Yesterday... all my troubles seem to far away...
My back is killing me. During my epidural injections yesterday I felt EVERYthing. Well, I don't know that I felt everything, but I definitely felt two of the injections. They give you versed, among other meds, so you're not really unconscious- it's just that you don't remember anything when the meds wear off. This time, something was different. I know the meds worked at some point because I don't remember anything once I felt that tingly feeling, and then POW, I felt that needle plowing in. I know I said something because I heard Dr. D tell the nurse to ".... give her one more." I felt another jab, then the next thing I knew, I was in the recovery room.
I always hurt really bad about an hour after I get home but yesterday was worse than normal, but that was probably just in my head because I felt it and remembered it.
The last month had been really good and I started feeling better than I had in a long while. Hopefully, this one will build on that and the one I get at the end of the month will get me through summer. I won't be getting anymore until at LEAST November, thank God!
I'm picking up my niece in the morning and keeping her until sometime Saturday. Maybe Sunday, depending on how I feel. I'm going to try and get all the laundry and housework done today so that I can just spend all that time with her. I'm going to take her and get her pictures taken in Arlington tomorrow. I've picked out a couple of outfits for her and I can't wait to spend the day with her.
She's getting so big! She'll be a year old in August. She's crawling all over the place and her knees are all scraped up. I joked with my sister that we ought to get her a little pair of knee pads! HA!! That would be soooo funny.
So anyway, that's how my weekend is shaping up. Hopefully my back will hold out and I'll have as much fun with her as possible. kdgr
