- Had pain, changed diet
- Ate better food, better nutrition
- Arthritis subsided
- Lost 50 pounds ... So far
- Had pain, got a stand up desk
- Sat less, moved more, practiced better balance
- Learned that I'm NOT fearless and canceled
the surgery.
- Doctors will listen, agreed with canceling
surgery
- Pain, in the wake of canceled surgery outwitted
fear. Pain circumnavigated fear.
- Health care is miraculous. GB surgery, which
kept people in the hospital for days, is now done outpatient like laundry, in
by 7 out by 6.
- Health care is miraculous. Pain required 5
doses of narcotics over 36 hours only, ibuprophen for another 48. Boom! Done.
- Health care is miraculous. 4 incisions, three
of which, where the tape is smaller than half a postage stamp.
- Sister care showed me unconditional love.
- Neighbor care proved she meant, "I get up
early"
- Friends wishing me well, bringing meals reminds
me I'm surrounded by love.
- Took time off for recovery taught me I'm human.
I needed it. I could use more time. Why did I think I could be back full time
in one week?
- Time off showed me what I would do if I had
more time...
- Time with friends and family, create, create,
read, create.
- Time off showed me that I have a love hate
thing with structured time.
- Health, though always an integral part of my
life, feels more vulnerable/fleeting than ever.
- Death isn't my concern. Pain, inability to
learn and create, lack of care and love are.
Grateful
I only have one gall bladder and it won't return.
