Oh, Steph. I'm glad you were in and out of there quickly. Hang in there.

Words that should never be uttered while quilting: "Mom, is it just me, or does this look like a swastika?"

ETA: It has since then ceased to exist in that form (actually, it didn't make it two minutes in that form), but boy was I mortified when I got it all ironed and took a good look at it.

Glad the pain is receding, Steph.

I'm glad you are feeling better Tep!

Is anybody else really tempted to Google "nazi quilt design" now? No? Just me? Oh well, we all knew I'm a little off.

Teppy, I'm glad that you got some relief. I hope those muscles do chill the fuck out and get over their trauma.

I've actually seen swastika quilts before, mostly from the 1920s or earlier, when it was considered a good luck symbol. [link] I also remember once seeing a photo of Jackie Kennedy as a little kid, wearing an outfit decorated with swastikas. edit: [link]

Teppy, I'm glad they could lessen the pain for you. I hope the full relief comes soon.

o_a, the pain relief isn't what I'd hoped for, but this is a diagnostic procedure as well as one to provide relief. So something should be deducible (deductable???) from the results either way.

Just not looking up or down without torso motion (moving my eyes to the edge of their range hurts my haid, stupidly enough).

Tep, here's to the dilaudid knocking you out the right way.

Good god, my ass BURNS at the injection site. That's an odd feeling.

But better than agonizing pain, so I call it a win.

I remember shocking the nurse when I had back surgery because I was debating between the pain of the shot and the pain from the surgery.

The morphine from the pump gave me the itchies, and so they pumped in liquid Benadryl which I could FEEL going in, and god that was bizarro.
