Can you believe after a 45 minute MRI brain then a break another 20 minute MRI brain with contrast, then the LP and Dr says I will try not making promises. Difficult when you on cortisone. Really sweet Dr speaks me through the whole process and can't access fluid, but he touched a nerve and I had two shocks down my left leg. He decided we best abort. Now I am lying here and we going for round two in the morning with an Anaesthetist. So local is working off and I am going to take my oxy's and night meds. The only thing each time someone moves near me, sleeping pills or not I am wide awake. Night ops sucks, it's like buzzing bees around one every few hours. But I love the staff at my hospital, from the Cleaning staff to the Nurses and Drs. They make me feel so welcome and special. I might not be in the same ward each time, but they will always pop their heads in for a quick hello, hugs with broad smiles. Not the ideal way to spend World Lupus Day, but the concern and love I received after they heard the LP was not a success, is making me lying here with a big Cheshire Cat Smile. Of course my visit from Roy my husband and my daughter Hannah, who had just finished at hockey match less than 1km away and they drew the match against a school known for having tough girls. Her happy face made my day and that Roy sat with me all day (working of course ) and he got to watch H play hockey as a bonus at 5pm. Missing my son Lance though but he lives in the Southern Suburbs and has started a part time job while studying, so virtual hugs will have to do. Happy family - Happy Mother!!!!
