Okay, so my doctor rules! He let me take my music and my studio noise cancelling headphones in with me. This made ALL the difference!! Put my tunes on, they gave me sedation, went to my warm happy place… it was all good! This was the easiest one yet! REALLY! They couldn’t believe that I was laughing and smiling before I even left the table. I talked with the nurse before hand and said would you tell me before he does anything painful so I can brace myself and she said I will lightly rub your shoulder. That worked. I would just do a calming breath and that was enough. They couldn’t believe it either, what a different some music made.

So I have gotten some relief, but am also still pretty drugged. My eye is a little droopy but they told me to expect that. They ended up doing a bilateral Lumbar which I was a little surprised about. I thought we were only doing one side, but cool. He is getting aggressive because CRPS II is getting aggressive with me. The Neck thing, IMO, was easier than the back. Maybe it’s the steroid that goes in my back that is so darn uncomfortable. I have had a few uncomfortable moments in my neck, but NOTHING in comparison to the pain I’ve been having everywhere.

My foot has warmed up again. I’m so happy about that. Man it was FROZEN when I went in today.

I am sooooo sleepy. I will update again later tonight. You guys are the best!! Thanks for holding my hand on this beachy Tuesday!
