Numb

I had a Lumbar Sympathetic Nerve Block yesterday. How was it? Weird. For about four hours I was a total paraplegic...couldn't feel or move anything from the waste down. Apparently the numbness was only supposed to last about half an hour...four hours later... They said I would be ready to leave by 10 am...3:30 is more like it. Yesterday was weird...ketamine is trippy and epidurals are really quite painful.

I guess it is just another experience right? I think I have to do it again to...I don't really want to...it wasn't really fun...or nice...but if it helps the pain then I guess it is worth it.
