Hello all,

I hope we are all having a mostly good day.

I wanted to reach out for prayers and healing vibes. Tomorrow I am driving 3 hours to Houston to my Physical Medicine ultrasound guided injection guru to see if we can safely shoot up my nine inches of surgical scars with any more steroid to reduce that mess. I still have a lot of it that I step on constantly and that drags by and crunches down nerves in my ankle. Ouch! I have made improvements every time we do this but it is risky and I can't lose anymore healthy tissue to atrophy. It is a tight, tricky area to inject. We'll see what he says. I am hoping, hoping, hoping to improve my remaining pain contributors aside from my nerve damage so that the ketamine has the best chance of long term gains.

Thanks everyone!

Hi everybody!

Houston is mine! Mwa-ha-ha. I took it back at the museum which was fabulous.

Driving 6 hours there and back and getting my foot shot up in between was less fun.

The good news. PM&R injected two areas of the deep surgical field where scar tissue is right over nerves. Hence the ultrasound. His statement was "God Bless, it's hard! Yeah I'll shoot that." Doc is a bit worried about any rupture so I am to sit on the couch eating bonbons for at least two weeks, preferably three. Back in the pool for me.

Less good news. He wants dermatology to treat the superficial keloid scar that is so painful. Since it's not a deep structure I guess it's not his thing. So I live with it or find someone to do it. I have had keloids that itch, sting and burn before -taking years to calm down. I keep hoping if this one settles then I have one less thing setting my nerves off. Maybe wishful thinking. I guess I can go see someone and get info. Geez, what's one more appointment at this point?

Thanks for all the prayers. There and back in one piece!
