Hello everyone,
Sorry that I have not updated the blog sooner, but I had a rough night and a rough morning. After the stem cell injection in the spine yesterday, I had a throbbing headache that almost made me throw up and soreness in my back. I was not doing well. That is why it has taken me so long to update this, but do not worry, I am still alive and doing much better this afternoon.
The stem cell injection procedure took about 20 minutes from the beginning to the end. The doctors first had to inject a local anesthetic to deaden the spot where they were going to inject the stem cells in my spine. Then after they did that, they injected the stem cells (which looked like a clear liquid). It took about 4-5 minutes to inject the stem cells in my body. After the procedure was done, I was able to go back to the hotel room. I was given strict instructions to lay flat on my back for 3-4 hours and drink about 4-5 regular size bottles of water. At about 9:00 last night is when things started to get a little hairy. My back started to get real sore and my head started hurting so bad to where I could not even move. It was not good. Needless to say, I am all better now.
I am uploading a video of the stem cell injection on Facebook right now. I am uploading it on Facebook because the video file is too big to publish on this blog. The link is to watch the video is: http://www.facebook.com/cassidyl1#!/video/video.php?v=412126038207&ref=mf. Or for people who do not have a Facebook can view it below.
Hope everyone doing is doing well and know that I truly miss everyone. I can't wait to be back in the states! I am counting down. See everyone soon.
Until next time, so long everybody!
