Life and Things

This has been one rough week. Monday was my transjugular liver biopsy. I was put under general anesthesia since medications that can make me drowsy are likely to trigger myoclonic spasms. I still woke from it well. Within 15 mins of finishing the procedure I was awake and clear-headed. Unfortunately, I didn’t shake off the nausea side effect. It’s Friday now, and I still have it flare up sometimes (like right now, atm), but the worst finally broke in the early hours of Friday morning. Before that, I couldn’t stand long, and I couldn’t eat much. I lost several pounds I’m sure I’ll gain back… Along with nausea, I kept getting cold sweats, or feeling very overheated. It was my 2nd eye surgery that broke my internal thermostat, making it so I get overheated easy and it’s difficult to cool down. I’m mildly worried this procedure has further compromised its functioning. Yay?

On Tuesday, I had a twilight sleep sedation and another tooth removed. The dental surgeon was kind enough to give me an injection of zofran- the tablet med I’m taking for the nausea. But I did get a really cool potato chip x-ray!

While I read this week, not much else got done. Hoping to get caught up. It’ll take a lot of time and energy though! I tried getting chores done this morning and got overheated and exhausted. Ended up taking a freezing shower, which helped some.
