Dear Celticgirl,
Joy is right. Perhaps you should start writing down dates and names now before you forget. And get hospital records before they disappear, because they do.
Hi Mel!!
Thanks for your input!!
I'm sorry you had a bad experience as well!! I guess next time I will think twice about letting a 'student' anywhere near me, but I am always up for someone learning, that's how they become drs, and truthfully the Anesth I had after who took 2x himself to get it right as well was like 80 lol!! Not to mention the Anesth who did the blood patch was about maybe 60 and he had a difficult time as well, so I am going to chalk it up to the fact that I am obviously not an easy poke, nothing in my life EVER comes easy so why would something like this be any easier...HA HA HA HA!!! I am FINALLY on the road to recovery.
I am HOWEVER still having the KILLER headaches which brought me to the ER to the first place which they are trying to find out what's going on in that sense. But they have said they aren't letting me go home until I am better!!!
All I know is I am SO THANKFUL to have found this cool site and to have met the peeps I have on here as I feel I have met friends for life!! The support that you all have shown to a complete stranger during my time of need was unbelievable, in fact, I felt more compassion from you all then from some of my friends and family....pretty sure they all thought I was nuts, until I was admitted and have been stuck here since ha ha ha!!
What area of the world are you all from?? I live in Canada.
Thanks again guys!! Hope you have a FLAWLESS day!!!
CHEERS🍀CG
Can I just ask for a copy of my records while I am here??? I don't know how that works.
Thanks Mel!!
I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to leave me a message and give me advice. I am currently still in hospital for this WHOLE fiascal and am seriously going STIR CRAZY!!!
Hope you have a FLAWLESS day!!
Cheers🍀CG
Hi CelticGyrl,
I read that you are all for students learning - that's how they become better doctors. Just wanted to mention that I'm donating my body to science - specifically for medical students to study my back. Maybe they can learn something from it to make them better surgeons. They will have my body for 3 weeks, then they will cremate it, and send the ashes to my daughter. If you want to know more about it, let me know and I'll send you a private message.
Linda
Would LOVE TO!! THANKS!!
You know that great feeling where your whole foot aches all the way around like someone is squeezing the crap out of it, the burning pain on the bottom of your foot, the needles of fire that pop out of your toes? Well, I'm all about that today! Can I get an AMEN SISTER!
Maybe I could write a song about it. I'll call it "Great Toes of Fire"
Linda
OH GOODNESS!!! Hope you feel better and get some relief SOON!!! I think we should DEF make a book full of songs of our trials and tribulations....or at least just a book. I bet a book in a comedy form would and could be a best seller!!!
Hope you get some relief soon and I am here if you need me!!😝
FYI-An MRI of your brain when you have a Migraine SUCKS!! Why they HAVE to shake your head like you are on a roller coaster I don't know but GEEZ, what torture this has been!! I hope you are all having an AMAZING PAIN-FREE NIGHT!!
CHEERS🍀

And thamks to you as well for your response. Yes, I am always here and want to let you know that I am here for you. The suffering that you been through no one else should go through. I always thought that an MRI is where you are to stay still. I didn't know that your head would be agitated. I hope they didn't shake it too much. 
Being in the hospital is no fun anyway. I hope you get better soon. Just hang in there, OK? Everyone here is for you. I will talk to you later.
Love the idea of a book of comedy about our trials and tribulations!
Like Gilda Radner's book about cancer "It's always something". I'm low on pain meds, get more Tuesday afternoon, and I'm seeing the real doctor at the PAIN Clinic on Thursday. They want to do the RFA next week, but I'm not sure they have the levels right. The first sympathetic nerve block actually helped my neuropathy for a week! It didn't take the "dead" feeling away, but it helped with the numbness. Not much I can do right now. thank goodness I can just lay around - don't have kids to chase after or anything.
Been watching netflix all day.
Thanks for writing.
Linda
Yeah, it's so LOUD, and it feels like it's sucking your brain out.
I take it you are still in the hospital! I was in the hospital for 3 weeks once. I was lucky - the hospital food was superb and they served it in little black suits - it was like being at a first class restaurant. My doctor sucked though. I had about 4 doctors. One was the hospital doctor, and he got it in his head that I was there for the drugs. The other 3 doctors were very sympathetic and worried.
Hope you have good doctors at least.
Take care
Linda
Actually, I have 4 Drs, 2 Drs and 2 student Drs and I feel like I am in an episode of house lol. They are brilliant and young all of them. They aren't cocky, they already told me they don't think I'm crazy and that they won't let me leave until they come to the bottom of what's going on (not sure if that's a good thing though lol) they have NO PROBS giving me the pain meds needed for the migraine, I NOW know why Dilaudid is the new 'Heroin' on the streets!! LOL!! Hopefully, I will get some answers as to what this migraine is all about as to what was the original cause to this WHOLE fiascal!! HOPE YOU ARE FEELING BETTER!!! Have a good night, Janene
Mel makes a good point. I thought you were supposed to lay very still during an MRI - unless they stopped you, agitated your head, and started again. And like he says, hope they were careful with your neck and everything. Add this to your documentation - who the tech was and everything. Cause that's kind of strange.
Hope your young doctors are cute at least!
I'm taking an ambien tonight - hopefully it will help me sleep better.
Have a good night Janene.
Linda
Maybe we could come up with some funny definitions for our ailments, pains, and woes. It would be a funny idea. We could invite Cynthia and Mel and anybody else who wants to. We could make up a whole list. Just for grins, because we need grins really bad sometimes.
ABSOFREAKINLOUTELY!!! I think it would be a blast!! Let's do it!! HA HA HA!!
I'll start working on some ideas, and invite Cynthia and Mel.
Well, I couldn't figure out where would be the appropriate place to discuss our "humorous" section, so I'm just going to start a discussion.
What should I call it? How about:
(And Mr. Moderator, t hese are ideas off the top of my head for our discussion)=
Living in Pain with Humor and Sarcasm
Pain is No Joke, but here we are
Living in Pain, One WHine at a Time
Whining and Dining with Chronic Pain
If I come up with more, I'll let you know, but I'm at an awkward angle.
Love ya,
Linda
Hey Linda:
Thanks for agreeing with me as I wanted to keep on track. I know that celticGyrl will see my post. Since you are in contact with her, I thought that it is OK to say a word or two. It is tough enough to be in a position such as this but having medical staff trying to move your head and neck that way is unconceivable. If a person has a neck injury, it is always mobilized. To have it shaking is not should not be done. This only stands to reason. I won't go on here but I want to say That I will talk to you in your post. Meanwhile both of you take care. Bye and have a good night.
