Okay, small change of plans! I've been sick this whole week so Dr. B doesn't want to do the prolo with me not feeling my best. I'm on an antibiotic so hopefully it will kick this out of my system soon. The new plan is for the 18th which is next Wednesday and which also means I get out of History class : ) Wednesday I will go to English class and then head up to Asheville for the treatment and have a extra day to recover, so it will work out fine.
I got permission to take an extra hydromorphone before I go to help with pain. I'm not sure what the plan will be once I get there, maybe just the local anestetic and leave it at that, I don't think it would be worth it to do the same thing as last time.
Still no change though. Well, not a constant one. I've noticed a few more energy bursts here and there, but it's really random. Last week I had to do go to the library at the college I'm taking classes at and there are about four flights of stairs on the way there, I usually dread that walk but I did it with no problem! I was impressed with myself on that one. Now if that would just keep up... I'd be set.
On a more random note, I HATE the mood swings that seem to go along with all this. One minute I'm fine... and then BAM! I'm ready to start swinging at the next person who talks to me. I hope this goes away at some point, but maybe that's just part of it, who knows? It does make the good days seem better though. If I've been down and suddenly I feel okay it's such a huge change I'm ready to go do something really fun that I wouldn't normaly risk doing. But it's hard to think like that when it hits.
One thing I found is this podcast Pastor Bob did about chronic pain. It's awsome, I think even people who aren't Christians could still get something from it so give it a chance. It's in three parts, each around 40 minutes (I think), so they had a lot to say. Just scroll down to part 1 and click the title.
Hope it helps.
