DennisLinkletter Posted April 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 I'm home, all went well. The Dr when explaining the procedure asked me if I knew what pork ribs looked like.. and how much muscle there was between and around the ribs. He said that the surgery would create a lot of trauma because of all the muscle that needed to be cut to release the 4.5" of rib which where the break was is mostly cartilage. Because of the volume of tissue being cut it drained quite a bit after the surgery. I'm good not still only hurts when I laugh, cough and sneeze.. If I press very firmly it hurts MUCH less. VERY happy to have this behind me and to be back in my own bed.. The meds they gave me made me so sick I stopped taking them the second day. Yes the drip is awesome!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
