Wish me luck tomorrow
Just a bit nervous for tomorrow. Having a ablation done on my neck 2 levels both sides. Just got a call from the surgery center telling me the Dr. who puts me out will not be their some other Dr. will. You get used to the same one at least I do. One time I had this lady and she was not very kind asking me in recovery why people like me need meds for this type of injections. Jerk 
Well, had this done for my lower back and it worked well hoping it works as well for my neck. THis is the end for me. Nuro Dr. is setting up a appt for a spinal cord stimulator which I heard is not to much fun getting. Hope this ablation works and I do not have to get that. One thing is for sure no more injections.

ellin- good luck tomorrow. The person
who asked you why people like you need meds for these kind of injections obviously never had one. Maybe one day they will get the opportunity to find out.
