My own temporary update

I know you all want an update.

Know that I am doing as (doctor's) planned.

I am now at home with my parents. I don't/can't blog long.

This is the most painful experience of my life. I hate to be sour, but this has been and continues to be the worst experience of my life.

Please don't visit me right now. Let me get throught this state and I'll post again.

I request that you ALL pray for me. Send me thoughts and pray to God or whoever you pray to to help me throught this pain. It is consuming and not one bit what I thought it would be like. I know now why my mom says she doesn't remember this part of her surgery/recovery. She's probably blocked it out. I think prayer is the only thing that really works now.

So so sorry to do this to y'all.

xoxo

*gentle hugs* I'm always amazed at how fast people are out of hospital nowadays, I don't remember the pain after my own surgery but mine was about 15 years ago and they kept us in and lying down a lot longer back then!

I'm sure it'll ease up soon, they wouldn't have let you home unless you were on the mend! I hope it all gets better quickly, and in the meantime, hot water bottles can help a little. xx

Megan, you are a beautiful, sweet, and strong spirit. You will get through this very soon and it will have all been worth it. I am praying for you every day. {{{hugs}}} This is part of the journey, remember? Don't forget to breathe. :)

I am lifting you up to the Lord, sweet friend. I am so sorry for your pain. I like this verse and hope it is an encouragement to you, as well (may you be walking, running and soaring soon!):

"He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary,and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint."
-Isaiah 40:29-31

Know that you have many, many friends who are praying for you, supporting you, and are "with you" as you go through this.

Don't apologize to us for sharing what you are going through, but on the other hand if it's hard to do, hard to transcribe, just don't. We care more about you than our need to know.

I'm so glad you told me about this blog at the PRSA meeting so that I could give you some small form of support, for what it's worth. I know the whole club would pray for you and wish you well.

We need our "New Member of the Year" back (but you can't get re-elected!)

Vixel, it is always really good to hear about others who went through this, too, and made it out ok. You were right about the heat tip. I didn't use hot water bottles, but a heating pad for a few minutes at a time. Icing was best, though, for the pain. xoxo

<3 Right back at you, Cheyne.

Thanks for the encouragement, Becky, Lisa and Kim. I know I'm out of this really bad stage now (thank goodness!) but it helped me so much to read notes like yours when I was there. It still helps!

Michele, I had never read that verse before and am SO glad you shared it with me. It is beautiful and very comforting (kind of like you!).

Thank you, Gregg. You're probably right about the not blogging when I can't, and I am keeping that in mind. I just really want to document this whole experience. For myself as much as for others. I hope to be back in the PRSA mix by April or May. I miss it!
