Yesterday was a wonderful day. I didn't see Darien. I didn't even leave the house or get dressed. So, why was it wonderful you might ask...well, I'll tell you. Dad and I did our exercise routine twice. Dad is helping me gain my strength back (isn't he just wonderful). The whole routine takes about 3 - 4 minutes so it's very way back to the beginning of being active again, but it helps. Also, I did a couple chores. I made my bed and straightened some papers in my room. That's enough to put me down the rest of the day, but I still had a bit of energy. THEN...I fainted twice last early evening. One was just a dead fall backwards onto the back of my head, and we're not sure about the other one, but I was somehow scrunched up in a door frame. THAT...was followed by a full blown panic attack and onset of a migraine.
Here it comes!!! The wonderful part is that I got through it. I used therapy techniques, prayer, and sheer determination to over come it all WITHOUT narcotic medication, which leaves me in a terrible state. It's a medication hangover that puts me in a terrible way for days and days.
My head hurts this morning, I feel like I've been hit by a truck, but I'm smiling. Give thanks in all things. I give thanks for the support of my father (Papa), my Heavenly Father (Always), Craig (my therapist and friend who for many years taught me techniques that still bless my life), and of course Nana, who care for me like I was her own...day in and day out!
Yesterday was a wonderful day!!!

That is great that you can get by without the medication. I am sure it is hard to do, but better than that medication hang over. I hope you continue to have good day!

You amaze me my dear Jan. You can find the bright side even when things don't end up perfect. I am glad that you were able to get out of bed yesterday and get a little exercise. I am sorry that you fainted twice, fell and got a headache. I am proud that you were able to get through it without heavy meds. Good for you for having the strength and courage to do that.
I am so glad that you considered it a wonderful day. I hope that you will have more good days...without the fainting spells.
Thanks for visiting me. I love getting a comment from you sweet friend.
I am sending love, Lura
Way to go, Jan! Except I hope you don't have anymore fainting or migraines. That is not so good. I'm glad your spirits are up.
