Day 100: Spinal injections

Hi again,
This post is for yesterday. For this post I am thankful for spinal injections because I got one and while it was  painful to get, it has helped a fair bit with the level of pain I have been experiencing. It's actually kind of neat that this post is on day 100. 100 is a special number. lol It turned into quite an ordeal though because I started to pass out and I think I did pass out briefly. I was sitting when I got the injection in my back and I started getting queasy and then basically passed out as I was trying to lay down to keep from passing out. It is kind of funny looking back because I heard my specialist say "I'm going to get a..." and that was all and I was struggling to stay conscious (his voice was muffled because I was passing out) but why I thought I could stop it is funny... yet none the less I tried. :) lol I have passed out before while getting needles so I should have known better to lay down when getting the injection. Anyways it was quite unpleasent to get and I had to stay for at least 1/2hr before the nurse person would let me go because I was apparently so pale. So much for in and out. lol But it seems as though the pain has decreased significantly in the area in my back that has been getting steadily worse the past few months. It has kept me down so much the past couple of months. It isn't completely better but at least now the level of pain is down low enough that I can continue with my recovery which basically halted with this extra pain. It has been so depressing so my mood definitely went up today that I could move around more. So despite a bit of an ordeal I am thankful for it because I am in a lot less pain today and I hope it lasts awhile. So for this post I am thankful for the injection. :)
