fair

the fair is in town! i am hoping to go tonight, but it depends on what time my nurse comes. he didnt come last week and my dressing needs to be change. i hope i get to the fair tonight. i don't go on any of the rides, but i like look at the displays. and the food.

next weekend my uncle and cousin will be visiting. shelly and patrick when to come also. hopefully they will bring waldo with them.

yay! my nurse just called and said he'll be here in 30min (1 hour for him).

update

i'm back. i still have difficulty typing, but it has improved. it all began about mid-march. well last summer actually. i had migraines constantly. i saw a doctor for them and was put on medication. they cleared up about the time i took off for colorado. i had the about once a month. then about every two weeks. i passed out a couple of times and had a migrain for a couple days. my heart hurt constantly. i head to the hospital. don't know how i made it - i took all day getting there. i could only stand for a few seconds at a time. i dump a bag of cat food and managed to drive down, across the parking lot, and sit down in the er. after resting, i managed to check myself in. i asked were i was going and was told icu. that was all i remember. apparently i called shelly a couple days later. she called the parents who in turn called me. i asked them to come out. they did, although don't remember. krystal stayed with me, dropping out of school. apparently i put my puppy face and beg her to stay. beg her to stay in my bed too - even offered to go to her bed, but i was told no. 6 weeks in icu and i only remember the last 2. those were long weeks.

the next 3 weeks were spent at ummm... i forgot the name. i did physical therepy and stuff. one night i fell while using the comode. krys tried to pull me up, but couldn't. two "nurses did and i looked at where i fallen and saw blood. my exact words "oh crap!" now I spent the night at emergency getting a scan rather than getting my sleep. i fell one other time, but i was in therepy so that was fun.

finally i was released to go back home. i since graduated from physical therepy. i have another two months on the ivs and then i hopefully quit. i am doing it myself now. i am working part time at work - filing and stuff. my speech is not good so i can't do customer service yet. i went to texas with the family over the 4th. i was good. i had seen laurie and bekah since laurie wedding several years ago.

i got an apartment today. it's across the bay - sucky. it's about an hour away. but the rent cheap. i move on the 29th.

home

i'm home. for you don't - admitted to the hospital 9-10 weeks. can't type too - stroke. workin on it

sick of life

I am going through a bad spell at the moment. It's amazing to me how one week I can feel on top of the world and by the next I'll have crashed down. I was feeling so energetic and then about mid-last week I just suddenly got tired. Thursday & Friday I attempted the Curves workout, but didn't finish. I started getting hints of my next migraine and as a result, once again turned to my addiction of Tylonal and Vocodin. I haven't been able to eat in a few days due to insurance being a butt about my stomach medication. I just have no appetite and the whole digestive system hurts. Sunday morning I passed out... again. One second I was putting together my morning meds, the next I was hugging the counter for dear life. Then I was on my back staring at the ceiling and feeling oh so relaxed. Miss Kitty & Waldo were circling me in confusion. I now sport several bruises/welts on my chest although I'm not sure how they got there. This evening I managed to get a partial prescription on the stomach meds, so hopefully I will start eating now. I didn't even attempt Curves today although I really want to tomorrow. It has become something that I really look forward to each day.

To my sister on her BIRTHDAY!

Today is Krystal's Birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Krys turns 19 today. She's growing up fast - although my mom won't admit it. Two nights ago my mom called both me and Shelly in a panic because Krys had gone somewhere without her purse. So let us all hope that my mom realizes SOON that Krys is an ADULT.

Krys I want to say that you mean a lot to me. You've helped me throughout the years - unselfishly feeding me and cleaning up after me when needed. Quite the little nurse you can be :) You're in college now, and in a couple of years you'll even transfer out of state. You're finding your way in this world, but always know that I'm here for you. Enjoy your birthday today and do some KARAOKE!

Hurrah!

I have health insurance! I got my card in the mail today so tomorrow I am hitting the pharmacies.
