Now that I have had a chance to digest yesterday...
Transportation said it was on the way. We had a live map showing where he was. Then it said he arrived but the map showed 10 minutes away. So we went outside and no car was here. We looked at the map again and it said ride has started.
So I called my insurance company and got hung up on 3x. Then we called back and explained everything and the guy was super nice. He wasn't able to fix it but he elevated the call to 2nd level.
She was able to order us a new ride. It looked like we would be 15 minutes late so I called my doctor. The lady who answered the phone said "thank you for calling, this is Tina, can I put you on hold for a moment?" And I replied "of course Tina" and she recognized my voice and said "oh gosh who is this?" And I said "it's Nox, hi Hun". She got excited to hear me and she asked if something was wrong. I said we might be late and she said no worries she's got me.
When we showed up Tina said she checked me in already. She's so nice. So we sat and watched the TV in the waiting room for 10 minutes.
They called me back and took my vitals and I had to do a finger stick to check my BG. It was perfect. My BP was high but low enough for them. So I got taken back for the procedure.
I laid on a medical bed with a cutout for my head. I've been on it before for cortisone injections. So I exchanged pleasantries and laid on the bed. They strapped my legs in place. They explained I was gonna feel a cold spray, I did, then "big poke" which holy hell big poke! And they did it 6 times! I may have invented new ways to use the word fuck.
She said I did great. I count "did great" as didn't bite the nice doctor and her nurse. I really like my pain specialist. She's always happy to see me. And her nurse is super nice. She has a necklace with her grandmothers rings and cross.
Now it's been just over 26 hours after the injections and I don't feel much pain but every so often I get a sharp stabby pain in my left SI. This procedure, at most, will last 2 weeks. It's a test to see if the pain will respond to the nerve block.
