Awake...

I am now officially off of all medication...night and day! On Wednesday night I traded my bedtime dose of pain med for X-strengh acetaminophen. For the past few days I've experienced constant nerve firing in my foot and my body felt achy. This was intense when I tried to sleep. Yesterday, I had another day of motionless existence as I tried to keep from stimulating myself with movement or emotions!  As much as I wanted to take something last night, I really just wanted to be alive again. I woke up feeling different today, a little more focused and a lot more like myself!  My body feels good and my brain is starting to adjust to nerve firing going off in my foot. I've been able to use the crutches more to get around. I even sat at the table for breakfast and lunch (with my foot down) without my toes turning purple. The pain is still there but it just doesn't seem to matter because my brain is adjusting. For the first time since December 18th, I am AWAKE!
