Update, Hospital Pics, Thank You's

Hi, healers! Before I give some cloudy ketamine head updates (forgive me), I wanted to let you know you can start asking questions again on my formspring homepage about the ketamine, etc. I am feeling strong enough to start answering them.

Here are a few pictures:

 From right before the ketamine started:

Right after they tapered me off on the last day, and I bullied the nurse into letting me shower. And my first meal in five days (lots of veggies):

When we got back to the hotel I ate everything that wasn't nailed down. Vegan went out the window for an hour as I refueled with some calorie dense foods. That's a peanut butter pie. I earned it. Back to vegan to detox from all the meds and heal:

Pat was kind enough to take Shorter for the week. THANK YOU xoxoxo:

And Addie said hi to me in a picture before the ketamine got started:

I received so many wonderful gifts, flowers, cards, prayers, and loving messages from my friends, family, and internet buddies, so I need to share my DEEPEST thank you's to you all. I couldn't have survived this one so well without you.

I got discharged Saturday night, and I am off ALL narcotics, which is a miracle since meds like fentanyl weren't helping me. I will only get better with the ketamine boosters I have in the next few weeks, outpatient, of course. I had to realize that only Spirit could heal me, and I believe that is making all of the difference. It was my last spiritual awakening, and it happened RIGHT before I went into the hospital (I'll write more on this when I feel strong and clear-headed) Doctors and meds became my all powerful God, what I looked to for the cure. Now, I know that Spirit heals using doctors and meds as his/her tool.

I will keep you posted as I continue to become stronger. I went out a little yesterday to test the waters, maybe did a little too much :-) Today, I totally rest.

It still hasn't hit me that I am off all the pain killers. I feel better than I did on my best pain killer moment off all the meds! It's a miracle from God, and I am trying to get over the surreal-ness of it to intergrate it into my new life. It will take a few weeks, I'm sure.

We shall see what the future holds, but I am sure my pain will become less and less and that this is permanent healing. I am continuing to regulate the rest of my body with Spirit's love and my holistic doctor so this NEVER happens again. I received new blood work and it looks as if I am healing my thyroid and adrenal myself, now producing some of my own hormones.

Here is to a healthy future!

I love you all xoxoxo

Happy Healing!
