I wish I could've had this procedure done on my shoulder weeks ago. The difference in energy levels is huge. Pain sapped so much from me. Now it doesn't hurt nearly as much. The pain was constant before, with big spikes any time I moved a little wrong. It woke me up many times during the nighttime.

My range of motion is somewhat improved. I can tuck my shirt in again. Hoping I'll be able to put my hair up in a bun again without heroic efforts. #FrozenShoulder #recovery

Pushing core workout lately and being rewarded with more mornings free of migraine.

I played deeply into my music the past few nights, awaking the next morning scrubbed of a migraine.

Having those who listen and witness allows me to let go of emotions when I am having them, not carry them around. Less migraine activity ensues.

This week I learned that my anxiety about others is entwined with a particularly evil symptom of religious trauma, I saw both but never saw hiw they were connected.

I can recognize it now. And the feeling of not needing to "save" someone is a really powerful emotion - or lack of one - that, today, I am thankful for contributing to a clear head and no migraine.

Also feeling self-assured that fixing failures in our systems look a lot more like treating a migraine than using quick-fixes and low-hanging-fruit.
