Ok today was not as fun as yesterday with hallucinations. I was good with it and he doesn't remember so it works .I did have 2 heads for a short time. Trav still felt like we had only been there maybe an hour when we had been at the clinic for 5 hours. The ketamine is causing his pain to flare while he is on it. Not sure the exact reason but it was brought up that its his brain fighting the drugs. That makes it hard to have him move it. But he doesn't remember some of the pain. The Dr.'s say that the pain control will be slow coming but he should be feeling something soon. He is topped out on the dose the can give him in the office and for the amount of time they want him on it. We did notice that he was able to lay with his back and hips twisted. So that was good and we took that as a first step.
I tried to take his mind off of things today so we went to the zoo. He wouldn't use a wheelchair so he was on his crutches. Bad mistake his hands are so sore and so is his leg from it hanging down all day. But on the good side he is tired tonight and might sleep. Have to see what the morning brings and we may spend tomorrow resting after the hospital.
My hopes are still high that this will work and bring him some relief.
