So the pain in my neck is back. Sorta. It’s more the nerves at the base of my scull and the muscles in my neck. The palliative dr has prescribed Gabapentin at my request. I started taking them last night and I think they’re working for the zinging pain at the base of my scull. Now to fix the muscles.

This time, with this pain, I’m pretty limited with what I can do. I can’t drive. Bending hurts so my kitchen is a mess. Hurts too much to empty the dishwasher but my sister will be here to do that. My house cleaner will be here Monday. And I’m getting pretty bored, not being able to bend my head without extreme pain.

I’m also scheduled for a bone scan Tuesday and apparently a CT scan was supposed to be scheduled just as soon but I haven’t heard anything on that yet. Both of which I was not expecting for a couple of months. These also include a phone visit with my oncologist on the 1st. I’m hoping there isn’t another trip to Victoria in my future.

And…one of the doctors doing the assessment for my M.A.I.D. application is going to be visiting me Wednesday. I was asked by someone how I felt about this. Oddly enough, I’m looking forward to it. I’m interested in what kind of questions she is going to ask.
