When I broke my femur I was in traction for a couple of days before they put a pin from my hip to my knee. Don't know what they had me on for pain killers but I had a recurring hallucination that I was hanging from some sort of rigging and the nurses would stop in every once in a while and start me swinging like it was some sort of torture.

Remember waking up from the surgery out in a hallway with 6 big dudes in white holding me down and yelling at me to shut up and be still. I was in pain and demanding they get the doctor. The doctor had told me it wasn't going to hurt so I thought something was wrong. Evidently it was the talk of the hospital. Later when back in my room I overhead some nurses outside my room describing me as that demon possessed patient. When I was practicing walking up and down the hallways on crutches the nurses always stared at me very wide eyed.

The only other thngs I remember was being bored enough that i called the hospital library and they brought me some books I remember the act of reading them, but not which books or what they were about. Also remember the pretty nurse giving me a sponge bath a couple of times. Otherwise that three weeks was a blurr.

Don't think I would have had the violet recovery if they had explained before hand that it might hurt as I was waking up because they couldn't give me any pain killers until I was fully out from under the anesthesia. Have had several surgeries since including my foot thing and not had any violent episodes. The most recent with my foot, I woke up in my room and not recovery.
