Went under the knife this morning. Things moved quick, but the end result was two ligaments reattached, 9 screws and 1 plate. It's going to be some time before I get well. I didn't realize how bad it was. Still high as fuck, but when the local anesthesia wears off in a few hours I'll be whining like a feminist bitch. They all warned me. This is a different level of pain I've never felt. The nurse told me to stop crying over taking pain pills and be prepared to double up on the oxycodone. :s
The regiment I was on to reduce swelling was key, as they didn't expect to cut me open today, but rather screw in an external fixator. That still may be in the works. The surgeon was surprised. ACV, tart cherry, coconut water, no smoking or drinking, and keeping it elevated did the trick. Oh, I dusted some baking soda on it too. J/K. :tard:
Props to Emech for the tart cherry supplements.
