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…

We are waiting on an official date for surgery as the veterinary surgeon was called up for jury duty. Hopefully the case she has jury duty on isn’t one that is long and drawn out and will be quick. But if it is then it what it…
Originally posted 2023-07-06 12:58:20. I have reached the 4 week post op mark from the latest surgery. I go to my follow-up appointment an hour and some change away. This time my bff goes with me. I wanted to stop by Pottery Barn after the appointment to look at a recliner. Anyway… I’m at the appointment. They were pretty busy, backed up from one of their employees being absent due to her mom passing away.…

So… he took three biopsies while he was in there. Thank goodness for what I call the Michael Jackson drug… sad that the drug is widely known as that but it is what it is. Bottom half of my body hurts, now the other…
Originally posted 2021-08-20 09:00:00. I have been having lots of pain, more specifically nerve pain. I have had to take more of my Neurontin because of it. Thing that I absolutely despise about this medication is the side effect of weight gain. I have done trigger point injections to try and get some relief but the latest one didn’t bring much relief. So, now we are going to try an epidural to help. I can’t…
Originally posted 2023-06-03 17:08:39. This surgery seems to start off a bit different. Now… this may be too much info but majority of my netheregions is purple. This is what I have to sit on to be semi comfortable. I didn’t realize I needed to relive having a monthly cycle. 😩 I have cramps without the rest of it. I’m not exactly sure why I have cramps. I mean they moved my bladder I get…
Originally posted 2020-02-28 09:00:00. Had my 6 week back surgery appointment this week. So far it looks like everything is healing like it should be. My nerves that were previously compressed have seemed to start healing. I am unable to tell which nerves were affected versus weren’t affected. Where I stated before that I had started to have numbness on the top of my foot where it previously was more on the bottom. The doctor…
Originally posted 2023-05-28 12:05:06. It would happen to rain three straight days. I went to both my pre-op appointments on Friday and found out that someone mistakenly told me I could continue to take the naproxen and aspirin. I smell like eucalyptus lol. I have used my cbd muscle rub alot more today. I knew something didn’t seem right about that. I have never had anyone tell me that I could take them prior to…
Since most of you know I have had a multitude of surgeries in my lifetime. While at physical therapy recently I was talking to one of my therapists about my abdominal scar tissue. It’s a pain, literally. I have had a consult with a plastic surgeon for them to work on it but all he did was tell me I was a candidate for a tummy tuck but of course it’s out of pocket. I…
Originally posted 2023-05-19 09:00:00. Yesterday the anesthesia nurse for my upcoming surgery called for the pre-surgery instructions. Nothing out of the ordinary until she started telling me what medications I needed to stop and ones I could continue taking. My diabetes medication is normally not taken the morning of the surgery. Pretty normal. But she also said not to take it the day before as well. Now this was new to me. My diabetes is…
