Morning of Day 4: woo-zy

woozy is how I feel. I haven't eaten or drunk anything since last night. this is really no fault or choice of mine. but because I'm going in for 'surgery'

(my nurse just came in laughing like, "oh naomi, haha, you're gong to kill me. haha. I know you really needed smthing but then all thee other patients were before you. hahaha" -_-. I've needed my pain medicine for quite a while. and I think I first asked her like... a half an hour ago? bleah. "What number would you say your headache is?" Me: "uuuummmm. number? I dont know. I just want to feeeeeeeeeel better!" But so it goes. classify and numerify (dont bother me with real words) we must. )

but back to the 'surgery.' Before any 'surgical' procedure one is not allowed to eat or drink for many hours, soo.... I am currently gaining all sustenance (read: something like sugar water? nah. prob ahs mroe nutrients in it than that, but...) from my IV.

but yes, I am not having surgery surgery. I am getting something called facet blocks. Where they go to your facet joints (joints in your vertebrae I think are all facets? Im prob incorrect on quite a few medical thngs here) and they injext numbing medicine/something that loosens them? I had it done a few yers ago when I was here. It usually helps (although they only do it to 1 or 2 joints) albeit temporarily. should be followed by PT to keep them open.

anyhoo, (that word kind of reminds me of like... 7th grade? not why I used it. though I must say, I almost erased it in embarrasment ^^) I just got a huge shot of a migraine drug, one that has A LOT of muscle relaxant so my brain is starting to shut down, so I must go. (I also want to go to this 'assertiveness training' class : ) did i mention there's all these kinds of 'group session.'

ok. til later. hopefully after facet block thing (afternoon. early soemtime, I hope). and hopefully after Ive then gotten something to eat.

toodl-oo! (another 7th grade email word ^^;;)
