Day one... The Wine Tasting!

This is the husbands eye view for the next few days as my lovely wife tries to endure her first day of ketamine infusion.
Today was considered a "Wine Tasting", and the reason is to get her familiar with the effects during the treatment and what to expect when coming back out of it.
The set up was uneventful and the doctor was able to put in the IV flawlessly and smooth. Then came the Ketamine, and my wife slipped into a sleepy state where every 15 minutes she answered simple and predetermined questions, yet everything else was completely confusing. Her body felt as if it was completely numb and she could hear everything going on around her, yet could not formulate words enough to ask for lip balm. Only the simplest of tasks could be done, and I do envy her as we watched "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" but I saw it just like every time before,  and she saw it on acid!
 While Michelle was still under the effects we put the BluRay of "UP" on the 50" inch HD screen and although trapped in her body, her mind new that she had only a couple hours left to go.
Being put under?...Cake!
The feeling of coming out of the influence?...Cake...slammed into your face by a very mean Clown!
Waves of grogginess and nausea hit her very hard, and at a time when her body was so very exhausted she hardly could keep her eyes focused and hold them still. My poor scared wife was wheelchair bound in the lobby, in tears and confusion. Ginger Ale and Crackers were the comfort foods to help her regain strength but not peace of mind.
We returned to the Holiday Inn and after chicken noodle soup and a 2 hour nap, the color has returned to her cheeks and her appetite is reaffirming that this is something that she can get through.
The prayers of her Family and Friends remain the best medicine to counteract her medication.
Thankfully, Love has NO bad side effects.
Michelles Loco Husbando signing off until tomorrow.
