Last night was the first time that I can remember crying tears of joy. I had surgery on my lower back yesterday to relieve some pressure on the nerve that was causing pain and numbness in my left leg. I woke up about 3:30 am last night because my pain medication had worn off.
I lied in bed for a little while before I got up to re-up my medicine. I was drinking some OJ in the kitchen noticing that there wasn't much pain in my hip and leg where there had been just 24 hours earlier. I picked my left knee up and there was no pain. No pain. NO PAIN!!!
There was a rush of emotions, and then the tears came. All of the pain I was silently enduring for over six months was gone. I felt normal again. I know it is only one day, but I have hope that someday I will be able to feel normal again.
