A Different Anniversary

One year ago today.... just 365 days ago, I was lying in my bed and couldn't move.

I couldn't sit up because my head hurt too badly.

I couldn't eat because I couldn't keep anything down.

Tomorrow marks a year since I ended up in the hospital because of it.

I wish I could say that the headaches are gone.

They are NOT!

In all honesty, I missed church on Sunday because my head was hurting so badly that everything was spinning.

I have actually had a headache EVERY DAY for the past year. Some days, it's tolerable. Other days, I cry a lot.

I am so tired of it, that I finally called this morning and made an appointment at the doctor's office. I have no idea what she's going to do.... probably send me for the same tests I've had 5 times already.... but maybe they can figure it out.

My surgeon suggested, when I went in for my 2 year post-surgery visit there, that I ask my doctor about Botox.  That has shown some promise for migraines.  (But.... the question of all questions is if my insurance will cover it or not!)

A friend of mine suggested that I get some specific part of my ear pierced.  I haven't worn earrings since 2008..... the holes are still there.... but I'm not sure I want to get MORE holes in my head!  LOL (Besides, I work at a daycare where kids like to grab your hair and ears..... I don't need them pulled off!) (Another thing.... I HATE NEEDLES!!!) 

So.... today is the anniversary of the day I got really sick! 

I have NO intentions of being that sick ever again! 

I just thought it should be mentioned that although I'm better....some things never change. :) 

What anniversaries have you celebrated recently?

School Open House

So...tonight we went to the Open House for Chasity's school! WOW! The PTO stuff was absolutely fun! Then... Then, we found out who Chasity's teacher is. I have spoken to a few teachers over the summer, and I have opinions of a couple of them. I knew who I wanted her to have and I knew who I did NOT want her to have. So... So, we went to the lady with the list. Chasity said, "My name is Chasity..........Who is my teacher?" She found her name. She followed the line across the page. She said, "Chasity......... You have Ms. L." I was so excited! It was exactly who I wanted her to have! I squealed with excitement and jumped up and down while clapping. I know....it may sound stupid, but if you can get your kid in a class where you and the teacher speak the same "language", then it will work better. I had waited for 3 days to find out who she had....the teachers found out on Wednesday, but couldn't tell me. :( Then when I got there ton...

Normal Week

It seems as though we may be in for a “normal” week here in NC.   I haven’t listened this morning, but I don’t think we are expecting any of that strange white precipitation (snow) to fall this week.    The Princess should be getting her softball info this week.  We should know (for sure) the coaches and the team name.  My brother should be one of the coaches, but we never know until after the draft.    Girl Scout cookies (and booths) are in full force.  I feel as though my world is surrounded by them!  And…that could be because they are in 2 of the main rooms of my house—living room and dining room.   I have a couple of meetings this week, so that makes it even more normal.   The countdown for everything is still on.  As soon as we get our softball schedule, we will get to add more things to it… like first practice and first game!    As long as we keep doing what we are doing right now, this w...

NC Weather

Image
In the state of NC, we rarely get that BIG SNOW. They used to be more common.  We used to get one huge snow a year.  Now, we are lucky if we get one every 2-3 years.    However, schools are cancelled, delayed, or let out early for weather all the time here.  We haven’t heard anything today about our schools, but we shall see.    It’s all about waiting to see what happens.  Sometimes, I think that God is sitting up there showing us HIS sense of humor.  He lets the weather people tell us whatever they want to tell us.  Then HE decides to have some fun with the weather.  (That’s just my 2 cents!)   Countdown Updates: 0 days until I pick up cookies!  TODAY is the day! They are still calling for “weather,” but they are pushing back the start time to later today. My scheduled pick up time is 6pm. So, we shall see.  It should be fine. Tony is going to drive me there so I’m not having to do it alone.  Then ...
