Dumb luck or providence?!?!
While I was in the hospital two weeks ago, I was visited by some doctors from the pain control team. They talked to me about doing a pain block (ciliac plexus block), which would hopefully help my abdomen and back pain. I had made a follow-up appointment with the doctor for Friday, but I was so uncomfortable over the weekend, that I put in a call to see if it were possible to move the appointment up sooner.
Well, it turns out that the OR had a window to squeeze me in and I’m having the procedure today. It is outpatient, so I should be home tonight, but if it may help with my pain, I’m all for it (though, I did discover last night that if I took a lorazepam WITH my lortab, I sleep better).
We’ll see what happens, but I thought I’d share that nugget with you all.
Cheers,
Merle
Best of luck! Go pain killers/blockers!
Merle- Sorry you have to go through this again. Since they didn’t see anything spread maybe the chemo will kill it all this time and end this for good. Keep your spirits up, we are all pulling for you!
