I hope I don’t jinx myself by saying I am doing better and have been out of hospital for almost one month.

I wouldn’t say I am all better. I still have pain but have started a new medication which must be helping.

They also increased my anxiety med which is helping a bit. I think I would say I am stable for now.

As well as the meds to keep calm I try to think positive thoughts like if I want to go to respite and have fun with friends I need to stop worrying about whatever I am thinking about. I find this helps also I try to remember to relax my self.

Drinking peppermint tea also helps to keep me calm. I also vent my feeding tube so the air can come out. I would say I am doing better and hope to keep it that way.
