Hi all,
woke to another beautuful day and from my point of view each day is wonderful
Today - another significant milestone - I get to change the dressings on my head, WOW WOW. please understand that ny head feels like there are an army of ants moving across the shaved scalp so all I want to do is scratch like crazy, Poor darling Michael is fearful that I will bust the head wound. Not a chance - it is wrapped so tight that there is no getting to it ( untill today)
Yesterday, I got my drip out. WOW WOW and yesterday as well, I got my device. YEAH YEAH This currently is programmed to simple settings only ie only Peter Silburn and his team can dial it up and turn me on. Visions of the Manchurian candidate, are not inappropriate. I can imagine Michael with the device wanting to " turn me on" - OK OK iget it, not appropriate for a family blog, but somewhat hiliarious anyway. on - i'm free and normal, off - I'm frozen like a stone, on - I can sing and dance , off -I just sit there expressionless. On- I can play music (OK now I am getting carried away)
It really is one of lifes little miracles and I am so glad to be born in an age where this is possible
One of my silent concerns pre-op was that now there would be no excuses. I would have to participate and to a lifelong introvert, this was a concern, No promises now, but I suspect that I will want to join in , grasping life with both hands, kicking and screaming as I ride rhe roller coaster.
Love to you all
Carmel
