Oh the pain! Yes, I'm in terrible pain from this latest surgery, but it is more than that...it is a one year culmination of months and months of varying degrees of pain that I am feeling now.
Almost every time I have been touched by doctors, nurses, lab workers, etc., it has caused me pain, mostly pretty awful pain.
To put it simply, I have had an overexposure to excessive pokes, prods, pricks and surgeries, and to give you just a small example, it took the pre-op nurse 4 painful failed attempts with a big catheter needle before the anesthesiologist was successful at placing my IV prior to surgery.
Am I developing Aphenphosmphobia- a fear of being touched? No, not likely. But my increasing irritability at being touched is one odd and disconcerting side effect I was not counting on after going through all this stuff.
Even my cats have been banished from the bed...one rogue claw is about the last thing I can take. :(
Please pray for me.
