Cryoanalgesia

It’s 12:55 PM and I’m forcing myself to sit and write. I have a very bad case of “writer’s block” and can’t seem to sit or concentrate long enough to post/write.

As of today, I’ve had nerves frozen (cryoanalgesia) in three places (T9, T10 and T11) and on July 2 I have a procedure scheduled in which the doctor will use some sort of “laser” on the affected area. The process was explained to me, but, of course, I wasn’t paying enough attention and forgot. My painĀ seems to have gone down by about 30%. Some nights it’s gone completely, but those are far and few between.

I’m also taking Neurontin three times a day, but I don’t think it’s helping. Again, I’m sorry for the lack of updates; bear with me!
