"Anything in any way beautiful derives its beauty from itself and asks nothing beyond itself. Praise is no part of it, for nothing is made worse or better by praise." - Marcus Aurelius

(Painting by Thomas Cole - Dream of Arcadia) Some days when I grimace in pain, my neck is contorted, areas of my head throbs due to what shouldn't be in my head, etc. Yes: I do take required medicine. Yes: I do lay in a position that I find comfortable to ease the pain as much as possible. What else do I do? I try to meditate. Through the tears that sometimes escape my eyes due to the extremity of what I deal with, I try to bring myself to comfortable and serene settings away from it. I think of scenes like these: Beautiful scenes like these with fresh air, peace, and quiet. We can all wish for such serenity, huh? #goals #painmanagement #meditation #migraines #frontallobe #positivethoughts #positivethinking #powerthrough #neurology #ThomasCole #19thcenturyart (at Friendswood, Texas)

This is my spinal fluid. Yes, I had a spinal tap done today. Between now and 6:30PM CST is crucial. If I get a low pressure headache bad enough, I have to go back to the hospital and receive a blood patch on the point of entry. The entry point being where they tapped into my back...3 friggin' times until they were finally able to get fluid. Yes, my back is WRECKED! So please, extra positive thoughts and vibes needed 'til past the critical point. Thank you all in advance! P.S. - Got past the 1st low pressure headache...mind over matter! #painmanagement #spinaltap #lowpressureheadache #spinal #neurosurgeon #neurology #fightthepain #fightpain #spinalfluid (at Memorial Hermann)
