Changing Medications (Level of Trust Required) (Content TV-MA)
ProfessorTomoe replied to ProfessorTomoe's topic in Off Topic Discussion
7:53 p.m. CST 20171107. This moved quickly. I now have a referral to a back surgeon and an appointment next Wednesday with him. I've got the usual 12 pages of paperwork to fill out, and I've got to bring my MRI and CT Myelogram discs with me to the appointment. I don't know where my paperwork for the discs is, but I think they have a readout of the CT Myelogram. The 1/1/1/2 experiment worked, to some extent. I think I'll try it again, just to see what happens when Mrs. Prof doesn't turn the TV off this time. -

Changing Medications (Level of Trust Required) (Content TV-MA)
ProfessorTomoe replied to ProfessorTomoe's topic in Off Topic Discussion
4:30 a.m. CST 20171106. This Dilaudid is screwing with my sleep schedule, and the change to CST hasn't helped. Case in point: I'm drinking the last of my 2005 pu erh sample to try and calm down while I back up my music writing system in the background. I took my 4am dose of Dilaudid and haven't fallen asleep from it yet. Go figure. I might do the 1/1/1/2 experiment tonight, just so I can sleep through the night. -

5:14 p.m. CST 20171105. Happy Daylight Standard Time day. For the first time in two weeks, I was able to take a standard hot shower without worrying about electronics, spinal cord implants, or leftover bandages. No more sponge baths! Yay! One thing I won't be doing again is experimenting with my Dilaudid dosage. Yesterday was a rather sore day, so I tried the 5x-a-day dosage. I'm still doing 4am/10am/4pm/10pm, but I took an extra pill with my 4am dose. That pretty much left me useless until noon. Yep—won't be doing that again. If I do 5x-a-day, I'll consider doing the extra with my 10pm dose. -

She feeds enough at night to compensate for raccoons, possums, and other scavengers who claim their share. Actually, B is starting to put on some weight. He was overly thin for the longest time. -

We finally got Loudmouth to join us on the sofa: Mrs. Prof just loves the stripes in his fur.

Loudmouth took the opportunity to relax tonight: He deserved it. I scared him out of the litterbox a couple of times today. Poor cat.

ProfessorTomoe replied to ProfessorTomoe's topic in Off Topic Discussion
4:53 p.m. CDT 20171103. I no longer have the wires in my back. The medical person (not sure who he was - another doctor? Nurse practitioner?) and the Nevro rep agreed that I hadn't had enough relief overall from the device to justify surgery to implant the stimulator unit inside me permanently, even with yesterday's goof-up. He rather quickly yanked the wires out and showed them to me—about 8 inches of blue wire with several exposed electrodes on each. Left me dizzy for almost an hour afterward. Even now, my equilibrium is a bit lacking. 5:06 p.m. - I took my first Dilaudid a hour ago. Didn't help my equilibrium. Helped my pain, although not immediately. It's working now, but it's giving me some side effects I'm going to have to get used to. I'm a bit cross-eyed, although nowhere near as bad as with the demon Lyrica (Lord help me, no). Got a bit of a headache, but I think that could be related to having the spaghetti yanked out of my spine. -

You were right. It didn't affect the test. -
Baker's not the smartest cat on Earth. Give him a toy puzzle with treats in it so he has to work to get the treats out? Oh, he figures out how to get the treats, sure enough. The only problem is that he figures it out so many times that he barfs up the excess treats. Stupid cat.

10:50 a.m. CDT 20171103. My wires come out in about three hours. I've been remembering to take my hydrocodone today, and frankly, the pain has been worse with the hydrocodone. I know I had some serum level drug floating around in my system yesterday, so maybe the results aren't so different. I'm worrying for no good reason, maybe. Mrs. Prof had to cancel her appointment with I.T. to drive me. My son came down sick and is at one of those CareNow Urgent Care Clinics with a fever and congestion. Probably caught the flu. -

ProfessorTomoe replied to ProfessorTomoe's topic in Off Topic Discussion
I think I've [expletive deleted] up the test. I just realized that I haven't taken my 10 a.m. or 4 p.m. hydrocodone doses. What does that say about the relief factor from the electrodes? I mean, what does it really say??? And why didn't I go into withdrawal? I've changed a variable. How do we account for it? -

ARRGH. I got my syntax wrong. The label does say "1 to 2 tablets by mouth 3 times a day." That'd be the maximum of 180. I do too. I can't drive while on them. That's why I went under the knife and had two electric leads shoved up my spine. -

ProfessorTomoe replied to Stature's topic in EGS Sketchbook Discussion
I think the issue might be the "sauciness" of the pose. We've always seen Rhoda as sort of meek, very cute, and always nice. This is Rhoda taking the cookie and crossing over to the dark side. That's why I voted against her being a foe to Sarah. I just don't see her going mad with power. -

My Dilaudid arrived in the mail today. Mrs. Prof signed for it on the most complicated-looking pad I've ever seen the USPS use. It's 4mg, 150 tablets for 30 days. That works out to 5 tablets a day, but the prescription says, "1 to 2 tablets per day." Looks like I'm stuck in another one of these situations where I'd be screwed if I took 2 for the entire 30 days, because I'd run out early ((2 pills x 3 daily doses) x 30 days = 180 pills). I'm bringing the prescription with me to the appointment tomorrow to ask what the hell is going on. Spine Team Texas did this. I didn't expect it from my current doctor. He's supposed to be a high class professional. -
