Well i tried ketamine again in a new chair this time. This chair was the same chair i was in back in August when it was more successful I know it sounds crazy that a chair would make a difference, but the chair i was in the past two sets of three was so uncomfortable that i would come in with say a 6/10 pain and a half hour in, before the ketamine even came, just from sitting in the chair, my pain would be at least at a 8/10, and that doesn't happen when i sit at home, at least not in a comfy chair. My doctor kinda made fun of me though- he said about a half hour in when i was of course very loopy, so this is your chair should we mark your initials in the back of it or how about putting a flag on it to mark it as yours? Of course he had a smile on his face the whole time. I think he was just trying to get me to laugh. I was too loopy and out of it to laugh, but i did smile and say "Yep".
I left feeling pretty good, i took a shower because i needed one and its a good idea for me to shower when i'm in less pain. I have for the most part learned not to procrastinate on showers as much because if i wait, the pain will just get worse, thus making showers tougher and more painful. This led to a small spike in pain, but not too bad, especially considering the spike i normally get from a shower.
Today is an election in my town for a referendeom over more land with a tax increase (vote yes or no), my mom really wanted me to vote, and she has raised me and taught me the importance of voting even in elections that i feel do not directly impact me. Yes i don't pay taxes, but my parents do. Annoying thing was it involved walking across the street in the cold (at least the polling place was across the street at the elementary school art room), and standing in a huge line. I didn't expect such a huge turnout. And the machine didn't work right away, i had to push my vote ten times for it to show a green mark before i could hit record vote. It was kinda a trip down memory lane because we were in the art room of my elementary school, and apparently the same art teacher that i had in fifth grade (probably the third art teacher in that school i had), is still the art teacher now, cause i saw cards on the wall for her while i was waiting in line.
Tomorrow I start at Rutgers Camden. I have precalculus from 9:05-10:00 and then a break until 1:20-2:40 when i have object oriented programming and then i'm finished for the day. my dad's driving me in and i will get there at approximately 8 AM. Yes that's early, but at least its a ride versus the train. I will take the train home.
On Thursday i have more ketamine and on Friday i have preacalculus and a second meeting with my new counselor.
