Two New Looks...
Hi Friends,
Many thanks to Cressida Heyes for these two new looks. I'm kind of keen on the second one...maybe it's time for me to have a whole new look.
I have learned more about what's happening with my left arm - the bad burning feeling (which sometimes leans into pain) is a result of the nerve they had to cut. So, my arm is communicating yucky white noise to my brain which doesn't know how to make sense of it. It is truly a sensation I've never experienced before. Last night, while trying to get settled in bed, there wasn't one position I could find that would give me any relief. I managed to fall asleep (thank you pretty little pills) then woke up in the night, as I often do, on my back like a stranded beetle with no way of sitting up without pain. I keep my ipod close so I can just put on my Dalai Lama audiobook. Last night he was telling me about how to manage suffering. It was actually quite helpful, then we did a meditation together. So the beetle didn't move until morning when I found my arm on the bed and without pain. A brilliant moment. It didn't last long, but we now know it's possible to not be sending those messages, so I'm more hopeful.
Catherine continues to improve so we are more hopeful on that front as well.
Much love,
Kip

Too much pain for our Kippee :-(
ReplyDeleteI am actually partial to the (more conservative) top hairstyle, except for the blue stuff growing out of the back of your head.
I send healing vibes to everyone, for what they're worth.
Do nothing until you have seen mine, which is in the works!!

Hi Kip,
ReplyDeleteNerve pain is unique, isn't it? I wish you more and more painfree moments that eventually (soon) merge into a painfree state. What audiobook were you listening to?
Get well, Catherine.
