This morning I had my followup appointment. I haven’t been sleeping well, (what else is new). When I went to bed last night I felt a jolt of pain from the Trigeminal Neuralgia and got up right away to take the medicine. I am so paranoid of moving, laying down, whatever motion that would trigger the pain. This does not make for a good nights sleep. I’m afraid to move.
Anyway, I’m feeling very weak today. I thought of cancelling but decided not to. I also considered using the wheelchair but decided against it. The sidewalk leading to the entrance is is a gradual incline, not straight uphill so I wasn’t sure I could make it. When I checked in and sat down I was out of breath and felt sweaty. My heart was beating fast. l. It surprised me how out of breath I was. My legs feel very weak. I’m hoping its just a bad day.
The appointment went well. I expressed my concern that only one person noticed and she replied that I shouldn’t put too much into it, that maybe they were afraid to ask. Whatever. She thought I looked great, (of course she would say that). I still have the threads, I thought they had dissolved. They take a long time to dissolve and I would look better as the months go by. When doing research about this procedure I did read that it takes months for the full effect. Whoohoo!
Today is the first nice day, 62 and sunny with a beautiful blue sky. I am itching to go out and work in the yard but I feel very weak so I won’t.
