Counting Blessings

Again, today was a bad day. The pain was hard in the morning and then this afternoon, it moved locations and is like stabbing pain in my back. I started having a meltdown in the bathroom this morning, but then reminded myself this is still better than at the hospital and that helped. It's just so frustrating, because I have the pain despite a variety of pain management strategies.

I need to focus on good things. One BIG thing, I don't believe I've mentioned is the fact that I'm no longer coughing!!! If you have seen me much in the last several years, I was coughing all the time. The doctor told me losing the cough was a goal, but may not happen due to scar tissue, or if he left parts of the cyst behind. We know he got it all... And hopefully scar tissue won't change this blessing!
