A Woman on a Mission

This is my refuge, my cathartic release... It's not glitzy or glamorous, but it's ME.

Say Wha...?

It's absolutely unbelievable... My mouth is still hanging open in shock.

I had a doctor's appointment today, and was informed that someone had again, dropped the ball- meaning my nerve block was going to be put off. My doctor was very apologetic, and called in a favor from a specialist that I've seen for injections before... The same guy who hit the wrong nerve the last time I had an epidural. He said that I might want to get a different sort of injection instead, and that he can fit me in to do an examination to determine what to do... Which makes me wonder why I ever saw a neurosurgeon to begin with, since now this anesthesiologist thinks that we might need try some procedures I've had done previously.

I contacted the anestheologist's office, and was told that it would be in my best interest to wait until after our Mexico trip... Just in case something were to go awry. I can understand that completely. But for crying out loud, this block has been put off four times, and now, it may be taking a back seat to more facet injections. I am tired of the flip flopping going on here. While I love my pain doc and his bedside manner, I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't just cut my losses and go elsewhere. This has gone from mildly annoying to completely ridiculous.

Again I'm questioning... Is this a sign? I don't have a belief system to speak of, so is it mere coincidence or something more?

Thanks Jill... We all have our own crosses to bear, so to speak. But I appreciate the warm thoughts.
