Nerve Block Part 3

Yesterday I went to see Dr. Gupta, neurologist/pain specialist, for another nerve block for my Occipital Neuralgia.
You can read how this started here, about nerve block #1 here, and nerve block #2 here & here.
(I was thinking that yesterday would've been nerve block #4...but I stand corrected...it was my third)
...Yes, it's been a crazy year!
Nerve block #3 seems to have gone well. I had lots of pain yesterday at the injection site (my head) and spent the day resting with cold packs on my head....f-u-n, NOT!
I slept well last night and I have moderate pain today at the injection site. I always overdo myself the day after the nerve block so I'm going to TRY to remember today to continue to take it easy!
I have a follow up appointment in two weeks to make sure that the swelling is gone and there is no infection.
Thanks for your continued prayers!
...Enjoy the (not so nice) pics...


Immediately after injection...icing at the doctors office


So tired & so much pain...still icing!

Feeling restless so I started on some activities for my kiddos!
