Hi Vrae! I tried to reply to this yesterday when I was at the doctors office...waiting and waiting and waiting...I typed and typed on my iPhone and then somehow lost it After that I couldn't type any more, oh my hands hurt like crazy. And because I was sitting there waiting for the dr for hours, my legs and everything else was screaming at me.

Anyway, the flushing and droopy eye did not last very long for me, maybe an hour or two. I am not sure if they will allow you to drive afterwards or not. Even when I wasn't sedated, they instructed me not to drive for 24 hours. I remember when I was getting those SGB's back in '91, my mom would drive me (more than an hour away) then work started giving me a hard time for missing so much time. So, I started driving myself and going straight to work afterwards and I was going twice a week at one point. Somehow the hospital figured out I was driving myself and would not give me the blocks until they confirmed that my ride (mom) was there with me each time. When I had them more recently, I took a sick day and my husband drove me as I was instructed.

I am happy that you have your blocks scheduled and are getting them every week, I think that is more effective. Also, glad you are getting both at the same time. You might not think so at first, but you will after that...get 'em over with in one day should be a little easier on you. I had that done a few times and was glad I didn't have to break them up.

Please keep us all posted. I will be thinking about you and sending you positive, beachy thoughts every Tuesday!! Got a chair with your name on it

I also like your mantra.
All the best,
Nanc
