Post Biopsy

For those reading. I had the the temporal artery biopsy done on Friday. I thought I handled it like a champ. Saturday rested all day and went out to celebrate my fiance birthday . I had 2 drinks,  queasy stomach,  and harsh headache. I remained cheerful as long as I could, after 2 hours I walked out of club without telling anyone how I felt or that I was leaving.  I made it home,  began to vomitt and passed out,  only to be awoken by my Chihuahua licking my face.  I should have not drank nor gone to the party but didn't want to let anyone down.  Poor choice on my behalf I will admit.

 

I didn't understand the effect of prednisone and the anesthesia, trust me I'm paying the price.  I rested all day yesterday and woke up to throbbing, intense head pain. I keep massaging my head for relief with no results. I hurt.... I have been awake since the crack of dawn, to my understanding the prednisone is supposed to reduce the inflammation and aleviate some swelling.  It's been almost 10 days and all feels worse. I beg and pray for relief and answers soon. I am told to be "Stress Free" & my BFF tells me "Uhm HELLO; Do they NOT know you"? I live a carefree life; meaning I don't give a rat's ass of anyone's opinion or judgement of me or their negative energy & ways. So what the hell am I stressing about other than normal daily life? Finances & Family. Oh well, whatever I keep trying to relax but physically can't take it anymore. My HEAD feels like it's going to explode. I try not to be on the computer, read or watch television as much; since I can't wear my glasses because they overlap over my stitches. UGH!!!  All these pain meds they give you after surgery are completely HORRID!! Who the hell can function on Vicodin, Narco, Percocet, Oxycotin? BULLSHIT drug addicts that's who. I hate feeling dopey... point blank. Ibuprofen or Naproxen is all I can do.

Yes I am aggravated, Yes I am in pain, Yes I will continue to go to work and Yes I will do my best to be strong but remember everyone I am human & do hurt. It's ok to cry..

 

I just want to say thank you to my fiance and co workers for all your support through this all.  I can only hope all this will be over very soon.  I will post results as soon as I receive them, till then I will hang n there and keep fighting whatever is attacking my body.. . Thanks for reading & listening.
