I just want to go home...
It has definately been a long week so far. 9 and a half hour drive on monday. Long car rides= not fun. So tuesday i start my appointments. i go to the first one and the doctor is confused and makes all these new appointments for me. Finally i get out of there and ended up getting bloodwork done, then had a 2 hour MRI! My arm is all bruised from a woman putting the IV in bad...stupid nurses. I ended up going shopping last night at the mall right here. small mall, but compared to the Muskegon one, it wasnt too bad. Got a few pants and shirts...wahoo!
So today i wake up at 6 to go get my spinal tap done. Definitely hate spinal taps. it wasnt as horrible as i thought it would be, but nothing i would like to do again. The poking and prodding in my back didnt feel too great. but then it was numb and all i coudl feel was the fluids coming out and that hurt like a bitch! but i guess it was good, my spinal fluid pressure was normal. and they are doing about 6 tests with itand then we go from there. then i went to an ENT and they said my syst thing in my head has gone down almost completly because they couldnt see it on the MRI and so i probably wont need surgery on it anymore. so now they have no idea whats causing it. i geuss its a good thing that they havnt found anything seriously wrong with me, but i just want to get rid of this stupid thing. im homesick and am sick of this place. I just really miss being with my friends, and im really drained and stressed and i am sick of it all. dont get me wrong, mayo is amazing!! 16 buildings are a part of it and the one i am in has over 20 stories and they have food courts and shops and all this artwork everywhere...its awesome, but that feelign only lasts a few hours then you get sick of being in a hospital/clinic all day. well im going to get going, meds are beginning to knock me out. see everyone next week i hope!!!!
