Hey folks…

Updates! Firstly, I had surgery last week for my stomach. Had some um, er, um, women issues that were taken care of. One of the things the surgeon fixed was my fallopian tube which evidently, rather than flowing freely in it’s little fallopian tube environment, decided to become a bit of a pest to some surrounding tissue and embed itself into it. The result was (very likely) the severe pains I had when I ran were because it was tugging onto the tissue as I run/do certain activities and making it very, very painful. Usually I’d end up on the floor, throwing up, sick as a dog, wanting to die and nearly passing out. (I think once I did, on my way to the hospital with my mom on my birthday at the beginning of this past June… best, birthday, ever… ) Anyways, after burning some tissue off and sorting out other lovely bits, the surgeon declared it a wonderous success (er, those are my words but essentially he said all is good according to the medical report I saw today).

Healing has been pretty good. Bruised way more than the regular doc thought I would and a week of sick-leave, has been good. Full of sleep and rest and rejuvenation and… THREE DAYS OF ZERO PAIN IN MY SHOULDER.

Yes, something funky happened after my surgery when I woke up. I experienced the worst pain ever on earth as I woke up and my arm cramped something fierce. Spasms and excruciating jolts of pain lengthened my time in the recovery room. After a crapload of drugs and muscle relaxants and other fun things, the spasming finally ceased.

That day was hell.

The next three days?

Heaven. Pure heaven. And, it wasn’t the pain meds they gave me either. After I stopped those, I still had relief until two days ago.

Then the pain started to come back. It’s not full force, maybe 50% of the pain I usually have so it’s still like, a vacation. But… I felt like I had a bit of a miracle there.

And, maybe the miracle is still there. Despite the relief of pain, I still have my increased range of motion. Yes folks… that’s what I said! GUESS WHAT I CAN DO? I can put my arm up behind my back (like, putting on a bra motion)… oh yea, I haven’t done that in 17 months!!!

Seriously? It feels like a miracle to me. Even with the pain that came back… I need to stay positive.

Today I had my meeting with my Warrant who essentially asked if I want to fight the Pcat or not because, my papers have sort of arrived. (It’s a two-month process right now)….

You tell me guys… what should I do?

I know the answer I gave him…
