Thanks for all the well wishes guys, going to be a long road for sure. Puts some of my plans on hold but that's the way it goes sometimes. Just gotta deal with it.

Best wishes. I've never had ketamine, but swore off nerve blocks. They screw me up longer, and make me mean! "The Warden" knows how to use her .38 - and I want to live a while longer!

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

My daughter broke her ankle 7 yrs ago, they did surgery on it at elmendorf hospital. To this day she still has hardware in her ankle. Her whole summer was shot in the a$$ she was in cast for the duration of the summer, then physical therapy. To this day her ankle will start bothering her, we are pretty sure it's the screws they put in her ankle. I hope you have a speedy recovery! My kid was bothered by the screws through the plate. Had that removed a year after.

Good luck and hope you heal quickly!!!
That must have been one heck of a fracture/dislocation to send you down to Seattle. I would have thought that Juneau would have had a pretty decent contingent of Ortho docs to deal with that there. Hope you had good insurance with your employer...
Do what you are told on your recovery and don't push the limits. You want that to heal correctly the first time! Revisions and repeat surgeries are a recipe for longer recoveries, more scarring, infection, and chronic pain issues. Hopefully you didn't have a lot of ligament damage with the dislocation/fracture. Physical therapy will be important as well... let them "push" you. Your "youth" is your friend!
Sorry you had to experience Ketamine. Great drug but it has it's issues. Pros and Cons have been highlighted by others. "Benzos" given prior to ketamine will usually help with the dysphoria/hallucinations. Some are just too lazy to give it. We used to use it a lot in the burn unit for dressing changes and debridements which were very painful for the patients. Ketamine provided a level of safety that narcotics could not as it supports spontaneous breathing vs respiratory depression/apnea. Back in the day, we didn't even lock up Ketamine or Pentothal in our OR (in contrast to narcotics and benzodiazepines)!!! Fast forward to today, the age of "experimenters" and "abusers" and everything is locked up behind one or two locked "barriers" including meds, syringes, needles, alcohol wipes, you name it!!! It has gotten so absurd that it makes it hard to respond to real emergencies in the OR! My 'cart" electronically locks automatically after 60 seconds... gets real old real quick, every day.
For all the pain, inconvenience, expense, and uncertainty, be glad it happened now and not 150 years ago. You'd likely be in the belly of a bear!
One day at a time.

Had that removed a year after. They said they could remove them, all depending how the ankle healed. Her ankle healed up fine but My kid deferred that optional removing them, she did want to back in for any type of surgery.

How's your day been Hank, for hurtin'? Not bad actually. Trying to keep moving as much as I can. A fellow 'fire member was kind enough to help me run some errands today, huge shout out to MallardAddict. Hell of a guy for sure. Pretty fun to cruise around in those motorized carts in stores. They don't go fast enough though.

Well, looks like they decided not to hold my position for me. Got my walking papers today. Gotta figure out what to do now.
