Well tomorrow is the day! By 6:30 AM...I can't believe it is THAT early! I will be at the surgery center for the prep of the epidural in my back. This time they are setting me up with an IV (YIKES the part that scares the hell out of me considering they can NEVER find a vein!) and then when they do the procedure they will have dye in my spine to see where to place the shots! Yikes
I am fucking scared! But I have to do it! It is like the switch was turned off and the pain is fully back. Sigh
Good thing for Prince Valium! I am taking one tonight...(in about 5 minutes) and one in the AM to get me there without throwing up I hope! So wish me good thoughts and magical thinking to get me through!!!! Rolling eyes! IV!
Thinking of you today. Please let me know how your surgery went. Much love ~ AJ

OMG, I just read this! Belated wishes that it went well for you.
I'm sorry the pain got so bad again, and it is like a switch is turned!
Keeping you close in thought and prayer.
Big hugs, Dee

I have had a few epidurals in my time and that are not too bad. Make sure you drink tons of water after your procedure because sometimes the inclusion of foreign fluid in the spine can cause an imbalance. Sending you super groovy vibes!
