Help?
I would like to write details but between a computer I'm not used to typing on and how utterly DISORIENTED I am, I can't really give anyone a full written scoop. I even have trouble talking and understanding what others are saying.
I see how completely useless I am in this state and I wonder how people can consider this an "escape"; by that I mean taking OxyContin to feel *high*.
Don't get me wrong: I've never had a more effective pain killer and right now I really need it. But the thought of living my life in this foggy stupor? Nigtmare.
I'm taking notes on my experiences as I recall them from both the surgery and the post-op so that I can write a testimonial for Dr. Cook's office. I offered to share my experience on paper so future patients would have been told all about it from someone that has been there. I'm planning to post that essay here and just add to it the rest of what I want to tell you all.
Meanwhile, I really can't stress enough how much I need support and prayer. Those of you that have called, texted, or replied to my entries? You'll never know how much you've helped. I've never felt quite this needy after a procedure and hearing from all of you is in no way a hollow pick-me-up. I hope I'll be able to reply to your comments and tell you the details of "why" soon.
And a very special thank you to seehellirun for taking care of the house and Naomi in my absense. It's a massive load off my shoulders that are already buckling under the pressure.
