I am proud of myself... Today will mark day 10 with out opiates. ANyways last night after our kids were in bed we decided to start a bonfire in the backyard... I thought that a little gasoline might help get fire started...dumb idea... trip to the er with burns on both of my legs.... ANyways first thing they said to me was lets get you some pain meds.... I said no way no how I dont want any! EVen a few days ago I wouldn't have been able to say no.


Happy dance!

Oh yeah my burns are fine too and I learned a good lesson about the usuage of gasoline...

That's very impressive. How are you managing the pain?

I ignore the pain... I have real pain, real intense chronic pain, which is where all these problems stemmed from. I never took the opiates in the beginning for fun I took them out of necessety. Did I abuse the system, no, did I misuse my medication sometimes, was the pain real, yes. The plan is to ignore the pain long enough to get pregnant, make it through the prgnancy, have another beautiful baby and then I will get the surgery that I need to take away my pain.... During that process will it be difficult to ignore my pain, probably.. I wasn't taking percs every 4 hours or morphine every 3 just for fun ( although I preface that by saying after two years that became my new normal) I know I can ignore pain especially when the prize at the end of the road is a child, my child. I will not take a single pill that may harm a baby , when I become pregnant. I will not play russian roulette with a life I created. NOw I am just rambling. I have a lot on my mind tonight... Oy.

We are proud of you! Shortly after I stopped drinking I was in a bar playing some darts (drinking cokes now) and someone offered to buy me a shot. I was surprised to find myself saying no without even thinking about it. It was like, why would I want that? Im not a drinker. Anyway, we all have it in is. Lots of love.
