Happy Easter to you also @Eve7 i didn’t make it to church this morning, actually haven’t been to church in weeks. We are having an Easter Sunday church picnic, maybe I will go to that, although feel like it will be harder to avoid all the dreaded questions with it being a more social gathering.
im still really tired today, slept ok last night though and my chest is sore today, perhaps from coughing so much. It’s bothering me a fair bit.
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, processing, replaying things over in my head. I remember being on the ventilator, when I was becoming more and more conscious and aware of what was happening around me. They had weaned me off the sedation, but the machine was still breathing for me. They were looking at trying to wean me off, so they set it to not breath for me, and while I was awake I was doing fine, but every time I drifted back off to sleep, which was very frequently, I wouldn’t breath on my own. So they had to keep turning it back on. When I was awake… and it was breathing for me, I could feel it doing its work. It was a strange sensation. something that your body just does seemingly automatically. Like if you sit and hold your breath after a while you’ve gotta take a breath. But the machine did it for me.
community mh team came to visit this morning, that was good. They were nice.
we are now making chocolates for Easter. Just put the first lot into the fridge to set. D has been excited to make them for days.
