Wow " Did you know cannabis can increase the metabolism of anesthetics so they wear off faster? "Did you know cannabis can increase the metabolism of anesthetics so they wear off faster? I didn’t. I woke up from sedation in the OR and one of my two nerve blocks failed. Another femoral nerve block was done and hopefully lasts until tomorrow. The metatarsal actually was healed but the naviculocuneiform was completely deteriorated and so was fused. Let the healing begin. View attachment 1178891
No not until I read this from you I didn't. after my first hip replacement surgery I woke up in recovery screaming in pain and freezing cold. I had the nurses scrambling for a Dr. to give me something after a few minutes of this a nurse came by and put me out with something......I was never told the reason other than I was in shock when I woke early
That didn't happen after my second replacement but I'd been on narcotics ( hydromorphone & fentynal patches ) I wasn't capable of growing at that time and pot just didn't cut it for the pain I was in.
I lost my 50's to pain and immobility. I'm now 69 stronger than I've ever been no pain other than being 69 aches and pains. So good luck to you with your operation and recovery, it can be a tough go at times just stick with a plan and try to build it back up.
