Desquamation
I don’t think in my upwards of 40 surgeries I’ve seen my scars or sutures peel like this. I have put some of my Miracle Oil on it twice a day in hopes it lessens their appearance. The pain is definitely improving from the beginning. I have to wear a boot when I am up and around (which to be honest ain’t much). My boots have airbags 🤣. The turn dial (A) switches the control…

The Crapper
This week has been weird when it comes to bathroom visits. After my doctor’s appointment on Tuesday we went around the corner to a small restaurant to get something to eat before our ride home. I had to use the bathroom so I try my best using my walker to get to the bathroom. I do my thing and then attempt to wash my hands. After I wash my hands somehow the sink comes off…

Ketamine Infusions Show Growing Promise for Treating Anxiety and Depression
Originally posted 2022-09-20 09:16:38. I didn’t do ketamine for these things but have seen a noticeable difference. If you have never tried it and you get the opportunity to, do it. Growing body of studies indicate ketamine treatment for mental health could become more widely accessible in the coming years.

Painful Progress
As we were hanging there in the waiting area I lost my balance…and… BAM. I caught myself with the “bad foot” Split second reaction. Then I reached for my husband and latched onto him THAT SHIT HURT!!!! I wanted to scream like a mf’r in a room full of people. I burst into tears. Thankfully my surgeon didn’t think I damaged anything. In two weeks I get this cast off, xray, then they are supposed…

Day 921
Day three feels like nine hundred and twenty-one. I’m in so much pain I am not even hungry. Problem is I need to eat being on all these medications. The nerve block more than likely wore off today since it is only supposed to last 3 or so days. I stayed in the hospital overnight because I was in so much pain. I remember looking at the monitor and it was like 168 over something.…

Scar Tissue
Originally posted 2020-11-16 09:00:17. Since I haven’t been able to get an appointment with my favorite massage therapist since the beginning of 2020 I had to find something to help. I won this Wonder Maxi massage gun in one of Adoption First Animal Rescue’s fundraising raffles. I started working on areas that never seem to get enough time. My midsection, my stomach. I have had so many surgeries and alot of them have been in my…

PRP Therapy – Ready, Set, Go
Originally posted 2018-02-12 10:50:19. My appointment to start try Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy is set and ready to go. It is only on my ankle right now as the doctor did not want to tell me yes or not if it was possible with the condition of my spine. So she ordered a MRI and we will just have to wait and see. In the meantime, I have started the “prep” prior to the…
