Cancer is in her liver and lungs and they need to see if it is in her brain…

How the hell did I do that?

Originally posted 2021-10-06 19:46:51. Yesterday morning I woke up in extreme pain. The pain was in the right part of my upper back that seemed to radiate thru to the front of my chest. It also went all the way down my arm into my fingers. I couldn’t lay down and get comfortable. The pain seemed to increase in intensity after 30 to 60 seconds. I tried to describe it to my husband as well…

The upside of pain

Originally posted 2019-02-28 11:55:27. I know you’re like “there’s an upside to pain?” My theory is that means things aren’t completely dead in there. I might feel pain but once I don’t that could lead to nothing, paralysis, no walking, no feeling the touch upon my skin. That my friends is why I said the upside of pain. Ok, so as you know I had a medical procedure done last Wednesday. It was an epidural…
