I’M HOME!!!! It’s so good to be back! It’s only been a week since I was last home, but it feels like I’ve been gone forever! Coming home from the hospital, I’m now in more pain than when I first arrived there. Very amused. Haha! My right arm is purple and green all over from getting so many IVs and blood draws. My latest IV infiltrated, so now I kinda have a lumpy and hard patch on my forearm. Very weird to the touch.. I’m still dealing with that new headache on top of the old one, but I received one last IV drip of magnesium before I left, and I hope it lasts! My left leg is super weak, and it’s so different being back on crutches, especially in the house.
This is Brian and me. Will always treasure this picture! |
Since my symptoms are still unresolved, here’s the plan: I see my pain dr. this coming Monday (10/1). We’ll discuss the possible removal of my spinal cord stimulator to get that MRI. Can’t wait to know what his thoughts are on that.. I start up physical therapy again (I’ve been off of it for more than a month!) on the 3rd. And, on the 5th, I have a follow-up with my neurologist. So next week will be quite busy!
And in the meantime, I’m gonna get some sleep. In my own bed. Without any phlebotomists waking me up at 6:30 in the morning. Without nurses coming in my room at 7:30. Without seeing doctors soon after that………
Good night!
