Butt Report for May 19, 2013
I actually did have an incrementally better day today
than two previous days. A slightly “less-pain” day.
What exactly does
that mean?
I didn't have to take any "extra" Ibuprofens (the
day before I took 7 instead of 6--and one day I took 8) and I didn't have to
supplement with Acetaminophen (The day before I took 6 of those in
addition to the ibuprofens). And I didn't have to get up twice in the
night because I was in too much pain to sleep and take more pain meds and apply
hot compresses.
But I also don't consider missing my own featured poetry
reading and leaping about in pain and having to sit on a heating pad all day a
"good" day.
I took exactly 6 Ibuprofens yesterday. It
doesn't stop the pain, but it does take the edge off a little. That is a
slightly improved day.
I have 9 days left before I can speak
with the doctor again. 9 days before I can call for an appointment, then
if there is to be a botox shot, there are several days of prep required.
And I don't know how quickly they schedule you. Then 72 hours
before the botox takes effect, and then the thing still has to heal on its
own. I am not eager to do the botox, but this is wearing and exhausting. :-(
