    ***The Edema Chronicles for May 20, 2023

    Today's weight, taken at around 6:30 a.m., was 324 lbs.

    Sorry for the skip. I had a "colonoscopy." By "", I mean that the purge for it went horribly, horribly wrong, and the colonoscopy didn't take place. I was unable to take my Bumex water pill, so my swelling got out of control and my weight shot up to 329 lbs. I'm slowly on the way back down.

    Keep forcing fluids other than tea. Pedialyte is good.

    Well, they did not admit me to the hospital. They responded with a "What are we supposed to do???" attitude toward me, even when I told them that two doctors (orthopedist and pain management) told me to go to the ER if things got worse after their procedures. I did get a little bit of pain relief, though, in the form of some IV Dilaudid, IV muscle relaxant, and a pill for pain relief. I also got a referral to a new orthopedist, so we'll see how that pans out.

    It looks like I'm going to be paying the hospital a visit today. I've had pain building in my upper right arm since early last week. It's got to the point where anything I lift-even the arm itself-gives me a 9 to 9.5 pain on the 0-to-10 pain scale. My pain pills are doing nothing for me. I'm suffering.

    I went to my pain management doctor's office on Monday, and they recommended that I go to the ER if it got any worse.  I've tried to hold out, but last night my wife suggested I go ahead and go in after we get dressed and ready Wednesday morning.

    I have no clue if they'll admit me, or even if they'll give me additional pain medicine. The only way to find out is to go. I'll update you as soon as I can.

    I am experiencing severe pain and unexplained swelling in my upper right arm, just below my right shoulder. This is below the area of the right rotator cuff. I've been trying to get in touch with my pain management specialist to see if it has anything to do with my Pain Block surgery that he did, but he has not called me back. The pain is severe, but mainly when I lift stuff - that is when I get level 9 pain. It's not bad enough to send me to the ER, so I don't know what to do now.

    I saw my doctor about an ear infection last Friday. My ear had actually been throbbing for about a week prior to me going in. He diagnosed me with a swollen eardrum and a swollen lymph gland in my neck, and gave me Augmentin to knock it out.

    Well, yesterday (Monday), I developed a nasty sore throat to go with it. I had a hard time trying to figure out what was causing it. In the end, I settled on post-nasal drip. Antihistamines have helped a little bit, but not much,

    The recording session for the Nu-metal version of my song "Stalker" by San Antonio group Agony went down last night, and I hear it went down well. I'm now waiting on receiving the stems and any other audio data that might come from the session so that I can do mixing and mastering of the final song. I'm really looking forward to working on it!

    The suprascapular nerve block seems to have been a massive waste of time. I'm hurting just as bad as I was before the procedure. I intend on calling the doctor and complaining loudly today. I will either get a "give it a little more time" response, or something else. I'm hoping for something else, as long as that something else isn't "we're terribly sorry, there isn't anything we can do about it."

    EDIT: Just spoke with the doctor's office and found out that what they told me at the surgical center was WRONG. It's not supposed to kick in within 24 hours, it's supposed to kick in within 2 WEEKS!!! Damned miscommunication. If they'd have told me this the first time, I wouldn't have been bitchy about it for the past week. Sheesh.

    I give up.

    Looks like there may be another round of Star Wars Rebellion between my son and myself this week, hopefully on Tuesday. I'll likely get another shot at playing the Empire. My son told me I wasn't aggressive enough last time - I should have instigated combat more often, done stuff like that. Let's see if I can pull that off.
