Wish ME LUCK! Third Nerve Block~ THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

July 13, 2006

I am going in for my THIRD Nerve Block on my L5, S1 area! The Doc gave it a

go, after knowing my back is in a bad spasm, and we will see how it goes

when I go to lay on the table on my stomach, tomorrow afternoon! Wants me to

stop the Fentanyl patch, as it is too strong of a medication, and wants me to

continue with just the muscle relaxer and Percocet. I am nervous, as the

patch helps, but doesn't stick on, and the company just says to put the first

aide tape on it, and it still isn't working, so I guess a good thing, but I

hate

all these meds! The way I look and my meds, you would think I was old!

When I am in my mid thirties, and even when I finally got my hair cut, SHORT,

as with long hair, it was tough taking a shower with my back in spasm. I even

got it dyed and the lady thought I was in my 50's before it was dyed and I

told her my age! Oh, I was livid! Ya know? I guess with the way I looked

and the gray hair, omg, I want to act my actual age, not what I look and feel,

right now!

I am nervous, as I can't get KNOCKED OUT, with the mild sleep apnea, so I do

take my pain meds, and he wants me, now, to take the Muscle Relaxer

(Zanflex) (I sleep with it, so should be interesting!!). Then I must take it

easy

for at least five days, then I see the lawyer about the lady who ran into me,

when I was walking home from my son's school in December. I have to bring

all my bills and income I lost. Oh, so much FUN!

Then my fiancee is taking my son to see CARS! NOT FAIR! I want to go, but

he said to get both of them out of my hair for a little while! Oh, so much

fun!

Just hope and pray that this ONE works, and that it gets rid of all the pain

and that I can stand up and walk with no spasms! Oh, I am nervous, but hope

it works!

Thanks in advance for all your thoughts and prayers, and I will be online,

soon!

Hugs,

Dawn
