A Quick Update
Friday, September 21
Well, I still can't move. At least not more than to
go to the bathroom and getting up to post this quick
update. The muscle relaxer is doing nothing. My neck
is still locked and I can't sit up on my own. The
Percocet is not killing the pain in the least bit.
I've now taken 3 Percocet (5-525) tablets this
morning along with my non-functioning muscle relaxer
and surprise, surprise--- zero effect. I tried to get
in to see the spinal surgeon guy but he's booked till
mid-October and he'd be an out of network doctor on
my insurance anyway-- which means I can't afford it.
I'm going in to see my regular doctor this afternoon to see if there's a different muscle relaxer that will at least um.... actually "relax" my muscles. I know he's going to think I'm full of shit that nothing has worked. The doctor in the ER could hardly believe the nurse when she told him the morphine didn't work, "It's been 45 minutes and the morphine didn't work... No, she is still in pain.... No, she definitely is. I can tell by looking at her face...." I just really didn't want to spend the weekend bed-ridden in agony but it seems like it's heading in that direction.
So for now, I still can't move, but just feel incredibly doped up and still in the same amount of pain. :(
