Wish people had told me it was as easy as a spinal (not that, THAT'S a lot of fun), but it's no big deal. Anticipating it was going to to be a lot worse, I waisted a ½ an ambien, expecting a lot of probing around with "which hurts worse, this or that?". Actually there were very few times that I cried out in pain. Next time, week from Wednesday I'm not going to worry about additional medication. Had a new med tech assisting this time (previous one found a job closer to home - yeah Ashley!). This one started off by explaining to me she was going to pull up my shirt and then pull down my pants so she could "bathe" me, "how did that sound",  in her best professional nurse voice? I told her it sounded like a first date! Consider the ice broken. Things went on fine from there on, with no further silly solicitations. I can't wait for our next date, a week from Wednesday. Will keep you posted. 🐨
