I hope I am not speaking prematurely but today seems to be a great day. I was treated to a nice seafood dinner at Shuckers last night for which I am very appreciate. Who can resist a nice pile of fried oysters, fried clam strips, fried okra, and coleslaw with a nice cold coke? We then ate some strawberry shortcake when we got home with the cake and fresh stawberries that were provided to use yesterday.
So I woke up this morning fearful that the headache would return since I had changed medicines. It was very difficult to wake up but up until this point I still have had no headache, vision troubles, dizziness, or nausea today. I did start to feel a little warm about an hour ago but put the fan on and felt better within 5 minutes. I am still going to take it easy and not overdo it to make sure I continue to feel good. Adri also told me earlier today that the incision looks much better even only 15 hours after the stitches were removed.
She has gone to lunch with a coworker and it sounds as if I will benefit. She is going to bring me back my favorite dish from Macaroni Grill (Penne Rustica) when she returns.
Another miracle happened today. The neurosurgeon’s PA called me! Imagine that, I didn’t even have to call and pester them. Things are starting to look up! It was lucky they called me also because Adri had talked to someone this morning and they told her that they couldn’t call the new prescription into the pharmacy and so they were going to fed-ex it overnight. I was worried at this point because this is the same thing I was told about my medicines early this weekend and they never did the fed-ex. So luckily he called and I had the opportunity to ask what the name of the new medicine is. The medicine I mentioned yesterday that has the caffeine with a low dose of narcotic is Fioricet. I don’t even remember the original reason for his call but when I mentioned my wife had spoken with somebody this morning and that they were going to fed-ex the medicine because they couldn’t call it in he began checking my file and after a minute said I don’t see a note about that. He said it is difficult with this medicine because it does have a narcotic in it but the dose is low. So he got the Target pharmacy number from me to check if he was allowed to call it in. He called me back about 10 minutes later and said he was able to call the medicine in but he wasn’t sure how long it would be before it was filled because they were all at lunch. As long as I can pick it up today I don’t care how long a lunch break they want to take!
