GoFundMe is a good idea but they don't operate the service out of the kindness of their heart—it's a business and they take a 5% cut of every donation. If Brad Snelling or someone will PM me their address I'll be happy to send a donation that Jasha will be able to keep 100% of.

Yes they do. But, it's worth it for the services that they offer. It's too risky trying to use Paypal as a gift. They offer a service that we need and have operating expenses to provide those services. It's worth it IMHO. 3% goes to WePay, which handles the money behind the scenes, and GoFundMe only gets 2%. On another note, managing a fund raiser can be a LOT of work. Using a service like this really helps keep it manageable.

So, just waking up from my third surgery. The muscle still needs some time, some of it was cleaned up in order to get the best repaired before a future skin graft. So in Laymen terms, that tells me things are still bad. I wil have another surgery Thursday or Friday, then stay another five days after.
At this point I miss my normal life, my kids and my dogs. It is the part that is testing me the most. Crazy, but ill get through it. You guys are amazing. Denise and I are blessed to have you all. Thank you, Jasha.

Jasha,

Can you walk around or go home or do you have to stay in bed and/or are confined to the hospital?

Just wondering.

Sam

Here ya go.

I was working 11hrs from home when the accident happened. I am pretty much confined to my bed due to all if the IVs and wires. They are getting me going on meds to help me go poo. It has been a week. I was getting sick off of morophine and Norco I am on some other stuff now. Hopefully I will be more mobile in the upcoming days. Not sure what my hands will be like when I get home. If I am able though I will do saws. Thanks guys

Narcotics will most certainly bind you up. Hope you dont mind poo'ing a brick after a week. Poor attempt at humor:laugh:. You'll be able to do saws, no question in my mind. It will take some time and rehab to do it though. Jasha, you could run me over with your truck and i wouldnt know who you were, but you definitely seem like a fighter that wont be down long. Saws, will be back in your future in no time. Good luck, and prayers sent your way.

Paul

As Jasha stated a few posts ago, he'll be at the hospital for at least another week.

For those who want to send funny cards, get well cards, naked chainsaw pictures, etc. . . Here's how you can do it.

If we stick to the forum's theme, the effect of painkillers on the GI tract is best known as a "logjam". I ran into that unfortunate situation while waiting for a kidney stone to pass. I knew it was a problem when I downed a cup of coffee and could feel it pooling at neck level! I actually went off pain killers and onto massive doses of ibuprofen in that case, and it was a fair tradeoff to get things moving again.

All I got to say is, if you're still in the hospital when the logjam passes, you'll be glad they have all those bars on the bathroom walls so you can hang the hell on! Just go easy on that injured arm!

Don't let Gypo see this post, I ain't sure anyone healthy could stomach that picture of him much less someone in the hospital.....

Morphine pretty well sucked for me. Stomache aches after the first week and slow bowels. It sure does take the edge off though. After a week you just want to go home. They will let you go when it's time.

My 2 week stay at the hospital was a little long but I took it day by day , your lucky , you've got internet , I didn't and the food had 0 salt , cardboard had more flavour but it did keep me regular LOL
I can say that the staff from cleaners to cart pushers to nurses and doctors were the nicest people I've met considering what they see day in day out .
Pain sucks so make sure they keep you happy .
