After having just about had it with dilaudid not working over and over I finally asked the nurse to call the on call neurologist and ask him what he thought about doing a dhe iv protocol to break the migraine. Wouldn’t you know it, a neuro I hadn’t seen, but had heard his name several times, showed up with this inspired idea to try a dhe iv protocol!!! I’m pretty sure everyone here knows that wasn’t his idea even if his ego wouldn’t allow for it. The migraine d is broken, and even though my TN pain is still acting up, I’d rather treat that at home. My room is hot and muggy and the stench of illnesses is starting to permeate my nostrils. I had one person hacking up a lung in the room next to me with a very loud enterouge which sounded like it was being headed up by Sweet brown (if you don’t know who that is, google it. You’ll thank me later.) Yeaterday that person was replaced by someone who sounds even worse. The dhe had me so out of it that I didn’t notice when dinner came yesterday, either the one by the hospital or the one my parents brought.
I can’t wait to get home and get in bed with my puppies!!! The doc releasing me said to go home and take it easy until I have gamma knife in 10 days. Thats what I plan on doing. I haven’t been able to really take my neurontin as I please since hospitals like to keep a lock down on what you are taking, so I’m hoping I can pop some extra pills when I get home and get the rest of this pain knocked out. I’m sick of people waking me up all the time for vitals so I just want to sleep darn it!!
Oh great that the pain cycle is broken. You had us all so worried there. Wow. Yes, now go home and please stay close to bed and you pups:-). You can go shopping and try on clothes after you’ve healed from the gamma knife. Will the ride home be bumpy? Get your Mom to bring the gabapentin to you so you can gobble a few before you hit the road.
Heather, happy to hear your going home remember REST! Its important to try an lie low until your surgery. I will be saying a prayer for you sweetie.
My Best to you
Glad you are being cut loose from that house of horrors!!!
No place like home!
