Greetings my fine furred guinea pig followers !
First I want to give a quick apology for my post in the Horizon Zero Dawn thread yesterday and while i don't regret the meaning of my words it could have been put a little bit more eloquently. I was very much stressing about the small operation that i went through today. Which brings me on to the warnings.
So today underwent a nerve block delivered by a guided injection into my nerves in my neck and the space where the disc lays. I actually had one of these along long time ago now or so it seems atleast and completely forgot what it was like. Initially once the right nerve had been find (and the needle was still in there it felt like the hole upper left side of my back and shoulder and throbbing and on fire, not just on fire but it felt like it was a supernova exploding there. Once the agents were injected it soon calmed down and my arm turned to ice and was pretty much numb for the next 8 hours. Trying to use my left arm was pretty much like playing surgery simulator I just had the broad strokes of moment and my arm felt lighter that it actually was so fun was had by all ... specially trying to pick up my ticket on the bus ... i missed twice ... but for now at least that has faded and has been replaced by the mother of all headaches.
This is probably going to be cycling for the next couple of weeks while my body adjusts to the nerve block, So I am probably going to be just slightly more grumpy and antagonistic but I will do my best to try and keep this to an absolute minimum.
But it is a bit of a relief to not have them all at once ... altho the numbness has been quite a while now as i found a moderate dose of Naproxen seemed to keep it at bay.
Anyway if you have any questions or comments as usual i will do my best to try and answer them
Next blog I'm kinda torn on what do do ... I'm tempted to finish the birth of the Amiga or do something about an old UK children's TV show or maybe it will just be something completely different
