*breath*
okay. i actually slept through the night last night. no serious pain. and my doctor finally called me back this morning and told me that all of this is normal. he suggested a change in the way i take my meds. and it just felt so soothing to talk to him. he's such a nice guy.
so.
now that i have a new meds plan, i'm feeling much better. more relaxed. and in way less pain. i had been up to about a 7 1/2 on the pain scale. right now it feels about a 2.
and it's a beautiful day. so, day nine, things are looking up.
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
-Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi 1207-1273, written in 1230
