There has been a lot of medical SHIT going on with me the past month. I went to the Eye Dr. for new glasses, like I mentioned before and ended up finding out I had swelling in my brain. Due to the headaches I told the doctor I was getting she insisted that I go to a specialist to look more closely at my Optic Nerve that they said didn't look "normal". I wanted to make an appiontment right away but my insurance didn't kick in until two weeks after. So I waited two weeks and made an appointment. I go to the eye specialist and they end up taking pictures of my optic nerve. I guess the way it looked worried them so they wanted me to get an MRI that same day. Again, due to my insurance not being set up completely because I had just gotten it that day, I had to wait until Monday which was only 3 days away. Getting an MRI I wasn't sure what kind of side effects there would be... especially because there was the chance I was pregnant. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I had gotten an MRI without checking to see if I was pregnant... Sooooooooooooo, I go to Wal-Mart and buy a test. I take it the morning after and BAM, I'm pregnant. To make sure I did everything right, I went and bought two more..bAM, BAM, all positive. I cried. I cried a lot. I wasn't sure how to handle being pregnant and I wasn't really looking forward telling my friends and family... I was worried they would be disappointed with me, AGAIN. So after finding out I was knocked up, I get the MRI the next day... There ends up being no side effects if I do the MRI without the dye being injected, so I choose to do that. The next day at work when I return, I end up puking my brains out all morning. I got nothing done all day and ate basically nothing. The next day I went to work, and I was sick AGAIN... I was so fed up with it I started to cry. Then I got a phone call from my FAmly Dr. He had told me that my MRI came out normal and that the next step was to do a spinal tap. Ugh. I heard those words and cringed. Next thing I know, I'm leaving work at 12 to go see the Doctor about having morning sick and then I go to the Hospital to get my spinal tap done. HOLY FUCKING GOD... I NEVER WANT A SPINAL TAP EVER AGAIN. This would make #2 spinal tap for me and yeah, I'm done. I cried and shook the whole time... what really sucked is that they had to stick the needle in twice because the first one wasn't long enough. I thought I was going to pass out right there. According to the Doctor that did the tap, my pressure seemed good, and the rest of the results they'd call back with.
So, thats what has been happening with me lately. And let me tell you thats only a LITTLE of what really is going on.
I'm pregnant.
I don't have a brain tumor.
I had two needles in my spine.
I can't sit down or stand without pain.
and p.s MRI's suck, but I got to listen to Bob Marley's Greatest Hits while I laid there. *grin*
I miss my friends... and I hope they aren't upset.
