There were some very strange experiences along the way - chemicals can transport a person to places and experiences that can only be described as weird! In an effort to find a painkiller that would work for me the doctors tried everything. Morphine was the first attempt. The pain went away but the Turkish dancers, dressed in brilliant colors and the wild monkeys in the rain forest really tired me out. (I later found out the TV was on a travel channel!)Next I was having batting practice with David Ortiz and the Red Sox. Morphine out, Percocet in. Also in came intense paranoia. At one point I made Tom go get me a newspaper as i thought everyone was lying to me about what day it was. We finally found a medication that kept me sane and comfortable. I must say I really missed those dancers, they were awfully pretty!
Cabin fever has been a big factor in my anxiousness level. The winter storms have kept me inside ever since I got home. Today the snow has melted enough and the ice is off the sidewalks so the puppies and I walked around the block. It felt so good to be out! This was probably the best medicine yet.
I have to say Tom has been a real rock for me. I am forbidden to do anything. Tom is the bread winner, chef, housekeeper and pooper scooper. There are not enough words to express the love I have for this man. I am so blessed to have Tom and his family.
Here's a shot of my nurses resting. More later. Love to all.
