Recovery - Oh crap or oh snap?

Bright and early Monday morning, I arrived at the hospital for sinus and nasal surgery. I noticed beautiful signs from above, prayed, thanked and meditated. I convinced the nurses to let me take my boob rocks in with me. They taped black tourmaline and selenite around my wrist. It brought me joy knowing I would have them and my angels and my spirit dog with me.  My beautiful mama dropped everything to come to Chicago and be with me. She lovingly held space. She helped me go from a place of nervousness to peace. I went in knowing, without a doubt, that I was not alone and would be safe.  Everything went according to plan during the procedure.  When I awoke from the anesthesia, things felt unbearable. I was at a 10 on the pain and nausea scale. Ten hours after arriving at the hospital, I found myself back in my own bed where I recalled what had worked earlier and knew it was time to put those tools to good use once again.

Normally I stay in a pretty great head space. And when I falter, I use my tools and find my way back. In the weeks leading to the surgery, I felt pretty nervous. The last few days were especially nerve racking. I had been experiencing a roller coaster of emotions. I considered not going through with it. As a firm believer of the Law of Attraction - I know whatever I put out, comes right back to me.  I gave everything to get in the best head space pre-surgery. It worked. Iwanted to attract the desired energy from my surgical team. I wanted to manifest ease in my body and mind. I wanted to foresee the best possible outcome, including a seamless recovery. 

After the surgery, I was given another opportunity. As I started moaning and groaning -  I remembered I have a choice every step of the way. I can fight what my body is experiencing, let my mind get lost in the discomfort. Or I can accept it and use my beautiful brain as a tool to find ease.  I choose to see this as an opportunity to learn and use my tools. I learned that bendy straws are life saviors and that my bedroom is my sanctuary.  I remembered that nothing in the world is as comforting as my earth angel mama, dogs make great healing companions and my loving man is a true gentleman. I am so grateful for all the help, love and support I am surrounded with from my teams above and beside. A big "Thank you" to everyone who has reached out.
