" in the jazz vinyl today and saw Bixieland. Thought of you, naturally! Quote
JSngry Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 Same goes with the sex, JSngry. (not sure if that was an offer). The sex was the suggestion, the offer was not there, but the suggestionstill stands, as does the other suggestion that you get your sugar blood estedt. Quote

JSngry Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 rool over baytoephfen and tell chicocky the news! Quote

connoisseur series500 Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 Try to stay supine as much as possible. Will help control the pain. Quote
papsrus Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Posted November 11, 2009 I'm definitely supine, leg elevated on a stack of pillows. Any other position for more than a few minutes is usually not fun, I'm afraid. Quote
AndrewHill Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 Man, just read this, I hope you're feeling better! Quote
sidewinder Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 Hope the pain eases soon. All the best ! Quote
brownie Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 Catching up on this... what a pain the situation looks like now. With proper care, things will be better. Get well very soon! Quote
blind-blake Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) Please know that we're all pulling for you. Here's hoping you feel better soon. Edited November 12, 2009 by blind-blake Quote
papsrus Posted November 14, 2009 Author Report Posted November 14, 2009 Update: I have the blood nice and thin now -- had it tested again today -- and the pain in my leg slowly continues to subside. I'm still somewhat dependent on pain killers but I'm now able to go for periods of about a half hour on my feet with the aid of a cane before having to rest and put my leg up. The goal is to continue to extend that time, and I think that process will accelerate over the coming days. ... I may go for a little walk tomorrow. Cooler weather has finally, finally arrived here in Florida. It was a week of hell, but I'm greatly improved compared to where I was a week ago. Still a little behind where I had hoped I would be, but nonetheless encouraged. I'm hoping that by midweek, I'll be able to return to work. I'll be buying those folks a dinner when I do, that's for sure. They've all carried my share of the workload without complain, and with nothing but encouragement and understanding. And all the kind words here from all of you good folks have been greatly appreciated. Thank you. It really helped more than you might think. Sometimes when you're in a situation where you don't really know what's going on, or when you'll see improvement, support is the most important thing. I'll be dancing a jig before you know it. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted November 14, 2009 Report Posted November 14, 2009 Many thanks for the update. We been wondering. Quote
