    Looks interesting but those buggers are expensive!

    Don't blame you a bit too on going back to the log tongs. I'd be lost now without them.

    Wow, accidents happened, but you took care of it, and you did a brave thing by posting it here for all of us to think about when we use tools. Thank you, and prayers for a good recovery.

    I cannot agree more. Accidents Happen! I managed to step on a large lego rated for ages 6 months or older, foot rolled off and snapped a bone in my foot in less than a split second. LOL there is probably a good reason some of you redirect or keep away some dangerous tools from the Mrs's. Though there are many capable women here.

    UPDATE!

    They released me last night and I am home in my own bed now, that always helps. The pain has subsided greatly. Will no doubt be off of it for awhile but have great neighbors helping out.

    I want to thank everyone for their prayers and thoughts. This really is a family and I thank God he brought me here.

    Thank you all, Vaughn

    Not sure if this works for you, I have had percoset twice after surgeries, it made me nauseous then knocked me out. It was 1 pill every 4-6 hours, I tried a 1/2 pill every 5 hours instead and it helped with both keeping it down in my stomach and the pain as well.

    I have found that the worst thing about perc, Vicodin and similar drugs is the constipation that follows after a few days of regular doses. Those drugs are nasty. I might take one or two and throw out the rest when they get prescribed.


    And Red Elm, glad you are on the mend. Get well fast.

    They prescribed 90. I doubt very much I'll take more than 10. My wife and I know too many that have had back surgery that are now prescription pain killer addicted. VERY SAD!
