See that red dot in my cheek? Yup, that is where they stuck the needle. Right below my eye. Talk about a total freak out. Anyway - he basically injected lidocane (not sure how you spell it) into my face and then the entire right side of my face from my temple to my chin went completely numb. It was freaky. The numbness eventually wore off but now my cheek hurts where they injected me. I have problems with pain in my face as well as a very painful stabbing feeling in my ear. This injection would not help the ear pain, I would have to get a deeper injection that needs to be guided with ultrasound. They are talking about a few weeks before I can do that one. For some reason the pain in my ear and my teeth kind of skyrocketed. I thought I was going to die. Of course my hubby is out for the evening and I have to take care of my two little ones. Even as I type this I am in agony. It is that bad. Tomorrow I have a run and I'm not sure how I'm going to pull it off. I did manage to get my workout in today. Thankfully the pain didn't start until after that. Please cross your fingers that I miraculously wake up pain free.
I did eat a few things I wasn't supposed to eat, but points wise I'm still completely fine. I still have like 40 weekly points left and I have not even touched my exercise points. I'm not too worried. I've noticed that high pain days tend to equal crappy eating days. Oh and this morning I made some turkey bacon to go in my egg sandwich and after a few bites I realized that the turkey bacon had turned. UCK. I had a stomach ache for most of the day after that!
All in all it's been a freaking AWFUL pain day. AWFUL. I'm going to call it a night here but I am NOT giving in. This stupid disorder is NOT going to win. I'm going to do that run tomorrow even if it kills me!
Have a wonderful night! Thanks for reading! -Monica
