Shawna Posted December 4, 2008 Report Posted December 4, 2008 oh lordy, they make you walk right after you have a lung removed these days. When I had my huge surgery in '06, filleted like a fish, they came to my room the day after I woke from my coma (3 days) and made me get out of bed and hobble. It was the most pain I've ever been in, and I bitched and complained and said bad words, but they still made me do it.
The Seeker Posted December 4, 2008 Author Report Posted December 4, 2008 I know, when I had surgery (not quite as serious, but I still gave them more than one evil look) they made me get up and walk out two or three hours later too even though just moving a toe was excruciating, but with a hip I'd imagine it doesn't even matter if you use crutches... if you only use one leg, you still move both hips.
_Laurie_ Posted December 4, 2008 Report Posted December 4, 2008 S/s is a little late hearing this news...so s/s sends out their best wishes for a speedy recovery also...
Lea Posted December 4, 2008 Report Posted December 4, 2008 Poor Bluesy I sure hope he has a very fast recovery. My heart goes out to him. I have a very low pain threshold and just thinking about the pain he must be in makes me wince
edna Posted December 4, 2008 Report Posted December 4, 2008 Get well soon, s/s! And as they told you to walk, why don´t obey and walk till you get home? You´ll have better food there, I´m sure...
Lucky Posted December 4, 2008 Report Posted December 4, 2008 Someone is actually a Super Patient, as in Superman. This is actually hip #2 being done. He knows what to do, and was already doing rehab exercises in the recovery room. He twists those nurses around his little finger, being jolly & cheerful, & entertaining them. His OR nurse went and got her tye-dyed hair cover thing, and promised him they'd play Jimi's Crosstown Traffic during the operation.
MarcM Posted December 4, 2008 Report Posted December 4, 2008 Thats cool, Lucky! I know it would make me feel better that the medical staff were not just stuffed shirts. Sounds like BB will be up and chasing you around for telling us in no time
Lucky Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 Someone somewhere is just a bit worried about that.
MindCrime Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 Someone somewhere doesn't understand how this thread works.
Lucky Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 It's a thread wherein you talk about things people do ... generally assumed that it's done without mentioning any names. Sometimes it's just not too awfully hard to figure out who the someones/somewheres actually are. As in: Someone (you) somewhere (AZ) needs to get with the program.
Shawna Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 Someone (you) somewhere (AZ) needs to get with the program. *ahem* are you addressing moi?
MindCrime Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 I never said the Someone Somewhere was me... Usually when I go into this type of thread (on other message board sites for other categories) we use the acronym SWIM (Someone Who Isn't Me) when referring to another person.
Lucky Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 Well, no you didn't, come to think of it. As far as SWIM, someone isn't sure, she has all she can handle right here.
Levis Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 Someone somewhere doesn't understand how this thread works. It was originally started to give an indirect sense of perspective about how vast the world is, and how you're just a dot. You can say something like 'someone somewhere just spilled a cup of tea' and it would be true for a few scattered dots across the globe. Things got a bit warped, and now its primarily used to refer to oneself or people you know.

The Seeker Posted December 5, 2008 Author Report Posted December 5, 2008 Exactly... at first it was about pretty much everyone except for you, but now...well, now it's pretty much the opposite
Farin Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 somebody/somewhere has to give their child filthy water to drink, because their country is too bankrupt to provide a better water system
blind-fitter Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 Not so much fun when the "someone, somewhere" is transparently the writer him/herself, or somebody closely known to them. I quite like the ones where the "someone, somewhere" might plausibly be the writer, but then again, it's impossible to know for certain. Somebody, somewhere is "going naked" around the house today, and enjoying the sensation of freedom.
Shawna Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 someone somewhere goes commando on a daily basis.
blind-fitter Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 someone somewhere goes commando on a daily basis. Well, yes, I'm sure he/she does, but somebody, somewhere is experiencing this for the first time, and loving it.
MarcM Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 Somebody somewhere has a stiff....upper lip. Pip pip, cheerio!
bluesboy Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 Somebody somewhere doesn't see there's 2 sides to every coin.
