My best friend in a contemplative mood.
Thankfully, the headache of Wednesday's post has abated. Thursday and Friday were pretty good until some things happened at work that kept me there an extra hour and resulted in a major melt down upon returning home. God love my husband, I don't know where he finds the patience to deal with me when I am being an emotional train wreck. At one point I sobbed to him," I don't want you to end up being like my father, wanting to shoot me and then turn the gun on yourself!" He replied," I've never wanted to shoot you and I've certainly never wanted to shoot myself! I just want you to get better so you are like you were when we first were together!"
He held me and stroked my hair and calmed me. I am so blessed to have him as my partner.
So today I had a delicious two hour nap. The sun is reflecting off the birches and pines on the ridge beside the house. The trees are bare of leaves that would obscure one's view of the mountain in the distance. At this moment, I do not know it's name. I know it, but I cannot recall it. I'm told this is part of Lyme brain. One more piece of information lost to me in the moment.
Once I'm over this hump with the final Nystatin boost, I will have a couple of weeks before I start the antibiotic regimen. I will go to Maine and spend some time at Pine Point before heading up the coast to see my sister and join in my oldest neice's bridal shower. For now, I'm taking it one day at a time. Blessings abound.

Just spent a little time getting caught up on your story. Oh, my: what a story! Bless you for your fortitude, and for sharing the tale to let your readers know that those in pain themselves are not alone, and that those not in pain can look here for a model if it falls to them! I hope the current regimen of medications leads you to things that are better and better.
Just so glad you're feeling better. (While they might not be appropriate for you, don't overlook the possibilities of therapeutic massages, chiropractic, and acupuncture. I always prefer the natural to the pharmaceutical.)
Thank you both for your kind words. Twoberry, I use acupuncture and some massage to help with the pain. I no longer use chiropractic as it became contraindicated with some of the problems I had with my lower spine.
