Today was a very long day. I received a call last night from the doctors’ office saying they needed to do more blood work today. Here I promised gram she could sleep in this morning only to later tell her later that she couldn’t. So it was another early morning for us. The VON showed up here at 9. I immediately started calling mom because I knew dad was going to be away today. I called 4 times before she answered the phone. I could tell by her voice she was not impressed that she had to come again and stay with gram. On my way to town again I went with the blood work again. Just as I was about to head home my cell phone rang. It was the receptionist asking if I could come in this morning while I was still in town. I made an appointment yesterday to see why I keep getting these headaches and such facial pain. I rushed over to the office only to hear I have inflammation in my jaws and I have to go on this special diet and pills. I am not allowed to chew my cheeks or grind my teeth. I laughed at her and said that is something I cannot stop. This condition is from, stress. Can you believe that?! The doctor also told me if it didn’t clear up I will need botox injections and she said it hurts like her. Isn’t botox for wrinkles?? My doctor has this exact same condition. I asked her also about the weight gain and that too is from stress. So I guess I am really stressed lol. The doc gave me a prescription for Naproxen and I have to go back to the office in 10 days. Truth be told, I don’t know how I am going to quit chewing on my cheek or grinding my teeth. I do it all the time, especially when I get anxious or nervous. I mean how do you just stop something like that? I also have to eat this soft food crap and I’m not even allowed to have a full yawn. Have you ever heard of such silliness? My jaws are paining something awful where she pressed. I nearly jumped off the chair when she pressed there, it’s that sore. This is one of the migraine triggers, inflammation in your jaw. I stopped at the pharmacy to get my prescription and decided to call mom telling her I may be a little late. Well she was not impressed and shouted in the phone I have things to do at home. I said FINE, go home and I hung up!! It annoyed me so bad that I felt like crying. I was gone for 2 hours, that’s it and she just couldn’t handle it.

Gram is depressed. I think it’s from all these nurses coming in and taking blood plus these early mornings. Gram is so not use to getting up at such early hours and the lady needs her rest. I didn’t say anything about her sleeping in tomorrow because I don’t know if she can tomorrow yet. It was late when the doc called last night so we shall see!!. I took my Amitriptyline tonight and I am going to continue with them. I went off them but I think its best I go back on them. I hope maybe they will help distress me a bit or at least I am hoping they will. I am very tired today and down in the dumps. I made another trip to town this afternoon because gram wanted her checks cashed and I am so completely beat. It also could be the anti depressants or the Naproxen that I am feeling so tired I guess.......
