What Stood Out in This Conversation
After about an hour of trying to shove that thing up my nose while wide awake, even the nurse gave up and called my doctor in to partially sedate me. My mom was there and I was crying, she was crying, even the nurse had tears in her eyes. I told him to get a nurse that I needed pain medicine STAT.
What This Episode Means in Practice
The not so shiny part of my story, but a part I have made serious strides in working thru in EMDR to come to terms with the pain I endured and the trauma it caused for me. I wasn’t allowed to take ibuprofen because I had an ulcerating stomach disease. But I went to therapy over wound care pain and the night I woke up from surgery with no pain meds at all.
Faith-Rooted Reflection
By the grace of God, having my stomach removed, getting septic and going thru a horrific battle against infection in my body, that “Im healed” moment never occurred, but one day I realized I really was healed. By this time so many people in our lives were in tune with my health dilemma and had prayed for me over the years and knew what I had been thru.
