Hi ayre and Vicki I really appreciate yalls support I’m up viewing My page and seeing yalls comment… Praying for each and everyone of yall. I’m having a ketamine infusion brain surgery in 3 hours due to my damaged nerves in my mouth. This is my 2nd infusion. They will reboot and reset my brain hoping to cure my damaged nerves. After researching others go thru this procedure normally u have to do 3 of these for it to work. Hopefully this 2nd time around will help me so I don’t have to do it a 3rd time. I’m will keep everyone posted hang in there everyone… I will let everyone know how this infusion go. Thanks ---

My surgery went real well… This is my 2nd ketamine infusion. I was in surgery for 6 hours and recovery for 2 hours… My equilibrium is off balance and my focus is off just a little… My first infusion was horrible and I didn’t think I would ever want to do another infusion but each time my pain in my mouth reduces more and more. The dr told me that I need to complete 3 ketamine infusion brain surgeries and I would see more results in the pain reducing in my damaged nerves in my mouth. SO my dr has set my last final third ketamine infusion on August 20 in 2 weeks… I’m looking forward to being able to have a successful ending story to tell. I never will give up…Thanks for everyone’s support. ---
