@merpreb I asked the neurologist why I was not a good candidate for a pain block. He slammed my chart shut and told me because “ I said so”! I have since learned he has retired. More ensued after that as he had also told me prior to his outburst I had had several mini strokes. There is no record of this at the
hospital I have since discovered. Maybe had the wrong patient. There is more to this adventure which would take a long time to tell in a way that would make sense. That was at a time when someone else was advocating for me. It was a mess and a chapter of my life I am still recovering from-stuff happens and I learned from it. Not wallowing in self pity rather endeavoring to get some confidence back as well as learning to trust again. Things are improving. Being hyper vigilant most of the time is exhausting. Again, is what it is. I am not one to give up. I do use caution though. I shop where employees are familiar with me so if I need help I can get it. I can feel safe when I shop there. Off topic again.
