I seem to have survived. Plus now I do an awesome "House" impression!

Thanks.

In this neighborhood ( Bed-Stuy) I'm lucky I didn't get nailed by a Hummer.

Hal, avoid Vicodin. They are House's downfall, though they could be cheap in Bed-Stuy...

Good Grief, Hal! Thank goodness you're still with us! Do get all well soon!

That must have been an awful scare. I do hope you are OK Hal?

Hope you're ok, Hal .... what exactly happened?
By all means avoid Vicodin. Demerol is much more effective.

None the worse for wear. They also gave me a weapon in case someone tries the same stunt again.

You do sorta look like "House"

It's great that you kept your sense of humour. Get well soon.

Listen to the Docs.
I fell through a hole in a floor (on the job fortunately) and suffered a Tibial Plateau Fracture (f...ed up lower knee joint). By the luck of the draw, my Orthopedic Surgeon was the best around. His bedside manner sucked, but he ****** me off so much that I recovered 2 months ahead of schedule. Unfortunately, that meant that I couldn't sue everyone involved and retire to a life of leisure.
Seriously-make getting better your main "job" and if you need support, we're here.
Stay off the "heavy duty" painkillers if you can.
Godspeed.

I never liked taking pain killers, at least not the ones that affect your senses. I like to have my wits about me. I don't even drink. They gave me a prescription for some heavy duty motrin, but I might not need it.

I'm not really into drugs, but I do really like the realistic IMAX 3D dreams I get with Tylenol with codeine. I've taken it maybe 4 or 5 times in my life, and it worked every time. Anyone else experience this side effect? Way too much downside for any regular use, though.
Get better the best way you can. Tom

I was taking Zoloft once, I had a dream I was a victim on the Island of Dr. Moreau. Very vivid. I had lots of other realistic dreams, but that one I remember clearly.
