First Spinal
I had my first spinal injection on Monday, June 22. I wasn’t sure exactly what it was going to be like, but it turned out to be as bad as I thought it would be. I had mine at 3:30pm. As they were wheeling me into the room, I said prayer hoping these stem cells cwould help restore my vision. They gave me medicine to relax and calm me down. I was greatful I had a very good doctor that was able to do it the first try. next thing I knew, I was being wheeled back into my room where I had to aly flat on my back for 6 hours. Luckily, for half the time I was able to sleep, until a nurse decied to wake me up. Other than that, the time seemed to pass pretty quickly. It past quicker than I thought it would. As soon as my 6 hours were up, I got up and had this horrible headache and felt kinda dizzy. So, I just ate something and went straight to bed. I finally got up the next morning thinking I felt better, and got up once more. i felt worse. I had a headache, back hurted, and neck was sore. It was quite painful getting up. That’s when I just figured to go back to sleep or just stay in bed. And that’s exactly what I did all day. Finally, around 6pm I felt well enough to get out of bed to eat something, get dressed, and to get out of my room for once. All that rest and drinking a lot of fluids does help a lot. Other than that, everything was worth while. It wasn’t too bad at all. Now, I’m just waiting to see what those stem cells can do for me. I have my next IV on Friday, June 26. As, I wait for my next IV and spinal; I’m eager to see what results I get. I will be sure to keep everyone posted of any results I see.
