Ok, so I had 2 nerve block injections of Friday. That was an experience to say the least. It didn't really hurt, but afterward I couldn't feel the back of my head. It was really weird. The effects began almost immediately by reducing the pain. It was slow at first, but by the time I woke up on Saturday, I was pain free. After 3 1/2 weeks, I am finally pain free! I don't know how long it's going to last, but it's a good feeling in the here and now.
Today I finally got my stitches out. I was all set to chew out the doctor because he made me keep them in so long, but when he came in, he did so with a smile on his face and he sat down to talk to me. He's never done that before. I'm thinking to myself... "I can't chew you out if you're being nice." I'm supposed to get a call from Barrow's from the surgeon who did the aneurysm clipping to do one final follow up and then I'll be done at Barrow Neurological Institute. That will be a huge relief.
Tomorrow I have another spinal tap scheduled to check on the cocci and see how the levels are. The good thing: it's scheduled 2 miles from my house rather than 20. The bad thing: it's yet another spinal tap. Oh well.
It's going to be a busy week.
