epidural
Danielle you will be delighted to know that it was an epidural I got today at the Pain Clinic (well, it was a special kind).
Seriously, it wasn't as bad as imagination makes it out to be. I actually passed out from the anesthesia so I don't remember the procedure at all.
I remember speaking a lot. I said "indeed" several times. I remember speaking in French a little. Mainly I remember praying to God (when I woke up a little bit later) and thanking Him for staying with me and for how good He is. It's nice to know that even under the drugs I still remembered to thank Him. And finally, I thought of some songs. No singing out loud (I hope) but I was thinking about music.
Now though I just have a stiff back and a warm foot. But if all goes well, this will help with my symptoms.
Thanks for your prayers.
