I am healing well. I hate to admit this, but there is strong evident that the extent of my injury has been psychosomatic. In other words, that yes, there has been swelling and pain. But, I find it odd that it began feeling better within minutes of diagnosis. I did take the pain killer twice, switched to ibuprofen and have stopped that after one round. I still have minor swelling and a bit of pain. It is nothing like last week. It just seemed to be healing awfully fast.

I am very glad that asthma is under control. That can be quite scary and serious.

Update on the tree-fence fiasco. It was a different neighbor. This one probably won’t pay for repairs either. We won’t. I hope the landlord will. I just want the dsl back. I have some deadlines and I use the internet all day every day, except Sunday, for work. Right now, I’m using my phone as a hot spot.

I’m glad your hubby is handling tree issues. I have learned to step back and let mine just handle all the contractor negotiations etc. I not only overreact but I’m sure my blood pressure increases. As far as the psychosomatic illness, it may not be! When I had the cornea pain in my eyes there were two kinds, peripheral and centralized. Perisometric came directly from the corneal nerves. Centralized means when there was nerves so damaged that the brain did not get signals - it filled in what was previously there, pain. So it came from the brain but was real, too real because it was more intense by far!

Medicine is learning a lot more about how the brain deals with pain, and probably lots of other things

Never underestimate the power of prayer.

Glad to hear you are feeling better Jemian.

Better this week is great, maybe better yet next week.
