Happy Saturday Everyone!
Just an update… I was able to not only make an appointment with the neurosurgery office, but I actually went to my appointment already! She ordered a DIFFERENT MRI and some X-rays of my neck to check for compressed disks. I was able to get the X-rays today, but the first available appointment for the MRI was not until February 25th. So, I have to wait a little longer than I would like, but at least the appointment is on the books! Luckily, I also just received my prescription for pain pills, which actually NEED to be about 3 times stronger, honestly. I am supposed to “only” take one every 4 hours or so as needed. Through trial and error, I have found that I need to take at LEAST 2 at a time to get any relief. I can hear some of you already… “YOU SHOULD’T TAKE THAT MANY!” I know, I hear it from Jason too. But in my defense, I am actually a natural redhead and sometimes they need increased anesthesia and higher dosages of pain medications to feel the same effect as “normal” people due to a genetic mutation. I am one of those people. ANYWAY, just like I tell Jason, I PROMISE to becareful so I don’t overdose. In the unlikely event that I do, I have some Narcan in the house to reverse the effect. Not that I want to test it. But I REALLY NEED some kind of relief from this pain. I hate wincing in pain every time I use my right arm.
So, on to the Saturday Selfies! I promised someone that I would try to post more couples/more than one photos and I have posted some below. Now, to this person, I KNOW they are probably NOT EXACTLY what you wanted, but I wanted at least give you a few. I hope they are OK.
Enjoy your Saturday!
Jason
