(bear) You narna!
So, tapentadol is out and morphine is in...... he also told us the spinal cord stimulation is now definitely out, even if I changed my mind about it, because of my IIH. He’s going to refer me to the Bath Centre for pain services to have a Residential assessment (I believe it’s usually a months visit).
Dentists is at 3pm, my dentist doesn’t work Mondays but he’s coming in specially, bless him ;)
You're so rock and roll today! (giggle)
A months visit? As in staying there a month???
How do you feel about the residential? The meds change?
Hope the dentist is OK too love...
I have had a few real nice times at the dentist. I hope yours will be ok.
Thank you
The residential will be 2 weeks but I’ll probably have a couple of outpatients appointments first to see if I’m suitable. How do I feel about that? Nervous but that’s the last thing I have to try so I’ll dowhat I need to.
The morphine? Ok surprisingly. It is what it is
Apparently it’s only 2 weeks but I’ll find out more I suppose. And, yes, staying there. That’s not going to be easy .....
Ok, the dentist. Thankfully the tooth I lost was part of the temporary bridge and the permanent bridge was ready so was fitted. I wasn’t great and needed 10mg diazepam but was still a nervous wreck. But that’s not the end of it. The reason, they found out, the first bridge failed is because the tooth next to it, which it was anchored to with a post, has cracked and was twisting. They sorted the bridge out so it’s not attached to that tooth but I’ll need to go back in a few months to try to work out what to do. Eventually, the tooth will also need to come out ......
Off for a blood test this morning
Blimey that's a couple of tough days.. I hope you're resting when you get back from the blood test?
Yes indeed. Have a rest. Anything else planned just for you to have some fun?
I lay down for a nap at 11.30 and woke up 4 hours later. I’m still drowsy but it’s to be expected with a change in opioids
