The Day After

Today is the day after the procedure, rhizotomy, that was done yesterday. And right now as can be expected my pain is worse. The muscle pain can be worse for up to 2 weeks thanks to the trauma of the procedure.

Bending, moving, lifting are all problematic. I have slept the majority of the day and am planning on resting/sleeping the majority of the day tomorrow. I am just trying to stay with my pain so it does not get out of control.

I got the bill for the right side today and it was just over 11k. with my estimated portion being 0 since it was done at an in network preffered provider. Got to love insurance even with the hoops that you have to jump through to make the insurance company happy.

I am currently in limbo with regards to my ears, have to wait until I have another raging ear infection so the ENT can see it for his own eyes and make the decision as to if I would benefit from tubes. He doesnt want to treat me like a guinea pig but I am not so thrilled about having to wait for yet another ear infection.
