1月26日 The Mending Pelvis ChroniclesYou'd think that my body would have spared me the agony of getting my period after the accident, but no.
I have gotten it on time like clockwork every month and with gusto making already difficult things even worse .
I really needed more pelvic discomfort.
NOT.
Digestion also was a tad hinky , and so laxatives were in play for quite sometime.I've lost those and am doing well.
Except I am on a potty still in my room with the hospital bed.
Little by little I am gaining strength .
My Eddie has been there for me since I got home Dec 22 , and has been a miracle worker.He helps me in so many ways.There is no doubt about how much he loves me ,especially now in my time of need.
Not that there ever was.
Along every step of this journey , concern written all over his face with a heavy marker.Always going that extra mile to take care of my different and ever changing needs.
Making time in his already busy life with three kids to take care of his broken fiancee.
My daughter has helped a lot as well whenever called upon , but wound care, potty emptying and getting me food ( initally-- now I can feed myself and cook) has been all him.
I was so lucky to find this love , now thoroughly tested , and is still capable of flourishing .
I know I love him more today than even one second before the pickup smashed into my side of the car on a sunny November afternoon on the way out for a late lunch.
 1月17日 Gone,Baby,Gone...metal abdominal intrusions that is.
I'm totally free from the bar that set my pelvis in place.
They pulled it out of me with some laughing gas ( wasn't laughing during that fyi) yesterday , and yet it still hurt like the dickens coming out.
Since I got home , I've been so much more mobile.
Working on dosing down on the narcotics-- have to do a gradual decline .
Can't go cold turkey without complications.
Just have to concentrate now on strengthening my pelvis and legs , and that the incisions heal shut.
At least those four pins that were stuck into my pelvis aren't pulling my skin making me unable to bend or twist, and tearing & bleeding while walking.
I never had so much intense pain in my life and I am really glad to see it come to an end .
Still have to sleep in a hospital bed for awhile , and am hoping not all too much longer...miss snuggling something awful.
I am still very grateful to be alive, but hopefully won't ever have to see pain like this again in this lifetime.
I have a new lease on life, and am relishing every pain-free moment .
1月10日 Snoring + My Guy = ComfortI love to hear my Eddie snore every night .
Call me a freak, but frankly, by this age I am use to the label.
I elbowed poor Tom and shook him awake for years complaining about his snoring nearly every night.
The annoyance did end abruptly when he died and no longer snored or for that fact , breathed.
After sleeping alone for five years , and then coupling up again ,I rather quickly adapted to being unconscious with someone I loved and trusted .
He warned me that he snored, and I warned him that I talked , sometimes walked and made my own disruptive sounds .
He sleeps heavily and doesn't catch my shenanigans, but I definitely hear his .Plus the occassional smack from his elbow...
More recently I shed many a tears at night sleeping all alone and in pain and longing for him during the five weeks after the accident in hospital and rehab .
I currently sleep in a hospital bed in next room since I have a pelvic bar that forces me to sleep on my back in one postion..
What soothes me and makes me feel secure ( despite still not being with him in our bed ) , is the nightly chorus of snoring I hear from my honey.
Lesson learned , class dismissed. |
