No more valium :(
December 13th, 2008
Well my last 2 spinal treatments have come and gone. The first was Monday and lets just say I had a bad day. First the valium didn’t work and so was awake and felt EVERYTHING!!!! bu hao. Then got a wicked headache. The medicine they gave me didn’t work and I couldn’t sleep. The poor night nurse took my blood pressure which had tanked, even lying down 88/44 ( that was for you Chowda), and so I got another little pill that really helped with the headache and my blood pressure. Don’t know what it was, and frankly don’t care, it work and thats all that mattered to me.
My last spinal was yesterday and it went very well. No headache, no backache, and no drop in blood pressure. I couldn’t fall asleep last night to save my life but actually feel good today. So with no more spinals means no more valium………its bitter sweet 
Going to take it easy today anyway but tomorrow we plan to go out and about for the afternoon as we only have a few days left before coming home. 5 weeks really flew by but excited to see everyone back home, not so excited about the plane ride though, oh well, a means to an end.

Just read all your blogs…..sounds like this is quite a bit different from the previous experiences we shared. We are assuming this is the hospital specifically for spinal injuries so if another trip is planned, this would be the place to go? The procedures seem more uncomfortable, have they decided more tests, etc. need to be done in order to better the results?
Wishing you all the best and tell the family hello from Missouri, USA!!
