The nurses just kept asking, and I had my blood pressure taken (I believe it was) every two to three hours for three days. The one nurse asked if I ran a lot for exercise. I walked during my pregnancy, although not too often since it was the middle of winter.<br /><br />IT: contact anesthesia? I guess. It's when the anesthesiologist places something into your spine to dull the pain. I had to sign a waiver in case they messed up and I ended up having nerve damage.<br /><br />One other thing: I had to get TWO epidermals. The first one didn't work although the doctor said the other two(anesthesiologists?) did it right.Michelle H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10117937124348728578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169129998329537448.post-73865731268047230612011-04-26T11:56:07.168-04:002011-04-26T11:56:07.168-04:00Epidermal, you mean like contact anesthesia?Epidermal, you mean like contact anesthesia?IT (aka Ivan Toblog)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07484236901066944983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169129998329537448.post-63913005841514681882011-04-26T11:46:46.650-04:002011-04-26T11:46:46.650-04:00LOL. Whenever I have someone like you in my ambula...LOL. Whenever I have someone like you in my ambulance and I get a super low BP I remember what they told me in school; trust the patient, not the instrument...if the patient looks fine but the BP is super low, I just say, "Hey, what does your BP normally run?" Usually they say oh yeah, its always low. And then mine comes back down. :)Shieldmaiden96https://www.blogger.com/profile/04673938377819957295noreply@blogger.com
