Janet, I'm glad you will see the injection doctor tomorrow. If he agrees that injections may help you, I think it needs to start right away, since you've finished the prednisone.
They usually don't do the injection the same day as it is normally done in an outpatient surgery site and needs to be scheduled. Also, if you take any aspirin or advil or other drugs that increase bleeding, they usually take you off those for 4-7 days prior to the injection so that there will be less chance of any bleeding at the site.
I am running around like a crazy women right now. I think I forgot to tell you all that Gary and I are going to Kansas City this weekend, Friday-Monday. Diana, you won't be in KC this weekend, will ya? LOL! Gary's sister who lives up there is the director of a casino charity event Saturday night. Gary's 2 sisters from Oklahoma City are going up to help her. They called us about a month ago to ask if we wanted to go and not tell his sister who lives there, that Gary is coming, so he could surprise her. Of course he wanted to go, so of course I have to go too. I love his sisters and am looking forward to going, but it's hard being gone from school - I'm pretty busy right now. And packing for a 5 day trip with Gary and his drugstore and medical supply house is a real chore. I think I have everything under control, but who really knows. We are leaving tomorrow afternoon about 5:00 when I get out of class. We'll drive to Oklahoma City (6 hours) and then ride to KC on Friday with his sisters. We'll come back to OK City on Monday and I don't know if I'll feel like driving on home to Austin or not - we'll see. If not, we'll drive home Tuesday morning. One other variable in this mix is that we are having a dog sitter come stay with the boys (she stayed with them in Sept when we went to Colorado), so that means my house and especially her room, has to be perfectly neat and clean when we leave. I don't ever leave my house a mess when we leave for a trip, but neither do I have to make sure everything is perfectly tidy and clean before we leave.
