Seems to be the pattern

Right on cue, after a busy first part of the day, here comes the pain!
Nerve pain. The worst. Left leg.
I don't think I've ever had nerve pain. If I did, I think I would know it.
Writhing. Panicky. Sweating. Unbearable.

Increased the nerontin. Kathy is worried about so many things. Chronic nerve pain... Addiction to pain meds... Money... Being a burden...

After two and a half hours, she's getting sleepy.

Gotta say, Sam sent a funny card that made Kathy laugh. Monkey crafted smiles ARE worth something! - very original. Just goes to prove what I've been saying, she has a way with everyone who meets her. I don't even think her ex's have bad thoughts about her!

Not sleepy enough to sleep through her leg talking so loudly.
Damn inconsiderate of that left leg if you ask me.

Halloween. Stuck in a hospital. No dressing up. No scaring the kids. No candy... wait, Mona sent Kathy a bag of candy! Where is it? Aha! Chocolate! Yes!!! This is Halloween! This is Halloween!

Too much pain to enjoy chocolate?!? I've never heard of such a thing!?! "Left Leg! You are acting like another body part! Stop the madness!!!"

This day of waiting has been nice. Knocking down the upcoming surgeries will be nicer. Tomorrow the left leg gets worked on some more. "Take THAT Left Leg!!!"

  1. Who doesn't like monkeys (apes), except maybe Heston in Planet of The Apes (Monkeys?)? In all seriousness, I've been in a motorcycle crash and there isn't a wide selection of Hallmark Cards for "Sorry To Learn That You Were Mostly Mangled In An Accident".

    I'm also happy to hear that the card got a laugh, a laugh and or smile however brief, given the situation is a good outcome.

    Fair weather and following seas to all involved.
