Wearing Tights And A Leotard

bis

The adventure begins after the incomprehensible failure of the first injection, at it again. So here I am back on Toulouse, family, and then yesterday morning at 8am entrance to the clinic St Nicolas, where I began to be known
:-) Everything was programmed by mail with the optometrist, so I am Arrival hands in pockets, no paper. Never mind, I filled up on the authorization for anesthesia, this fact sheet on the botox, the designation of a trustworthy person ... etc. All that I begin to know by heart. Then I'm in my room, the same as last time :-)
After the nurse who came do his little routine questioning, my ophthalmologist happening to me and ask how are you since last week, closely followed by another nurse who brings the required circumstances. Once the blue blouse and matching slippers slipped, she puts a catheter in the forearm and gives me a taste anxiolytic particularly disgusting, but very effective ... So effective that I do not remember much after that.

I do not remember having gone to the block with porter, for cons I have some "flashes" on what happened there: drops Biting eyes, the anesthesiologist with his cap in green card, the device voltage, and finally produces milky-white which fall directly into the arms of Morpheus, and the surgeon's hands.

All this had to take place around 10am, and spent the rest of the day sleeping off the anesthetic into my room. The ophthalmologist came to see me at the beginning of the afternoon to tell me that everything went well , perfect, enough to sleep on my 2 ears, by the way I did all afternoon . That evening, I resumed a little energy with a light meal but more than adequate. My blood pressure peaked at 8 / 4 and during the night, it does not improve because frankly I hold 9 / 3.
This morning, however, everything is better, I'm "in shape", I left the clinic at 11am, after getting my order Tobradex, the letter for my orthoptist and reporting. I received 0.2 mL or 10 IU of botulinum toxin into the right medial left, which is more than last time. I returned to see the optometrist's office Monday morning, and meanwhile I'm waiting to see if an effect occurs ...

Fence To Go Around Christmas Tree

Food Poisoning

Well, I ninth day of "gastro" , I finally decided to go see, for there to force feed myself almost exclusively Smecta, bananas and chocolate, the shape is gently trunk ... Not need an hour to find what I, the beginning is sadly obvious: it is the sandwich I bought at Nantes on Monday, 19 which definitely an insider. The good tuna sandwich with mayonnaise that takes looooongtemps ... The diagnosis is found: food poisoning.

9 of tension, 3 pounds lighter, it's time to move up a gear, I'm leaving home with my little the general requirement of anitbiotiques intestinal , and how to renew my stoc Smecta. And then of course still rice-banana-carrot, another 10 days like that and I'll eventually get used to it ...

Good if not, I still managed the feat of going to downtown Toulouse do my pre-orthoptic botox, without falling into the apples! (No no fruit it will wait a bit :-)). The divergence has increased slightly (40 diopters close, 22 below), also vertical strabismus (14 diopters), and nystagmus was his original injury that Nathalie had forgotten his camera, he was in the right eye vertical and horizontal the left eye when I looked up and left.

Then if a secretary St Nicolas Clinic called me to put some stuff in (I did not know my starting time, or my day off, not my type of anesthesia), and I'm very unpleasant impression of that I would have got it again last ... That is not in itself that bothers me is the fact that in early March I typed NOTHING to 1200km with the explanation that the toxin did not stand the wait too long. It would be a shame to repeat the same thing, botox adulterated, it's not worth seeing ...

Constant White Discharge

2 syncope in 2 days ...

It is what we might call a week very hectic.
Monday morning as I begin provided by my new treatment Mexitil (mexiletine). For lunch I buy a sandwich Nantes and 2 hours after I began to be malaaaade ... This time I spent my Monday night to Tuesday, vomiting, great, then Tuesday I was standing so I'm on probation despite my gastro beginner. Lunch (as in the morning) can not eat, and the afternoon I left early because really too bad. And then pretty uncomfortable on the tram, I fall into the apples, we had more than one passenger forces me to drink, but he did not press him when it was the return to FIG. I find myself all night for emergencies Hotel-Dieu of , where they say it is a malaise induced Mexitil, which can cause arrhythmia or bradycardia.

Good Wednesday unremarkable, I remain at home with my gastro which reaches its climax.

Thursday morning, I thought when I woke up it was better, and as I was less dependent on the toilet I decided to go to class, especially since the sagit DU strabologie. The morning went well, and the afternoon rebelotte I faints, that's what is called being noticed. I spend an ECG in the ophthalmology department, then the anesthesiologist decides me Emergency again, again because of Mexitil. J'ensuis stood at 21h, otherwise it's not funny, and yet I was lucky because they wanted to keep me heart! Yet it was a lease that I was better then as I had the next morning appointment with my cardiologist in town is a strong argument to get out.

This morning, as scheduled by appointment. I tell what happened, ECG yesterday where I was bradycardia to 44, and where I'm going bcp better. She did another ECG is completely normal , and finally explain why and how: I had gastroenteritis, which I probably caused a slight hypokalemia, Mexitil gold, which is an anti-arrhythmic paradoxically becomes very arrhythmogenic when hypokalemia is ... Therefore me to interrupt temporarily the processing time for a suitable diet for up potassium. Here I am condemned to banana split for the week, I'm going as penance :-)

Well, tomorrow, returning to Toulouse in order to celebrate my 20 years as a family, and for injection of botulinum toxin on 29!
