Hey,
I'm exhausted, I was supposed to do this one month ago, but put it off because of business, but I've check into the hospital. I wrote a post, but closed the browser cause I'm just out of it, but short of it all, the doctors told me if they go in and it is worst than it seems they are going to do a bone graft from my knee or something. I'm like, um you didn't tell me this, but whatever, do what you gotta do. They also asked me if I wanted the morphine, it's like 150 extra to have it, and I said, 'are you kidding? That is what I've been waiting for this entire time, give it to me now!' but then I punched the doctor and said, just kidding, I'll pass on it unless I'm in major pain cause I have to work.
So, I did play 3 games of dota2 here in my single room with wifi, love Korea haha, 2.5mb down I checked it before I started to play. But fml, my iv drip connection in my left wrist started to leak blood, wtf, too much hotkey pressing and now typing, I'll have to call the nurses.
I'm not scared or anything, but actually anticipating it, I may have, after a year of rehab, a chance to play one year of high level club rugby again, I don't care if it is the last division, I wanna play, so I'm looking forward to that.
I leave you with a first, a picture for my blog! haha, actually I've been working on a TL project of late, that I hope gets launched soon, hopefully by thrusday when I'm off the morphine.
Cheers and be good guys.

Good luck! Read you talk about your hopes for getting back into rugby before, I hope you make it.

Good luck on your surgery and single room with wifi.. oh we're very jelly
|

Damn, if they're getting a bone graft that's some pretty extensive reconstructive surgery. Hopefully it grows well and you'll be able to function at 100 percent soon enough. Good luck! 
|
Good luck hope it all goes well.

Get the morphine. I had surgery on my spinal cord about a year ago, and morphine was my savior for like 2 months afterwards.

I've always wondered do you actually talk when you wake up and it felt like you said something?
|
Nice you play dota2 too, Hope the surgery will be successful and quick recovery!
|
Hopefully you don't wake up with a boner like I did, in front of your whole family.
|
Man, I finally get to see the man behind the MightAtom.
Your blogs have been a huge inspiration to me, especially when I was at my lowest.
Wish you the best of luck and get well soon ^O^!

Hey guys, thanks,
I go into surgery now in a couple of ours 1pm Korea time,
got the IV drip all fixed up, the nurses helped me with my operation clothes, the ones that tie up in the back and they were looking at me if I needed help with the pants, and kept on asking me if I had made sure I wasn't wearing any underwear, and I said, no worries I never wear any underwear. Instead of a smile or laugh I kinda got an awkward moment there with the nurses...hahaha, oh well, in any case I told them I didn't need help with the pants lol.
Thanks for all the well wishing, after some more research I hope the do do the bone graft, even though I'll have a big ass scar on my foot, it would be stronger for life other than the other procedure which is just drilling holes into my bone to get the stem cells to try to do something. but as I've done more research into this, it is clear that the doctors are being hopeful cause I got a 25mm hole, so its really not a good situation.
http://www.podiatrytoday.com/article/6304
this is basically what I have, but the hole is right in the middle of my top ankle bone,
and as I've been researching about the after pain, it seems like morphine is a must, unless they were all pussies, but I'll try to work through the pain first and if not, I'll go to dream land for a couple of days lol.
Cheers everyone and thanks ^^

Best of luck, MightyAtom. We await your speedy recovery!!
Might have to go into another surgery myself soon but while it's very different for yours, I've experienced more or less the same "hospital experience" (that US hospital had some sweet wifi too!). The morphine is definitely a must looking at your situation, you better take it or you'll be in huge pain. With luck they'll give you some antinausea medication because that stuff can make you sick to the stomach 
Hope to see you here again soon.

Hey guys
really quick
im completely fucked exhausted etc
operations was 5 hours instead of 1 hour
but am going to be released in an hour
dizzy can't think and just totally exhausted.
Just got the scar cleaned its about 15 cm long and have another on 3 cm on the other side.
Will get into more details later cause im breaking into a cold sweat here but the result was a success but im bound to a wheelchair for the next week at least.
Thanks for all the well wishing. just wanted to post that i made it through fine.
But im never gonna have surgery again. brutal and they wouldnt give me the morphine because my wife told them not to . so she said that knowing me id abuse it. oh well. ok gotta stop cause im gonna throw up if i don't lol.
Cheers

You're a warrior ~ Best of luck in recovery.

Congratulations on making it through the surgery!!
Wow I can't even imagine absolutely horrifying, but you made it through yo.
Thanks for the update, now go rest you beast.
