Hoy estoy pidiendo 1 respiración dedicada a mi dolor crónico diario. Se practica en muchas tradiciones, en este caso se atribuye al Budismo. Algunos llaman a esta práctica Tonglen. ¡Siempre agradecida!
One Breath
The Buddhist practice of Tonglen has been long practiced for the aid of suffering for one person and for the world. Here I ask for one breath to help me in my continued suffering. Thank you!
Pain
After my IIH VA Shunt surgery headaches and dizziness have returned. With a nicked nerve in the throat seriously damaging my vocal cords and impeding me from swallowing properly, I am quite frustrated. Yet, my old headaches returned, waking up in such pain again has really done me in. This chronic pain of pseudotumor cerebri coming back, on top of everything else is not something I ever expected.

22 Headache Update:
After my second Covid Pfizer vaccine I knew that I was experiencing lots more headaches than usual. Here is my experience. This is the beginning of what I was hoping would be an open discussion.
Welcome to my path to another surgery!
After a long time of resisting surgery, my body is giving strong indications (future video) that I need to go through yet another operation. I ask for all your support, positive vibes, and prayers (if you are so inclined) to wish me the best in this endeavor.
My plan is, with my hubby’s tech help, to give you as many updates as I possibly can. Please be aware that for the hospital’s privacy I will not discuss any names. Also, I will include a black screen at the beginning of any video that might contain possible sensitive material (bandages, etc.) I will not be videotaped with anything that is past a certain level of décor. This would simply be unfair to both of us, my privacy and your taste.
Again, thank you very much for all your support. I so appreciate your kindness, the love you send me, and all the support through all this years. Many kisses always!
