The prep was dreadful, no sleep and then a long wait while several doctors discussed whether or not the procedures should be performed, but they were and I enjoyed a small window of pain free time after the events. As unbelievable as this sounds I forgot what it is like not to hurt. It's bliss.

You have to remind the hospital staff over and over about CRPS. I am in pain today, because I did not make it clear that in addition to pediatric cameras and needles and hot towels I also had to be positioned extra carefully. My bad.

Next time I am bringing a poster board with info printed on it.

I ached so much the next day that even after soaking in a tub with Epsom salts I did not notice the sticky pad leads on my body.
