One-eyed Willie

Originally posted 2022-01-12 09:00:19. I feel like I look like One-eyed Willie from The Goonies. I’m home from my tear duct bypass surgery from yesterday. From what I remember I only had one issue. My blood pressure. It was upwards of 180 over 100 something and they couldn’t get it down. I was hurting so I imagine that’s the culprit. They gave me more medicine in my IV twice and still didn’t budge my blood…

Still Waiting…

Originally posted 2021-12-16 13:25:26. My last post spoke about me being told I needed to have a fusion asap. After the MRI and nerve conduction study I went back to the the orthopedist for a follow up. Well… he left me so confused. He didn’t see the fusion as urgent anymore and then said I needed a carpal tunnel release surgery. I left there so freaking confused. I immediately contacted my pain management docs expressing…

To doc with lube

Originally posted 2021-11-12 08:40:00. I had an appointment with an orthopedic doctor yesterday. This was for my shoulder/shoulder blade part of back/down my arm issue I wrote a post about. I had it in my mind this was just a muscle issue. I guess this also kind of explains why everything I’ve tried to use to ease the pain didn’t 100% work. I went by myself since I didn’t think this appointment was going to…

Massage Melt

Originally posted 2020-05-08 18:40:51. So, I was challenged to do my first product demo video. Forgive my amateur recording, lol. My house is still in Hurricane Florence recovery mode. Yes, I still have concrete subfloors. Anyway, I demoed Pure Romance’s CBD Massage Melt. Infused with 100 mg of broad-spectrum CBD per bottle, this lavender and chamomile scented massage oil will make you melt! Balancing hydrating jojoba and sweet almond with vitamin-rich cannabis sativa seed, this…

The skeptic

Originally posted 2020-05-02 09:23:36. I was the skeptic when it came to CBD products. I have seen and heard it just like everyone else. People would swear by it. But, I just didn’t think it worked like that. That was until my best friend used the cbd massage melt by Pure Romance. She used it on her wrists, hands, shoulder, arms after driving 15 plus hours bringing a load of their belongings from Missouri. After…

Unexpected

Originally posted 2021-11-07 08:27:32. PUREROMANCE BY AMY MARIE I had another lumbar steroid injection this week to hopefully ease some of my chronic pain. I have had numerous injections and never had a problem with the procedure or anything related to it. This time though it was a bit different. You see because of my previous surgeries and the overgrowth of bonegraft and build up of scar tissue it has made the doc’s ability to…

Telemed Appointments

Originally posted 2020-04-21 10:50:42. You know this coronavirus quarantine stuff has its ups and downs. One plus for me is not having to go into a crowded office and having to sit in a overpopulated waiting room. Since Dusty’s immune system is already compromised this is a huge weight off my shoulders! Alot of the patients that are in one of the doctor’s offices are children. As we know as children we didn’t think about…

DCR Scheduled

Originally posted 2021-10-16 07:53:04. Welp… It’s scheduled. I finally found an oculoplastic surgeon. His practice is about an hour away, so not that bad of a drive at all. He needed to test and see if my tear duct was blocked and if so, how bad. He did attempt to flush (or try to) my tear duct to see how bad it was blocked. He pushed the fluid filled syringe through my tear duct while…
