My SUMMER 2024 did not go as I had in mind!! Hospitals, operations, and a lot of pain.

*Mid July:

emergency admittance local hospital, middle of the night: acute, crawling with pain, huge GALLBLADDER infection.

5th October, 2024, a WEAK smile and dressed as a normal *human*, instead of having lowered myself down gingerly in bed again, flat on my back to AVOID PAIN, and rest/sleep.

(Quite an achievement, I can tell you)

Oh, I said *weakly*, about ready to get up and go home (with anti-biotic medications 💊). No no no, said the surgeon in charge: we keep you here, until that is *under control* and I sank back in my pillows, groaning, oh no…

*Mid August:

and after endless checks: MRI, Ultra Sound, Xray, because I kept having pains and balance issues: outcome: 3 seriously damaged LUMBAR vertebrae.

Advise neuro-chirurg: an operation.

Okay I decided: this is never going to get any better, nor heal itself, so: an operation, which lasted 6 hours, with a 7 day stay in hospital.

(Operation successful, the patient survived).

But I had no idea what all that meant, nor involved AFTERwards, back *at home*

(You don’t want to know actually.)

Loaded with bags of allopathic meds I was sent home, and the wound had to be cleaned and dressed 3x pw, the next 3 weeks. Then back to the hospital to have the stitches removed.

Mid September:

I kept having PAINS, ghastly, back to the hospital: blood-check revealed I had a MILD bladder/urinal tract infection.

Again a bag full of allopathic meds to combat that PLUS:

Abdominal pains, cramps, I.B.S (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) AND: the entire GALLINAIRY TRACT system, and getting NORMAN bowel functions again.

___________________________________________

Note:

During that entire period: mid June – end September I did NOT get ONE decent night’s SLEEP!!

Not in the hospital, where they keep checking your vitals every 2/3 hours, renew serums, meds, administered I.V., and you have a catheter too.

Back home 🏡 the same *biological pattern* became my lot: every 1.5 – 2.5 hours at night, I woke up, needing to pee!!

Terrible, plus I soon discovered: extremely exhausting!!

Note” no way, did I have a *normal* day, for 2.5 months!! 75 days!!

Like wake/up in the morning, having a day, an evening, and then beddiebies: sleeping an uninterrupted 7/8 hours.

Note: my PAINS continued too!! Best described as a combination of LUMBAGO and SCIATICA!

__________________________________________

Note: The picture I took of myself today: I felt a bit better!!!

Less pains, a better urinal function, AND: for 2 nights I had been able to SLEEP without interruptions for 8 hours!!

Boy I thought this morning 🌄 that feels much better, with feelings of HOPE!!! that I am finally albeit it still slowly 🐌 to FEELING NORMAL.

Had a great restorative bath, shampooed my hair and for the first time in 10 week: I got dressed in NORMAL clothes, instead of comfy stuff because I was spending most of my time (24/7) IN BED!!!

/_________/_________/_________/_________/./././

Hooray.

My smile still looks a bit weakish, I myself actually can SEE, I look like I have been suffering. Which has been the case!!!

The PAINS moving, walking, muscles mostly were dreadful. BUT: I am on the mend!!

Note 📝 📋 there is in my experience NOW nothing more healing, restorative than a decent good night’s sleep of 7/8 hours, in my case WITHOUT any medication 💊 to *artificially* enforce sleep.
