Tardy with post

Yesterday was really a good/terrible day all in one. I had the steroid injections yesterday. Well, the mystery about those is gone. All in all, I think it may work out to be a good experience. I know, or at least I think, I have two more in my future. But I have learned the ins and outs.

The worst parts were getting up early, being NPO, and WAITING, WAITING. We were to be there at 8. I wasn't in the procedure room until about 11. I didn't know what to expect, so I send my book, and the like out to G in the waiting room. I can't stand waiting without a book. HATE IT, HATE IT! So I slept for some part of the time. I was getting nauseous from not eating. It was a way to deal with that.

Finally they escorted me to the room. The anesthesiologist put a nasal cannula in my nose, and it irritated my nose terribly. Then, he administered the Versaid. That took away all worries. I wasn't aware of the injections at all, but I knew that from my previous colon thingies. I am always fascinated by watching the little scope snake its way through my lower intestine!

Then after a Diet Coke and a package of peanut butter crackers (I guess so I would be able to ambulate), I was sent back to PT where I got the heavenly electrical stimuli with the heat pack. Heaven on earth for me. It makes PT worth while. Love, love, love it!!

The down side was I had a splitting headache. I had it most of the weekend, but yesterday I had it in spades! I guess it must have been a virus. G asked me if was ravenous after he (finally) picked me up at the rear of the building where PT is. I asked what he was thinking about. The &%^*%*^% had already eaten. I flat told him that he was the one that makes me wait until 1 or 2 in the afternoon when we are traveling. I was a little pi**ed at him. The headache didn't help. SO we stopped at the local burger drive through for me.

I was freezing after that. I am usually the one who is burning up, not so much these days. I guess the burning fires of menopause and Femara are finally lessening. For a change, cold nellie, G was hot. Anyway, I went to bed and slept for over two hours. I thought I would be wide awake last night, but I was more than ready for bed at the usual time. I slept right through even his getting up for work.

I have some little twinges of headache still roaming around, but it is nothing like before. I hope it doesn't escalate later. I have PT in about an hour. Hopefully that doesn't make it worse.

I mentioned the other day I was wondering about this facility. Well, the place we went yesterday was a remodeled CVS pharmacy. They did a great job with it however. But still . . .

I think the next time, I will take a late appointment for this procedure. At least I can be comfortable here at home! The problem would be the traffic, but I will run this idea by G. We have a couple of weeks to think about it!

Hope all is well with you! Oh, and the back feels some better - I think. Haven't really pushed it though!

Peace be with you.
