Happy Harmony Update! #Health #Amputee #Rehab #chronicpain

Posted on Posted in AmWriting, Health, Story Empire, Work In Progress Tagged with ,

Hi everyone!

As many of you will have noticed, I was AWOL yesterday.

I had a very good reason … and here’s a ‘little’ clue:

Harmony's new prosthetic leg with purple glittery butterflies

The rehab is going to take a while, but getting out of the wheelchair even for a few minutes now and then is fantastic! I’m so happy. The Fentanyl pain patches are helping immensely, though the walking will remain painful until my muscle strength rebuilds. However, the meds lessen that so I can plug away at it, carefully. Here’s where patience and common sense kick in.

On a less happy note, we haven’t found anything to help with the bouts of fatigue. BUT … less pain and more sleep = more energy for sure. The pain patches keep me on the dopey side, so I have to double check everything I do.

In summary, I feel as though I’m finally getting back on my feet … pun intended 😉

Aaaannd, in even better news, I’m writing again. Except for when life gets in the way, I’m offline completely every Tuesday and Thursday and dedicating those days to writing. This week has knocked that on its head, but I fully intend to hit my stride again next week.

So, apart from the wonderful daily Bad Moon Rising posts, our thrice weekly Story Empire posts, and the exciting release days for the marvellous Harbor Pointe book release days, I’ll still be quiet and not around as much as I used to be, but for happier reasons.

Thank you all for sticking with me throughout all of this and as it continues. You mean so much and make it all worthwhile. Hugs 🤗💕😊🦋
