There's Never An Easy Solution
Friday, September 21
I had good intentions of posting an update when I got
home but stumbled to my bed instead and passed out
until now -- 9:30pm.
The doctor basically told me that I was prescribed what should help and for some reason my muscles are going into very severe spasm. It actually was worse than I thought and starts mid-spine up to the base of my skull. There's nothing else he can prescribe me but more Percocet, which he did, but I'm trying not to take it because I'm now forced to sleep with a big bowl in my bed from repeated trips running to the bathroom to throw up from way too much medication in my system and I have completely lost my appetite :(
I have a new muscle relaxer that might work better than the Skalexis but I haven't taken it yet because I'm afraid one more pill might actually put that bowl in my bed to use-- over and over again.
Monday I have to go in for an MRI of my neck and back and I have an appointment with a physical therapist on Tuesday. I hate physical therapy. I had to go once for a different injury and it was pure torture. I was kind of surprised (and concerned) at the urgency the doctor booked these appointments. Usually things don't happen this snappy and they don't hand out this much Percocet. Apparently I look like I'm in pain-- which I should, cause F**K I AM!
I guess on a more positive, with the volume of prescriptions I have had to process in the past week I now have $175 in Target gift cards from the $25 new prescription coupons. If only I had known that Target accepted the CVS prescription transfer coupons last week! I had $275 in gift cards from CVS that could've been at Target, which could've bought me an Xbox. Pathetic, I know.
I still haven't visited email or any of that yet. Back to bed for me. :(
