Hopefully you won't end up on one of these TSA Calendars.

SkyZ · 02-23-2011, 02:03 AM

wow i am really in awe at the damages and shocked at what happened. My condolences to the occupants of the truck and their family members.

Also i would like to applaud you on your very professional handling of the whole situation. Obviously both you and your wife are very well trained professionals and it take a lot to have such a clear mind to control the situation while in pain. I feel glad and safe to know such professionals are working for our medical centers. (and by our i mean the usa =p cuz im in canada, but still good to know people like you are around and helping save lives daily)

He managed to leave skid marks 2 lanes of north-bound traffic, and a turning land before he hit me. The fire destroyed part of the black-top road, too. I just hope I don't end up with jacked up dreams now.

Oh trust me you'll have jacked up dreams for awhile.
and once you start driving that stretch of road again youll just be looking around everywhere driving like a sissy and paranoid. its hard to overcome but sooner or later you come to peace with it.

We live about 5 miles outside the city limits and this was on the only road going into town from my house. So, I'll have a daily reminder. Just great.

So thats what it was. I had surgery around 1 month ago and I was on dilaudid as well for pain as the pill they were giving me was making me sick and not helping all that much (vicodin i think). Later I got put in 'dilaudid' but it sounded kind of like they were saying 'diluted' so I didn't know WTF I was on, heh.

Dilaudid's the trade name and hydromorphone is the generic name. 1mg of dilaudid is equivalent to about 10mg of morphine, or 125mg of demerol. Crazy stuff. The worst part is right when it makes it to the brain and makes the whole room spin a few times. But, I learned to "roll with it" and just close my eyes for a few seconds. It's ok stuff, but we carry even better stuff on the helicopter - fentanyl.

0.1mg fentanyl = all the above. Really good stuff. Too bad I never got any.

Mine was pulling out of my neighborhood, no other way out.
Its been over six months and every time I stop at the sign where the accident happened I still get that awful feeling and get all paranoid.

They shot me up with a good round of Dilaudid when they had to "reduce" my ankle fracture... The trippyness was awesome but let's just say that I still felt a hell of a lot of pain when they popped my ankle back into place. I remember after I went home from the ER (scheduled surgery a week later due to extreme swelling/trauma), I was eating chinese food and twirling my spoon in the won ton soup. I then remember saying something to the tone of "I can't do this, I need to lay down" LOL... Good stuff is right!

Well, I got lucky. I work part-time in the ER that they transported me to, so I got some pretty heft doses of morphine and dilaudid for the pain. When it came time to try to reduce the fracture, they gave a VERY liberal dose of versed.

if may have hurt when they pulled, but I can't remember. That's what versed does - causes amnesia. I highly recommend asking for it by name.
