The RIP thread
It has has somewhat overshadowed Grant’s shoulder op updates too.
Millsy Awful business to be fair.
Along_the_Wire how’s the recovery going?
Millsy Awful. First 48 hours were brutal - morphine didn’t touch the sides, OxyNorm did, but not for long. Day 5 now and outside of ibuprofen for the swelling, I’m taking 60mg of codeine around 3am as sleeping is not great for it - that’s some buzz when you’re nodding off and you can feel the pain disappearing. Physio is rock hard, but on the mend.
The worst bit is wearing vests as they’re easier to get on and off (easier in that t-shirts are impossible) - it’s an awful look, let me tell you.
Along_the_Wire sorry to hear it’s been so bad pain wise. The wife beater look is proper though, so every cloud.
Millsy it’s all expected pain-wise, but from Wednesday to today is night and day. I’m not allowed to play the PS5, which is a bit of a pain in the arse - the missus is out all day today, it’s the FA Cup which I don’t give a shit about, no PS5 and no drinking. All I’ve got are Blurays
Along_the_Wire All I’ve got are Blurays
And painkillers 
Not that I’m suggesting you take them all in one go, the boss coming home and finding you barely conscious, in a vest, covered in piss, isn’t a great look!
Along_the_Wire can you raise arm enough for a Nazi salute?
Mad_Cyril And painkillers
On their own are okay, but booze would give them the required kick!
Millsy Fucking LOL! No, I can’t - it’s a disgrace
Mad_Cyril But expected
Grant, two things, minerals and a long walk.
You’re welcome!
Along_the_Wire Did you get a local anaesthetic block in your shoulder? Takes the edge off the first 24 hours.
benson yeah, lasted about 18 hours and then it kicked right off!
Along_the_Wire Can you not source some weed over there? Seems like a happy middle ground between pain killers and passing the time in an enjoyable way. Good luck with the recovery, sounds a bit rough.
benson Have had these the last few shoulder ops I’ve had. Got a fucking fright the first time, as was sitting on the throne the night after the procedure - when I stood up, this arm suddenly came swinging from behind me. Took me a mo to realise it was mine, and I had absolutely fuck all control over it…
303abuser Don’t really get on with weed - I’m always a couple of puffs away from a whitey. Horrible business generally.
Along_the_Wire Physio is rock hard
Seems a little bit inappropriate of your physio.
Lol. Any chsnce of a reacharou…? Ah don’t bother mate
whatever Along_the_Wire Physio is rock hard
Seems a little bit inappropriate of your physio.
Not really…
Along_the_Wire I’m always a couple of puffs away
Lol….
Along_the_Wire Edibles are what you’re looking for. Completely different experience, especially if you can add cbd to it. Might be difficult to find for you though.
303abuser if anything, they’re worse - had them twice and felt dreadful both times!
I do miss making space cakes.
Halcyon years.
Along_the_Wire Haha maybe it’s not for you then. Could be dose dependent too, probably not worth finding out when you’re already suffering.
Sending your mate down the garage at 1am for Crisps, Mars Bars and more skins.
Anyone roll up tulips? Could never do the bloody things.
Turn it up!
