So yesterday I was expecting to get Botox in my abductors to help with my lower body spasms because they are starting to take a rough toll on my body. I'm getting a curve in my spine which is causing a possible pressure point on my left elbow. My feet are becoming contractured very badly which is interfering with getting a new chair. The spasticity has broken my hip, (there's no longer a ball on my femer and a socket,) dislocated my hip and cracked my pelvis too. I know that I use my spasticity to help me move but if I don't do something soon it's going to end up so bad that I'm going to have to have surgery multiple times to fix what the spasticity has broken.
I got to the doctors office at 12:30 but guess who went to lunch at 12? So the waiting room was starting to overflow by the time that the nurses got back from lunch. I'm like seriously schedule someone while you're at lunch? We were already mad by the time we got back into a room. Then the nurse asked what we were there for because she thought we were there as a follow up. Needless to say that the doctors office had no idea we were there to get Botox.
I also learned that if I want Botox I'll have to pay $400 every three to four months and there's no way I can do that. That's $1,200 a year and I can't do that!

The doctor asked if I had ever done the baclofen pump trail and I said no. He was like if you want to do the trail you'll have to go to Lafayette or Baton Rouge. Great I'm going to have to travel two to three hours to do it. If I'm going to do the pump I have to go to New Orleans! I'll have to travel so damn far. Grr that sucks but I'm going to have to do something. The doctor put me on 200 mg of gabapentin three times a day to see if that will help my spasticity. I'll let y'all know!
