so it wasn't a good week for me. It started off rough with unusually, high pain levels, which led me to go back on stronger meds which work for pain but causes other issues such as not being able to eat. or keep food or water or pills down when you try. things spiraled from there. So in line with my previous post a few days into the week I had to call 911 and get taken via ambulance to the hospital. Not the first time I had such a ride but it was the first time I had to call it for myself since my diagnosis. I It was that bad. I am in and out of the ER often enough thatthey actually know me on sight. This time it was so bad I couldn't wait for a doc and I knew the paramedics would be able to help immediately, and they did. They were great. I figure I have the option to lessen the agony, right away so do it. I did and I was happy I did. went in got fixed up in the ER. felt better. Until.. the next day. It returned even stronger.

I cant even describe it. well they say on a scale of 1 to 1to 10 with 10being the worst pain you ever felt, I said twenty- one!
so second day in a row I called 911 and was given another ambulance ride. A big hunky fireman carried me to the gurneysince I couldn't really walk so well.anyway It was decided this time I would stay in the hospital for observation, and I totally agreed. Now I'm on a new med which so far has worked great.I'm home now and I'm feeling good. it is the weekend, and I look forward to a great week coming up. I hope your upcoming week is great too! Thanks as always for reading and all your
support.
I should mention that it is thought that pain levels may be high due to the current treatment working well. it's complicated but ogical... we should know more in a few weeks. I'll post more as I find out of course. One day I WILL return to form.


{On reflection I did have to call 911 once before when Xanthus and I were attacked by a dog, though that was mainly to get the police out to contain the animal. they sent paramedics as stanardproceedure,and I agreed to go with them so they could stop the bleeding right away. probably a good call on reflection. side note: rabies shots suck.}

Peace and love to you all, my friends EVO
