CKRS Report Part III - Postoperative Day 11 -Report #1

          I seemed to have missed the 4:30-5:00 am visit, but woke up around 7:45 with around a K4, rolled around in bed and fell back asleep. Did not use anything to abort. Did sleep until around 2:00 pm, though. Woke up with a shadow, took some Lortab, that ended the shadow. Having another shadow as I write this, but it's not that bad.
        Also, I have not noticed much of a change in facial sensation, but something does seem to be happening in that regard, albeit sleight.
        It does seem that things are starting to improve with the CH - (keeping my fingers crossed for good luck).

CKRS Report Part III - Postoperative Day 12

      Had an attack sometime in the morning - about the same as the previous day, no abortive, rolled around, fell back asleep, woke up around 3pm. Other than that, I have had real minor shadows, around a K2, I'd say. Don't want to jinx it, but I do think that things are starting to really improve. 
    My face feels about the same as the last report, only a very slight decline in sensation. Not numb, just a little bit less sensitive.

Good to hear Neal!

Keep the reports coming!

Hope You get to the PF place you want to be soon!

Peace,
Boski

How's bout a charitable solution as was suggested in the thread you started and have so conveniently ignored.  Drop a dime on the site,  you'll feel better about yourself.

Don't worry, I will be donating before too long - been working looong hours lately in addition to having CH's the past few months - but where on ch.com do I donate? Forgive my ignorance, most of my time is spent on the message board lately. Or do you mean joining & donating to OUCH instead? Or can I do both? Thx.

CKRS Report Part III - Postoperative Day 14

     Well, woke up feeling fairly OK, until about 6:20 am when I got hit by a K7.5. 'trexed that f@&$er. Since the shot was from my older, expired stuff (going through the old stuff first), it took longer to work, maybe around 30 minutes.
      After that, was OK until around 2:30 or so, when I had a major shadow, around a K3.5. Has settled down since then, but remained fairly constant up until around 9:00 pm or so.
      So I guess the fat lady hasn't sung yet! Oh well, only time will tell.
       Neurosurgeon's office called today, I have a follow-up visit Monday. We'll see what he has to say. Hopefully I will be PF by then? I'll let y'all know what he says.

Come on!  He knows how guys! 

Is that what got you to push the button?  Really!

Grow to the shoe size!  Ok I'm at my 11 1/2!
150mg Dope-o-max    

But Really!

Peace,

Hey Brew:
How you doing?  Hope you and yours are well.

It's part Dope-o-max part bad humor!!!!!!
11 1/2 is my shoe size! Trying to get the guys to lighten up on poor old Neal. 

Where did I blow it at the start?  That is the place I start to
blow it most of the time so I'm told!!!!


If I said something offensive and I just don't see it please
do enlighten me.  Like I have mentioned I am Doppy-to-the
-max and quite sleepless the last few months.  So, Smack
me down if I did or said something way off base. I will
delete or edited it ASAP! 

Peace to you all,

Boski

Nothing of the sort. I just had no clue what you were talking about.

CKRS Report Part III - Postoperative Day 15

      @&$#%!
      Had an early am CH, around a K7.5. Wondering if the brief respite from full-blown CH's, and then a return of them a short while later, is related to the stupid medrol (a corticosteroid) they gave me to take for any swelling that may have occurred  as a result of the CKRS procedure? Before my neurologist stopped giving me Prednisone tapers on account of the risk of avascular necrosis of the hip joint a number of years ago, that's about how the prednisone (another corticosteroid) would generally treat me, i.e., a short period of relief from The Beast and then a return.   
      Then got to to go to the dentist for part 2 of the 3-part root canal before work (build up & crown impression). Was a lot better than part 1. No pain, the novocaine worked as it should this time. The infection must be pretty much cleared up.
      After that, I generally had a pretty good day CH-wise at work, only a K3 shadow around 4 pm or so. Was so busy it was pretty easy to ignore, thank God.
