Sunshine behind the Clouds...

Hello whoever is reading this! :) I'm pleased to say things are a little brighter than my last post. I had a long chat with Brad, and he's assured me that he will take care of things and that he feels better when he's in control of what's happening. I can kind of understand that, if he was ill or injured I would feel the same way. I have to admit, I would also be freaking out if Brad kept doing stuff that he wasn't supposed to, so perhaps I wasn't being the bestest patient either! Thankfully the Tough household has calmed down somewhat and I have gotten myself into a bit of a better headspace. I've also started waking up at a normal time and making an effort to at least get dressed and do my hair, and to get out of the bedroom and into the lounge room during the day so I feel a little more like a normal human being and a little less like a cripple!!!

Pa is in the painstaking process of making me toast and tea - LOL apparently that's a difficult task.....it would seem the men in my family have been as crippled as I currently am by my good nature and love of cooking! Brad has been doing a good job though, last night we had hot dogs :) i have to say, in all other respects Brad has been both patient and long suffering, and has done everything he can to keep me safe and occupied despite my discomfort at times. Last night was the worst pain I've had since coming home from the hospital, which I think in part was because yesterday I was determined to go through the whole day without Endone - I got til 9 pm and then gave up! I think Andree was right, if you keep the pain at bay throughout the day its not nearly as bad, but if you let the pain get out of control its much harder to reign it back in. I just don't want to become reliant upon the Endone in particular, so the less I can have the better.

I dont want to have any Endone also because my beautiful friend Lisa is on her way over with fancy schmancy coffee for us :) :) yummo :) :) I love her, she's one of those kindred spirits that one day just step into your world and before you know it, you cannot imagine what you did without them! It's rare to find someone that you love so effortlessly, who just - fits - but she is completely in sync with me! Absolutely love her!!! :)

Well I'm going to sign off now, but no doubt I'll post again soon :)

Until next time!!
