Traveling pain

I kept a record for a week on pain patterns. On Sunday I raised the alarm that the painkiller wasn’t working. Pain reduced because of steroids. Today my wife visited my doctor and I was supposed to join her were it not for accidents on the stairs due to nerve pain. The doctor said that the pain was not due to cancer as it travelled up and down.

He had checked Yervoy records and there were rare cases where it had affected the nerves. He prepared a prescription for medicines to calm the nerve system, repair it, and suppress the related shooting and constant pain. I just took the pill after diner and b12 vitamin, which helps repair nerve cells. I will wait a few more hours until I can’t feel any of the pain which has ‘befriended’ me the last week.

Wish me the good fortune that the analyzing conversation between 2 angels (my wife and doctor) resulted in a clear image on which basis dr Namikawa could prescribe the right medicines. My ordeal of hopeless and endless nights in search of sleep has surely come to an end. 

Such a strong belief and conviction has helped me so may times in the lsat years. My prayers also were very specific this time. Where I usually pray for others in need, I have learned to ask for help by directly asking Jezus. That request, I believe, has giving me the power to joke to myself how many positions I tried in a night to find rest and remove the agony.

Now it’s just a matter of time and constant posture reminders. Hope has returned, not wishing for a quick recovery, but for steady irreversible healing. The light of angels protects me from gloomy thoughts and keeps me away from depression. I feel truly blessed!
