Took Brokeback to the doctor this morning for his first "pain management" shots in the back. My mother was kind enough to come and watch the kids til 8:30 and go to work a little late, until our precious babysitter Lindsey came over.
The wait prior to the appointment was very nerve wracking. Got there 30 mins early and Ron was called back 30 mins late. The waiting room was FULL of patients and their drivers.
Took an hour and a half after he went back. They gave him an IV to numb the pain, I guess. I don't think it helped much. The shot was quick. Went through his back to his pelvis.
He is in a great deal of pain right now and is asleep. I will update later on whether it actually worked or not. Please pray that it did!
Thank you so much for all of the information and referrals everyone provided. We did not wait to go through the VA. We went back to Dr. McCarty and he was able to get Brokeback into the pain management doctor the two days later. He has an appointment with the neurosurgeon Janurary 12th.
