I've been keeping a pain journal. Everyday I write down which pain medicine I took, when, and why. It seems that since my major surgery in January pain has been a constant everyday. What I do is wait it out until it subsides and then make the most of the few hours a day when there is no pain. Where is the pain? Well that depends. Lately it is in my abdomen and pelvis. Two different pains for two different reasons. The abdomen pain started a month ago and led to a four day stay in the hospital. The doctor's are not exactly sure of the cause, but a viral intestinal infection seems to be the most likely culprit. This can take several months to get over. Everyday I have a burning sensation that does not go away until the right combination of pain medicine gets going in my system. I'm setting in bed now, with a heating pad on my stomach, waiting to feel better. Once I do, I plan to do some painting.
Henry is back in school and I have afternoons to myself. There are several creative projects in the works. Some things I have started and a couple I'd like to start. I'm working on zetti collages, zentangle birds, and some fast abstract pears. I'll upload the works in progress, once the pain is better. I also want to try this daily index card challenge for a month and some "fearless" painting. Both the index card challenge and "fearless" painting came from browsing around artistic blogs. I'll get the links once I figure that out. Until then...
from under the heating pad,
peace.
