Well, my Saturday morning headache turned into so much more. I ended up in the ER Sunday night when I my husband got home from work. My right eye was swollen and red. He was concerned and suggested I go to the ER that way they could just do the spinal tap and give me some relief. Now when my husband suggest that I go to the ER I know things are not looking well.
So we went and they got me right in and seen by a PA. That should have been my first halt right there, I should have asked for a full blown DR. So they move me to another room where they attempted to do a spinal tap, then the PA gets a DR, the DR tries. Between the two of them they stuck me twice and no fluid. I said that is enough I cannot take anymore of this. So they admit me so that I can have a fluro-tap done in the AM. The only benefit I saw Sunday was in the form of Dilaudid IV. So that meant that I got two hours sleep. Then came the fluro-tap, again two sticks at least this time they got fluid.
Now it is Wednesday and I am suffering the side effects of the LP....I cannot sit or stand without excrutiating pain. So after many folks advice I am flat on my back and drinking some caffiene. I am hoping this clears up soon. So to add to staying flat and caffiene, I am also posting this prayer.
Please God, help me to cope with this pain and setback today. Give me the strength not to cry even though I really, really want to. Give my husband patience to deal with me today (even though he already has the patience of Jobe). Give me the patience I need to stay in one spot today.
Pray also for Tracy from DS that her shunt tie off go well.
