Finally finally finally the headache is gone. I have all the respect in the world for people who endure migraines, I am so very sorry for all you have to deal with. The plus the oxycodone pretty much meant I couldn’t even open my eyes because of the light sensitivity. So grateful that we’re mostly down to back pain and all the expected pain now. Now I just have to rest sleep and wait to recover. Don’t love it but so so much better than the headache.

Grateful.

Resting and recovering here. Have a headache that redefines all headaches that came before. Who knew anesthesia caused headaches. Not me. I also didn’t know about vasovagal either but had one of those today too. Overall though it could be much worse. If this blinding headache would go away it would be exponentially better.

Haven’t had enough of the flowers yet so I’ll be posting them for a while. I’ve been rewatching some of Brene Brown’s talks recently. I find that revisitng then once a year is a good reminder for me. Same with the “This is Water” speech by David Foster Wallace. Remembering what matters most and what we take for granted so easily.

Took a walk with my oldest today. I can’t believe he will leave for college in a few months. I am so incredibly proud of him and the person he’s become. Love him so very much.

Trying to rest and be grateful today. Love and joy is everywhere and sometimes we just have to look harder.

Well we’re back to having no power. My surgery is tomorrow and the hospital also has no power so let’s see how this works out…
