1. I'm going to Tulsa for the weekend to judge my favorite dance competition, TSF. I look forward to it every fall!
2. While I'm there, I'll also get to attend Beth's annual Halloween party. This year's costume will have to be a game time decision. I haven't had time this year to plan one!
3. Beth is currently 24 weeks pregnant with Miss Victoria Elizabeth Hughes. I can't believe this is baby #3 for her! I am told that #3 is also the final baby. I always thought that Beth and I would have our babies right around the same time, so part of me is a little sad that the future Baucom babies will be younger than the Hughes batch.
4. That thought leads me to this one- Bryan and I met with my pain management doctor together this week. So far, my pain management plan wasn't working very well, so we had a heart-to-heart with the doctor about my goals for the future versus where I am at the moment. Obviously, the future goal is wellness in my body and a painless existence. Also, babies. But currently, the goal is to control my pain enough that I can hold onto my life- my job, my relationships, social obligations, possibly reintroduce eyeshadow back into my daily schedule... you get the idea. So, we increased my daily dosage of Lyrica and changed my pain medication. Two days later, I'm feeling significantly better. I'm so relieved and thankful that this area of my well being has improved.
5. And next on the treatment plan is another pudendal nerve block on November 8th plus a piriformis steroid injection and hopefully, some trigger point injections in my abdomen. Doesn't that sound fun? I WILL reward myself with a lunch of cookies and milk that day.
6. Until next week, be well!
