Today is the third day in a row that I have woken up without feeling that I have been run over by an Ice Road Trucker!
I haven’t woken up pain free since November. It’s still hard to believe, this morning I lay in bed, aware that i was waking up, but not wanting to… afraid of the wave of pain about to hit me. In the past, it would only take a few minutes of being conscious before that truck would hit me smack between the eyes & I would be paralysed with a blinding headache and pain all over.
I had an operation on Monday last week to clear my Sinuses. Because it was day surgery, I somehow thought I would be back to normal on Tuesday! (LOL)
Having realised I was not going to recover that quickly, I cancelled my week & pretty much stayed in bed & slept. I wanted to stay away from other people also as if I caught an infection while my sinuses were so raw I would have been in pieces, and the bleeding might have been worsened.
I got dressed on Thursday & Friday, but the effort of doing that made me want to go back to bed!
On Saturday I woke up without pain & couldn’t believe it, I even went out for a walk with Wilson yesterday, and today again I don’t have any pain. I think I’m in shock!

Wow, that must be nice. I’ve never seen them dark. I almost killed one I had in a pot, but it’s coming back to life. Who knew it would need water? 🙂

Lol, water… how simple! Maybe that’s what’s up with my indoor plants

Oh poor you! I’ve been in pain so long I feel like I’m walking on eggshells in case it comes back. I didn’t believe he operation would work so well, but it’s been amazing! I can inhale through my nose!!

Amazing…. Though I have to be careful not to do it in the cold outdoors or too fast as my sinuses are still very tender. I have a bit of a headache this evening, but in comparison to recent months I’m in heaven.
Waking up without your mouth feeling so dry that water doesn’t quench it is wonderful too!
