I went to see the Immunologist
after work and before heading off to gather up
the Daughter Bird from College.
The fire ant antigen tests came back negative
(which is excellent because there would have been all
kinds of SHOTS involved if it had been positive....glad I didn't
know that or I would have worried a lot more!)
which means it was a neurotoxin of unknown
origin, but most likely a SPIDER.
I talked to him about the level of pain I am in
(mostly excruciating all.the.time.)
and he said that was to be expected with
Nerve Damage.
There is some chance this may be chronic
and permanent
but I am not focusing on that.
Either way, he upped my meds and added a next
level Pain medication to be taken four times a day
for severe pain due to neuropathy.
oh, and I can work MORE hours
starting Monday because I should be
so looped (excuse me, Pain Free)
that I won't really notice my arm at all,
prolly.
I have my Daughter Bird safely in my nest,
and plans are being hatched for all of the Baking
she intends to do beginning today,
and of course these guys:
To demonstrate the proper Extreme Napping Techniques.
This afternoon, after work,
We'll pick up the Boybird and begin
the giving of Thanks!
