"I'm going out, boys."

I had my second injection this afternoon. It was much better today than the first time. I had a different doctor who was much more interested in me as a person and very willing to explain everything.

I still don't remember the procedure (only vaguely of the sticking of a needle in my back, but that could have been the local). I know that when I first got the anesthesia I said, "I'm going out, boys."

Then later I know I spoke in French but all I remember saying is (in apology) "Parfois, je parle français*."

I woke up from the sedation much faster, but it still took the same amount of time for me to be released.

I am supposed to have one more injection, two weeks hence. Then the doctor suggested we try an additional treatment that I can't quite remember because of the sedation. But I'll find out.

Anyway, much better today. I'm okay. And if my back hurts a lot they gave me vicodin.
