At this very moment I am on the bus headed to yet another appointment to adjust the cocktail of medications that help to keep the debilitating pain under control. It's a long ride but a great time for me to read, write, think or pray. Today I am at peace despite the return of gut wrenching spams by one thought...I was pain free for 2 days...
Up until Friday night I was horribly ill. Itchy, tongue slighty swollen, slurred speech, unable to concentrate and fatigued and in pain. It was just like when I had Lymes Disease. My body and stomache ached. Nothing helped and I was exhuasted. So, I found some Naproxen and figured at the very least it would take the edge off... Guess what!? I am highly allergic... ugh. What I had been taking every day for a week was the cause of the Lyme's like symptoms. Thank God I had only been taking the pills once a day and for a friend who brought to my attention the fact that my speech was slurred.
After 12hrs after chucking the pills and drinking what felt like a gallon of water, I was feeling great. I had recently cancelled plans to volunteer to work Purple Door, a Christian music festival.. A dear sweet hysterically funny Sister in the LORD and friend Carol took away EVERY excuse I had given for not going. Needless to say.. we rocked our faces off, sang, danced, cried, ate and hugged each other all day long. At one point they prayed for me. My body cooperated and I felt better.
.
I now realize was suppose to be there...to be saturated in love, prayer and Christian rock music. Months of prayers had been answered. The next 48hrs were amazing. I ate, drank and slept pain free for 2 days.
In a word BLISS.
