Finally Relief! Did We Beat 'The Curse'?

Last night was one of the best nights yet. The muscle relaxant provided much needed relief , AND helped our girl sleep (I wonder if that special pillow helped also, the one I've been trying to get her to try for a week).

So after sleeping most of the night Kathy woke in a much better mood & in less discomfort than before. There were more smiles, and less anxiety about the 'Thursday Curse'.

The past two Thursdays are when those devastating headaches occurred. So here it is 9:00 Thursday night & Kathy is tucked snugly in bed & resting comfortably. Could we have turned the corner?

Another milestone today, we are down to only one post op medication (you don't want to know how many we had to track at first). We are both happy about this.

And, today Kathy expressed a wish that we take a walk outside. A good sign of healing and perhaps a case of cabin fever. Perhaps tomorrow if weather permits.

So......still dealing with some pain, some nausea (but only some!) & exhaustion but we are so much better than last week. Success seems to be nearer, we just have to be patient with all the baby steps to get there.



Thanks to Tami & Kevin Sherman (the new Mr. & Mrs.!!) for your warm wishes.

Nurse Dale oooout! (that's Canadian ya know).
