They fixed my bones up just fine (or so they say). Got bone from dead people 
and synthetic material injected in to the gap that my bone needs to grow back into.
Only problem was there was so much swelling they had to leave the wound open and just jam a big sponge in there. Then they've got a pump draining the disgusting fluid 
out, as seen in the image. The little brown spot in there is apparently blood or something. One of those floats along about every 5 seconds.
The pump itself sounds and vibrates a little like a snoring dog so it's kind of comfy. In a few more days they should be able to close it up. Until then my job is just to sit here with more hoses plugged into me than a borg and watch awful TV. Hopefully I can find a show that's as good to watch on oxys as Cleopatra 2525 was.
Bonus image: In here they even cut up your tendies for you! Mom never did that!

Congrats on surviving.
Last time I was in hospital, the food was so horrendous, I pestered my bf until he smuggled me in a pork banh mi.

I don't even know if that would be possible here. The security here are the worst power tripping cute twinks I've seen in my life. These are guys who can't even get hired as cops in Portland.

Really? I don't think I've ever seen a security guard at my hospital.

We've got lots of them because so many of the patients are fent ODs or just disgruntled semi-homeless people. But when there's nobody the security has a legit reason to push around they hassle ordinary citizens.
ER receptionists and nurses are the same way to a lesser extent. They see themselves as gatekeepers who get to decide who deserves treatment. If you manage to get past them and get admitted into the actual hospital everyone is suddenly really helpful and actually cares.
