I have been given three epidurals (right above my tail-bone) with Lidocane. I have had great temperature increase and blood-flow improvement.

Today I went in for my usual epidural and he added Ketamine to the mix. WAHOO! I feel great! I do hurt, like always, I always feel like I've been run over by a truck or bus the day of and after an injection. BUT... I DON'T HURT!

OMG! I don't hurt! Still on my meds, doesn't want me to stop when not needed but WTH! I don't hurt.

So, pardon me friends if I ignore you tonight. (I am not. Just trying to enjoy this wonderful relief!) I am going to NOT HURT for an evening and enjoy my family. Flippin' awesome!

I feel like I have found a very special secret!

Hope everyone has a pain-free night.
