Surgery booked and an update.

[Guest guest]

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.
