ketamine days 1 and 2


So today and yesterday i got IV ketamine for my RSD/CRPS, and i still have one day left tomorrow. Yesterday i arrived, and they had me registered and all, but they had no official orders/script for my ketamine, so they had to call my doctor (one of his colleagues was covering the hospital those days, he was at a satellite office, and he faxed the orders. Then i had to wait for pharmacy to mix the ketamine. after my treatement, i was being transported in  wheelchair to the lobby and outside to my dad's car by a volunteer and they had dogs in the lobby everywhere. It must have been some kind of dog therapy session for the holidays. One big dog came right up to my wheelchair and let me pet him, he was so cute!
Yesterday i was so tired, i slept most of the day and night. This morning i slept for at least an hour or two of  my treatment, which normally i sleep 20 mins max of the treatment. I was just that tired. There were lots of people getting blood transfuisons today, and they are allowed to eat, and the lady next to me had a cheesteak sandwhich at 11:30 with fries that smelled so good, and i wanted to eat so badly. I didn't finish till 12:45 and then i didn't get into my dads car till 1:20 because transport took forever to get a wheelchair up for me. 

I'm very tired. My RSD pain is for sure less. Its at about between a 2/10 to a 6/10 usually at about a 4-5/10.
