I have often heard of people who loose limbs having phantom pains as if they still had the limb they had lost. Since my accident I have had some odd pains that I can't explain & have tried and usually succeeded in getting past.
Tonight however, my pain feels like an electrical burning on all sides of my ankle, my foot is having spasms that are causing my leg to violently shake & though I have taken 2 of my pain medications, this pain has brought me to full blown sobbing & having to call my best friend and ask them to talk to me so I can redirect my thoughts away from the pain.
About 15 minutes of conversation and I can now attempt to go back to bed and sleep. I tried to reach dear hubby, however his cell phone is off and he has told me the area where he is staying is having some problems with high winds and fallen trees. When you hurt that bad, you just want someone to listen and try to help you refocus.
Since I damaged my leg so badly, I am not sure if this pain if from severed nerves, tendons, broken bones or a combination of all things put together. All I know is it is the worst pain I have felt in a long time.
****************THANK YOU'S********************THANK YOU'S*******
This weeks many heartfelt thanks to my neighbors Bonnie & David for the driving me around, calling to ensure I am up getting my granddaughter ready for school, taking her to bus stop. To Kelly & Ed for coming over and helping me clean up and put away dinner messes, play with the kids & for keeping Shyann overnight so she doesn't have to get up so early. Tracy for her wonderful kindnesses of bringing me coffee & bagels, cleaning up my kitchen, picking up dog poop, watering all my trees and shrubs, running paperwork to the Dr.
To Desiree for coming over and cleaning, doing laundry, taken kids to Dr. & picking up things I need here and there.
While I will probably never know why this happened or why God allowed it to happen, I know I am in this position for a reason and I am doing the best I can to thank and praise Him for all my friends & all my blessings!
May your day be filled with peace.
Namaste!
