Today started off ok. Anies was home before her trip. So we planned to tag team infectious disease today. But that was short lived. Around 10, I got a call saying that the Dr had a “family emergency” and that I needed to reschedule for tomorrow. Not thinking straight I just said ok. That’s when… Continue reading Day of Frustration and Ignorance

Little bit of writers block this week. Just haven’t had anything noteworthy to write about. I finished up my last Dr visit last week with my GP filling out my STD extension paperwork. Originally I was supposed to return at the end of this week, but I made the call to extend. Why? Well. Shit… Continue reading Escaping the Cycle

This whole not sleeping thing is getting old. I can’t shut off the pain out of my brain anymore. Wife gives me face rubs. A lot. Everytime she does it I can find calm for about an hour. Half the time, she puts me out. I was hoping for that tonight, but it didn’t happen.… Continue reading Wide Awake

Today I called into Klarisana if they received the paperwork from Prism, and as expected, pain management signed off on the use in their care. Thank. Fucking. God. But I was running behind and had to call back later. I must have hit every stop light, person that couldn’t drive, and traffic to infectious disease.… Continue reading Ketamine Update and etc.

What the actual fuck is going on? Another one….. I have a feeling this isn’t the last one.

K. Today sucked. It’s also Aggies birthday. Which didn’t help things either. I woke up at 4am in the worst pain in my mouth and in my sinuses. The sinus part has been slowly getting worse over the past few weeks. The usual stinging burning can’t breathe feeling. I took a dilaudid and went back… Continue reading Not a Fun Day

Woke up this morning at 6:30 to a crapton of pain again. This has worn out it’s welcome. 100%. As I tried to get everything under control, I started writing a list of things for Dr Lupo to discuss today. Lupo is the one who owns the ear issues. He’s the one that did the… Continue reading Not Your Typical Monday

For probably the last year, I have no idea what that means. Since the pain began to intensify, my sleep went to absolute shit. And yes. That’s WITH Ambien. Since the dalbavancin, I’ve been able to sleep the past 3 nights unbroken with 8+ hours of sleep. They say delirium starts when you don’t sleep.… Continue reading Sleep Is Key

I woke up this morning feeling much different. My fever last night hit 101.7. Everything hurt. It’s the familiar feeling of what antibiotics (the right ones) do. Typically within 5 seconds of waking up, the agonizing pain hits reminding me it’s still there. But what’s different about today, is it was less. Much less. Typically… Continue reading 24 Hours Later

Woke up at 3am this morning to the usual pus in my mouth and in my sinuses. I’m averaging 3-4 hours tops with sleep. That’s with Ambien too. I’m just a walking husk at this point. I got a pair of bone conduction headphones for when I can’t sleep and I watch TV. That way… Continue reading Dalbavancin
