The Escape
I made it through the extra day of only using a variety of types of oral pain killers and muscle relaxers. This morning, the doctor asked if I wanted to go home, and I said yes! A few hours later, the pain started getting really bad, even though I was taking all that I could at the time. I struggled, worrying if I needed to stay. Then a miracle happened, Joel brought a chair up next to me. He held my hand and reassured me. Before long, the pain became manageable. I did relatively well getting ready to leave...
It's important to clarify is that I'm dealing with nerve pain. There is/has been nothing to take it fully away with the meds. I do appreciate continue prayers for my calm & peace in the pain. Also pray it is short lived. They didn't know if it would be better in weeks or months... .
I'm released from the hospital, and I'm an on the recliner with special gift blankets and I'm going to try and sleep.
