Hi guys. Saw the doctor yesterday for another set of blocks. So far, I just seem to hurt more. Had a bad skin reaction to the Clonidine patches, plus found out that in addition to "helping" with the pain, it lowered my blood pressure to a hundred and something over 44. Needless to say, no more clonidine patches.

The doctor and I discussed removal of my stim, as it is apparent I can't utilize it. I can still only use it while sitting completely still and even then I get chest wall stim and it jumps all over. Definitely not what it is suppose to do. He and I agreed we would wait to remove it, every surgery I have had since the accident has resulted in RSD problems. I am super tired of this. I have such a horrific headache (probably due to the lowered blood pressure) and I've been up since 4:30 after not getting much sleep. I am also tired of the cold - I want warm weather. I NEED warm weather. Also, my daughter's goat is driving me crazy - she is due to kid any day now and is being a pain. Poor kid is running out to the barn every couple of hours to check her. I try and make it out at least once a day so I can check her over as best I can. It's hard though, and I usually just tell her or hubby what to feel for (checking her legs for swelling, udder for signs of mastitis, and her ligaments).
