Had my 2nd day of Ketamine for week 2 2day and I'm beginning to get quite used to going to the hospital to get an infusion.
My outlook on the infusion has changed a little, I think I'm more hopeful and excited about the outcome and also not scared to go to the hospital as I now know what to expect. It's been really amazing for me meeting other people that have RSD, I'd always felt so alone, that no one could understand, but now I'm sitting in a room, daily, with other people that have RSD too and it feels good to be... normal... I guess that's not the right word, but they just know how it feels.
I've made good friends with Bob and Mary, 2 other patients that started at the same time as me and will finish at the same time as well. They make me laugh when we start becoming more conscious, as they too laugh at me when I'm acting "tipsy". Bob and Mary, and the nurses make the infusion tolerable, even funny at times. I must say it is hilarious when Bob/Mary are more out of it than me, so I understand my family and my new found friends finding me funny when I'm a..bit... out of it.
The ketamine is no longer making me feel sick, and though I'm still tired after the infusion, I prefer to stay awake and my spirits are very high with the progress.
I'm quite excited today because my hands are.. different. I thought they were normal before, but now everything I touch is so much different to how I remember. I'm having a lot of fun playing with my hands, it's more exciting than you could think!!! and I thought that they were normal... haha so I'm looking forward to the next coming days hoping the pain in my foot will subside a little.
I can't wait to get home
All my love
