2008 Day 339
dear blog,
the pain is now in week 10. i saw a neurologist yesterday. she prescribed neurontin. she definitely believes it's neurological. she has two theories. one is a thing i can't pronounce or spell, which we'll treat with medicine and will probably be with me forever. the other is an aneurysm. thus, i'm having a ct with angiogram or some such thing next monday down at abbot northwestern. it's not a typical angiogram and uses some sort of imaging. i don't really understand it, but it's not a standard ct and can't be done locally.
oh, and i'll still be using the percocet as well. i'm all drugged up.
the pain is destroying my life. for the most part, i sleep a lot more from the meds. i go to bed early, i take naps. when i'm not asleep, i'm either dopey from the meds or barely functioning from the pain. i haven't drawn at all. i took a break from FNS to draw fun factory and it hasn't happened because all my time is homework or pain. i'm missing a lot of work for all the doctor appointments. the pain makes me nauseous. it's just frustrating.
i really need a new icon... i haven't had glasses since april.
i'm having a new years party. if i know you, you're invited. just a warning, my parties tend to be rather nerdy. guitar hero, board games, etc. but it's fun nerdy. i sent out an email, but if i missed you, it wasn't intentional. just shoot me a message and say you're coming.
my dogs are doing really well. they actually sleep together now on my bed. sometimes, there's barely room for me. they play together all the time. dexter has really matured since i got dixie. he's much more confident. and i noticed that the way dexter treat me, like excited to see me, wants my attention, etc... dixie is that way with me and dexter. she's placed him in the same category. i think that means he's higher in the pack hierarchy now. which is good, because before, dexter saw the cat as higher in the pack than him.
dixie has come really far from the scared, abused, little dog we rescued. she now plays with toys and has even learned fetch. she loves to play with her ball. it really makes me feel good to see her blossom and grow like she has. i feel like i really did a good thing adopting her and saving her from being put to sleep. i always get the feeling she's just so happy to be part of a family.
