This is outrageous. I'm on Abilify now instead of Risperdal, and Abilify costs $22.85 a pill. Next time, I'm just going straight to my doctor and asking for samples, because this is just insane.

I overdid it yesterday.

I tried to work my knee with a little off-crutch walking (a friend of my mom's lent her daughter's crutches for me to use) and boy was that stupid. The best way I can describe this kind of pain is... Well, imagine that the bones in your leg were replaced with molten lava that gets hotter at random intervals and you'll have ( Read more... )

Fucking OW! Yeah, I took some codeine, but Jesus Christ... PRP is pretty much the same as prolotherapy except they use my plasma (so I have to get a huge syringe of blood drawn). Multiple injections of thicker fluid in my knee means more pain.

So much more pain.

I keep reminding myself that this is going to be worth it by the end.

Wembley, my green-cheeked conure, decided to fly outside just a few minutes ago. He took off for the woods and I freaked right the hell out. I called my mom (she and my dad are with my sister in Indiana) and she said "if he's gone, he's gone." She said it wasn't the end of the world, but, Jesus, I feel like shit.

Right now I'm sitting on the deck ( Read more... )

Well... It's the fourth day since I got stabbed with some needles. It still hurts. I would much rather get another tattoo than deal with this right now.

My knee after prolotherapy, day 2.

It’s the swollen one with all the needle marks on it (on my left-the right side of the photo). Still getting the random sensation of getting the dextrose/anesthetic injection behind my kneecap. Thank God for codeine.

I was allowed to take the bandage off today. There are nine marks where the doctor gave me injections. The biggest one is from the needle that went under my kneecap. It hurts a lot like he said it would, but he gave me codeine, which I took this morning, and it's fading a little. It took me forever to fall asleep-it was almost 6AM before the ( Read more... )

That hurt.

A lot.

I got one needle for behind my kneecap (holy shitballs that was awful) and about seven or eight injections around my knee. Do you know what happens when there's a huge needle in your leg like that? My leg kept jerking like it was trying to start running and I could actually feel the metal on the syringe as it scraped my bone ( Read more... )

You know how I spent two days as a passenger in the back seat of my dad's extended cab Tacoma (the smaller extended cab with the suicide door)?

Yeah.

My knee is twice the size it normally is.

Fuuuuuuun.
