Catra,

You've been incredibly strong and you have a healthy baby!

The first time I had a Ketamine Infusion I started bawling (and laughing) because it was the first time I had been truly pain free in over 10 years. I think we tend to forget and minimize what we deal with every day, all day.

You've been coping with fewer pain reducing options than most of us, while undergoing both a pregnancy and the recovery from a C section, you now have the care of an infant, AND you've returned back to work.

Hopefully this is a temporary setback. You need to prepare yourself that life with a child inherently means there will be more things that come up, that are beyond your control.

You might find that you will need to be open to trying new meds or finding new coping strategies at some point. Whatever makes you the most functional for your family has to be your first priority.

Above all else, you're blessed to have her and she's blessed to have you!
