Most of the pharmacies are now just big chains like, Walmart, Walgreens, CVS. I miss the days of a local family owned pharmacy where you knew your pharmacist by their first name. There was more care. When I was at CVS and their computer system went down and the head pharmacist was closing the blinds and I expressed concern to get my meds as I was having surgery tomorrow, he replied "I don't care". We have two old fashioner pharmacies in the town we live in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his prime, he could routinely throw 100+ mph fastballs consistently, something very few other pitchers can do. He should have been unhitable. For the most part he was but he seem to wilt in high pressure situations. Too many blown save opportunities in big games for the Yanks & Cub too, I think. Seems like Texas used him more in middle relief roles where the pressure isn't as intense. After reading about his off the field issues there would be no way Inwouod ever root for him.

Rare Sea Dog Posted November 3, 2023 #107205 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Surgery went well . I now have matching metal. In a room now. Weird in recovery as I had a spinal block and Propofal and I could not move my legs or wiggle my toes. Finally wore off and I’m starting to feel them. All is good but starting to feel some pain. Bring on the pain meds. 39 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you be spending the night at the hospital? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this is a separate surgery center and is 10 times nicer than a hospital. Everyone is great. Only issue is that they had a hard time inserting a catheter so an urologist had to come in a scope me and insert because I have an enlarged prostrate. I will will have to go home with the catheter and have my urologist remove it in 10 days. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaniDanielle Posted November 3, 2023 #107213 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Yay Greg! When I had my hip replacement four years ago, they told me I was getting propofal. As I went out I was thinking but that killed Michael Jackson😳 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this go around I did not make a wise crack. That Propofal is great stuff. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Sea Dog Posted November 3, 2023 #107218 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Well I did my first walk around the surgical center floor. Pain is setting in about 5-6 but I’m doing ok. I like my PT she has a good soul. 18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonTexasNY Posted November 3, 2023 #107219 Share Posted November 3, 2023 @Sea DogGreg, you were in my thoughts today and knowing how totally considerate you are, I knew there would be an update. Glad the surgery is finally over. Pain killers (not the JVD kind) and therapy to come and soon this will be a distant memory. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare bobmacliberty Posted November 3, 2023 #107221 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Glad to hear that everything went well Greg! You should be in great shape for your Beyond cruise. Did you ask your Doc if you can mix Painkillers with your pain killers? 😁 Joking of course. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes as much as I would like a Soggy Dollar painkiller I think I will stick with the Oxycodone/ Tylenol/Tramadol/Toradol cocktail. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sea Dog Posted November 3, 2023 #107224 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Not quite Chops or Giovanni’s but the surgical center has all their food catered in and you can eat 24/7. Taking it easy. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
