I hope your surgery goes well Jenn. I remember how excited I was waiting to

have my HM so I could eat. Sadly, I am still waiting!

Got that magical phone call yesterday. Surgery for my HM is scheduled for

April 10th. I did a dance of joy. I just need to survive the next few

weeks.

Also saw my GP yesterday regarding spasms. I am starting diltiazem hcl

120mg daily today to see if it will help any. I didn't want any oral pain

meds as i find them quite nauseating. We agreed that for the short term

duration of two weeks that the current plan for hydration and uncontrolled

spasms can stay in place. I ended up paying the ER another visit last night

but I feel so good this morning being hydrated. It's nice to pee more than

once a day.

So my current plan is the diltiazem, stop the nitro spray, ativan to try if

spasms are bad to see if I can try to settle them (and myself lol),

ondansetron for my morning retching spells and surgery in under 2 weeks. I

feel like I can do this now because the light is shining bright at the end

of the tunnel. Just need to keep an eye on my BP, and push forward.

Day 2 of Diltiazem. Took some zofran this am and am staying in bed. BP is

lower this am. 108/60. No spasms yet. Called in sick to work last night as

I was dizzy and my stbx was ranting and had me in spasms. Low key is the

word until the 10th. Gym membership on hold and only 3 more 12 hr shifts at

work.
