Default Round two

I'm going back down to LA on the 30th to have my second ketamine infusion on the 1st. I'm hoping that my doc will increase the dose a bit, and I can get more than 2 months pain/drug free. I'll let u guys know how it goes when I get home on the 2nd.

thanks everyone! as of now the pain has made its way up to my shoulder in my left right arm. my right arm and foot are still pain free from the first k infusion. i'm keeping my fingers crossed that all the pain will stay away for significantly longer than 2 months like the 1st one did.

i started working at a hotel this week, which is what i was doing pre-rsd while i was in college. so i'll be giving it the 9 month trial run (which is what is allowed by social security/disability) before they start deducting from ur benefits. so i'm hoping over summer i'll not only be able to pay off most of my credit card stuff but also save up in case i'll need a 3rd infusion. my parents have paid for the 1st and now the 2nd one, so i really want to be able to have the money set aside and ready for when i need a 3rd one. i'm gonna see if there's a way i can make a savings account that is to be used for medical bills where social security won't count that money as income so i don't have to worry about my benefits being deducted or taken away after the 9 month trial period. i'm gonna go down to the office tomorrow and talk to them about it.
