Wound..? I must have missed this - what wound? Plastic surgery for what? I know you've talked about your legs burning and guess the sepsis must have got into you somehow so did you have a cut or something?
(And hopefully the dilaudid boluses are kicking in by now 
)
Yea you can see pics on my IG.. ever removed the back straps off a deer?
They kinda did that to each side of my leg/from foot up the calve. The outside is about 15 long by 2 wide and an inch deep, the inside is "only" about 12". & I'm supposed to have a wound-vac in each side. But they want to replace the woukdvac 3x. A week....
The first time they did it is the last time I can tolerate that kinda pain, because the vac-foam suck into the wound and attaches to the tissue, and removing it is like ripping out 1" deep 2" wide strips of flesh each time... Apparently, according to the plastic surgeon because I'm not mad enough to tolerate that type of pain I've extended my recovery time to three or four months of being an inpatient either at a rehab/skilled nursing facility or UC Irvine was most likely where they do more plastic surgery.
*, So instead of the wound vac, I get daily gauze dressing changes which are still fucking painful. I'm usually like a "tough guy/suck it up and push through" you know? I walked around /ran on a broken tibia for 2 weeks, I was up out of the hospital bed walking after my first my hip surgery and within a couple hours, I've played through broken fibulas and collar bones and fought through broken hands and arms and a sternum..
But this pain is on another fucking level. There's laws to protect people when it comes to pain management. And pain management lady today who I thought I had a good rapport with tells me that yeah we're going to keep working to keep decreasing your your pain meds because "you're trying to recreate a past experiences from your past experiences with with opioids... I.e. fancy way of saying she's telling me I'm trying to get high.... And like I said wants to cut my doses down even though I'm probably 2 months from going home, still. & The fact they don't understand opioid receptor affinity or saturation or whatever and they still have me on methadone in the hospital despite giving me pain meds that would keep me out of withdrawal, but they don't understand the methadone is soaking up so many other fucking hope you would receptors that the Dilaudid doesn't have room to work.
I told that bitch I haven't been high in 10 fucking years. What the fuck is my past experience have to do with the pain I'm in right now you've seen what my leg looks like open with no bandages... I shouldn't have remind you that it's not your job to tell me how much pain I should be in."
I already been contacted by three attorneys. Haven't had the energy in me to call any of them back yet, but they don't typically stick around with the smaller cases they want to go for the big fish the big insurance companies the big hospitals because they settle in exchange for a gag order so you don't talk about the poor care you received at the hospital... But I'd trade in a fucking heartbeat the '80-200,000 or whatever that'll likely get for the lawsuit to have this have never happened.
