It seems sitting in a very loud, packed hospital for five hours caused such stress that I have a whopper of a headache this morning.

This county system thing is horrible if you have to see a hospital-based doctor. There just isn't ROOM for everyone to sit and everyone is packed in like sardines. I texted Mom "Give me your poor, unwashed, huddled ( Read more... )

The long post with complaints and stuff is probably not going to be forthcoming. However, I do want to say that the echocardiogram (cardiac ultrasound) that my neurologist ordered was done today and there is no evidence of heart defect that could cause the headaches. While this is a good thing in that I don't have a heart problem, it does mean that ( Read more... )

For the most part, I did not have a good St. Patrick's Day. I had a crappy night's sleep - this on a new memory foam mattress topper WTH? - falling asleep at 12, then waking up at 6, 7, 8, and giving up at 9. Took a small nap from 11:30-1:30 because I had to. Been up and cranky the rest of the day ( Read more... )

1. Got my shots on Monday. The doctor still is awesome. PA, not so much. OMFGWTFBBQ does getting injections in facial nerves HURT. Like, getting an ice pick shoved in your eye, painful. I actually made indentations in my palms from where my nails dug in while I was trying not to squint. Will I ever quit complaining about how much this hurts? Yes, ( Read more... )

Slept most of today. For some reason woke up at the ungodly hour of 7:45 this morning and stayed up to read more Watchmen for about an hour before being able to go back to sleep. Then I slept fitfully until about 4 when I finally decided to get up. Bad idea. I'm cranky as hell. Mainly because I'm tired and still super sore. I was also hungry and ( Read more... )

Check out my Twitter entries for today (TBC=to be continued):
-after sleeping most of the day again, I decided to go downstairs to the kitchen. I had weird vision after I put on my glasses. Thought TBC
-I was seeing funny as a side effect of my new psych med. Ended up slipping AGAIN and sliding down the stairs AGAIN. Ouch x100. Turns out TBC
-I ( Read more... )

MY BOOKS CAME IN THE MAIL!!! YAY!!!! Finally. I was just about to go insane. I kept jumping from book to book unable to settle on something to read for the week and a half it took my books to arrive. I didn't really want to start a new Stephen King novel (my choices were Four Past Midnight and The Tommyknockers), because I thought it would be too ( Read more... )

So, as y'all know, I've been up all day. Tried to take a little nap late afternoon. No go. Mom's being wonderful and stopping on her way home to bring me a burger and fries from Whataburger. Yum ( Read more... )

Woke up at 8 FREAKING O'CLOCK this morning. After getting to bed at 3. Yeah. And, naturally, I couldn't go back to sleep for more than 15 minutes. Freaking sleep hygiene. So, it turned out that Mom went with Sis to her appointment, and then Sis took Mom to work. This worked out well for me and Mom, since that allowed me to take Mom's car to the ( Read more... )

So, according to my calendar on livejournal, I haven't made a single post since Christmas Eve. Sorry about that. I seem to have slipped into a black hole. A.K.A. super massive depression. Long story, but for a while I just didn't want to interact with the world at all. Not even you guys. Which really sucks, I know. I was basically scared to turn on ( Read more... )
