Finding something to be thankful for

Well, I'm not thankful for my new ward mate.  And not I'm not thankful for my swollen knees, from my overnight on a oxycodine drip.  Apparently my body doesn't like opiates.  I wasn't sure the epidural was actually doing anything, but now I know they really do work to lessen the pain.  I miss that creepy needle in my spine!  So I guess that makes me thankful for the one window with a pretty view.  It has the only fresh air in the ward.

    Hi Michelle - checking up on your blog this morning. Glad to read of small steps forward. I think that window is looking over the field where we sometimes take Varna for a walk. xx
