Added: 2026-06-01

[00:00:00]Okay, so right now I'm in a I'm in a elite room.

[00:00:06]Be nice if they let me stay here since it was their mistake that this happened.

[00:00:11]I'm not sure which room it's either the premier select which costs $2,200 a night or the premier which is 2,000 a night. [snorts] And you get free gifts.

[00:00:23]I need a bathrobe and toiletries and it's they're really nice brand. I'm hoping I'm hoping. Oh I Oh I can do is ask, right? We'll see what happens. And maybe the blessed mother will give me some luck.

[00:00:35]So, what happened was I woke up not woke up I was I woke up in the in the in the ER.

[00:00:44]And um there was a lot of people there. A lot of people there.

[00:00:50]The first thing I heard someone say is everyone left including your doctor. So, I never saw my doctor after the surgery.

[00:00:57]I never saw him. He didn't call.

[00:01:00]That's okay. I don't have he would call a loved one but I have no one to call so he I don't know. I don't know if I got the kneecap which was like like the thing or if I can I could add the knee my new knee picture to this or add it separately. I'll do that. So, I have no idea. I've been waiting almost a year for this and I don't have to wait another day to find out if I got the kneecap replacement. I don't know that cuz I didn't see my doctor.

[00:01:30]And there was just a lot of people in the room. Something happened. My socks were off my feet and I've had this surgery 2 months ago. So, I know what's normal and what's not. They gave me an extra shot of a nerve block.

[00:01:46]Yeah, I don't know why and they're like we don't know why but they gave me an extra injection of a nerve block so it was one too many.

[00:01:55]I can't I can move my toes sideways. I cannot lift them at all.

[00:02:03]I It's like the nerve is completely dead. Completely dead. You know, I had the They had nerve blockers all around it.

[00:02:13]And you normally can walk You can walk normally right after this. You're walking. You're using the bathroom. So, I know something went wrong. They did something wrong, and I know that.

[00:02:25]And they can say whatever they want.

[00:02:26]They did something wrong cuz I should be able to walk.

[00:02:29]And I'm not walking.

[00:02:31]And I can't move my foot, and it's terrifying. And they It was like all these doctors right in the ER room, right in the in the surgery room.

[00:02:40]They're touching my legs and like, "Can you move it? Can you move it?" I'm like, "No, no, no."

[00:02:45]And then I'm getting scared. I'm getting like I'm paralyzed. That's I'm paralyzed.

[00:02:50]And they're like, "Well, this is normal-ish. This is to be expected." No, it's not. No, it's not normal. It's not normal. Somebody effed up.

[00:02:59]So, every 2 hours the doctors come in and they assess. They keep assessing because worst-case scenario, we cannot have it.

[00:03:13]We cannot have it.

[00:03:15]You backtrack where I I won't be able to feel anymore. Like I have I can feel on the knee. I can feel I can't really feel that much, but I can feel under the knee. My whole top is numb. I cannot feel from the top of the kneecap all the way to the foot.

[00:03:34]It's completely dead.

[00:03:36]Can't feel it. Can't move it.

[00:03:39]Um I can't lift up the foot. I cannot It's This is This is my foot right now.

[00:03:44]I can only move this way. And then he was He was holding up the foot for me, and it was held It felt good cuz I was able to push and just gave the muscle some relax because and I'm getting cramps because it's in the awkward position because it's it's dead. My leg's like that. I can't move it. It's just like hanging to the side. So, and then as he's I'm pushing and he's he's feeling the muscles and I didn't quite hear what he said, but it wasn't anything good. That I can tell you. It wasn't anything good. So, they come in every 2 hours to assess because if anything starts backtracking, I might be back in the emergency room having emergency surgery.

[00:04:31]So, I don't know.

[00:04:33]Now, best case scenario is it's a 24-hour block. So, that means uh I don't And they gave it They said they gave me the extra one right when it was over. So, that was like 9:00 last night.

[00:04:52]So, we're talking I'm not even going to know until 9:00 tonight.

[00:04:58]And then then by that all the pain I haven't had therapy. Usually your therapy, I would have been walking the stairs by now. I would have been walking the halls. I am not doing any therapy. I can only move my my other surgical leg. And you have to keep moving your legs so you don't get blood clots.

[00:05:18]It's very upsetting. I'm very scared.

[00:05:20]I'm by myself. You know, I'm I'm by myself. I have no one. So, I have a few dear friends, but I'm out of state. I'm in another state.

[00:05:29]My And my Enrico doesn't have a car. So, there's nothing anyone can do. But if I got to stay in this room, they could sleep over.

[00:05:39]Uh you know, I am scared. I'm nervous. I'm terrified.

[00:05:46]I had no sleep.

[00:05:48]How can you when every 2 hours they're coming in to assess?

[00:05:53]And I have a um What do you call this? It's a compression. Well, now they explained it to me. I had no idea this was a compression uh wrap around my leg.

[00:06:04]And I didn't know. I didn't know. It's It's an Ace bandage.

[00:06:08]And it hurts. It hurts. It hurts. Cuz my thigh hurts and I'm undoing it and the nurse comes in. She got some man.

[00:06:16]Oh my god, it hurts. Nobody explained to me till till I got to the premiere room that oh, that's a compression stocking and you're not supposed to do that.

[00:06:27]I said well, you're the first one that told me that. I said if somebody would have told me that, I wouldn't have taken it off.

[00:06:35]Hey, I don't know.

[00:06:36]This is my second surgery, but they never I didn't have it. Well, the last one was normal. Everything went well well, I didn't have to worry about this.

[00:06:56]I have I'm I'm I'm on um complete um relying on everybody. This is And this I says to myself because last time when the um well, when the nerve blocker wore off last time, that was when the pain started and I couldn't stand up for the pain and I was using the bedpan and I says to myself this time you're going to get your ass out and walk and well, he look at this. I can't walk.
