The World According to Leslie

Since July 10th, I have been sick. I have been to the ER 3 times in 3 weeks. I have not been out of my house, except to go to the doctor, for 3 weeks. On Thursday of last week, I had to have a spinal tap done to see if they can figure out these headaches. On Saturday, I ended up at the ER again because my neck and shoulders were completely stiff and painful. They gave me meds that made me sleep all day. Yesterday, my neck and shoulders started feeling much better.  I can now sit up for longer than 20 minutes at a time. My headache is only at about a 3-4 instead of a 8-9. On to better news..... We have finally decided where the Princess is going to go to school next year. She has agreed to play softball again at the school. We are excited. We just have to make sure that she gets the classes that she needs to get into the IB program in the high school. I'm still working on finding a full time job, but if I don't, I can always be a substitute teacher again this year....

I don't know that I would say that this was the worst week of my life, but it does rank very high in the top bad weeks.  As I'm typing this, I'm actually in my bed. It hurts to get out of bed. Actually, I just got out of the hospital yesterday. On Sunday, I got really ill after church. My head was hurting and I felt like I was going to throw up. (Yep! I know..TMI!!) We went with my parents to Mooresville, and I did get sick...... 4 times on the way home.  The trip is only about 25 minutes if you don't have to stop. Monday, I tried to drive to the doctor's office, but I had to stop too many times because of being dizzy and sick that I turned around and came back home. Tony came home from work and took me to the doctor. They gave me a shot for pain and a shot for nausea. The nausea shot worked and I kept down a little food.  Then Tuesday arrived.....  I couldn't even sit up in the bed without getting sick. Mom, Dad, and the Princess took me to the hospital--...
