What, me worry?

I’m guessing only those of us old enough to remember the joys of reading MAD magazine will get my photo reference here, but hey, I thought it was cute. Anyway, I had to take my friend to the emergency room again for her headache, (it got really bad yesterday), and while I was sitting there …

Is it morning?

Feeling a little “cracked” this morning. I woke up much earlier than I should have. Partly because I needed to take care of some necessary bodily functions, partly because mom was already up making noise, and partly apparently because the sun was up. I am tired. I guess that’s good in light of the last …

Compliance

I try really hard to be in compliance with what my psych wants. I do. I work hard to keep the lines of communication open and let her know what’s going on. One of the biggest problems I run into is that the clinic I go to has a three day turnaround for messages. This …

Out of time

I slept in this morning thinking that it was Saturday. OOPS! Everyone in my family knows that I have therapy at noon. EVERYONE. It’s in the calendar. It happens every week. Did they wake me up when I was sleeping at 11:15? NOPE! Thank goodness my friend texted me at 11:20. I was out of …

I wasn’t ready

So I’m all cozy about ready to head off to sleepy land when my friend who has been in the hospital for a week calls me and says they are discharging her today. Thankfully, our mutual friend is at the hospital and can bring her to my house because I am not allowed to drive …

Morning

When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out? This morning I had an endoscopic ultrasound. The doctor wanted to do it because I have had pancreatitis so many times. I have had one done before, and nothing bad happened then, but not with this doctor. I had not met …

So grateful

I am so thankful for my friend who has been staying here and for my family. I am so sick today. My friend has a headache that will not quit. She has been in the emergency room twice for it. She talked to her neurologist today and he put her on some steroids, so I’m …

14

I got 14 hours of sleep! It’s some kind of miracle! I talked to my psych yesterday about how things have been at my house and how I haven’t been sleeping. She agreed that I needed sleep and prescribed me something on a short term basis to help me relax at night to help me …

Breathe

I am remembering to breathe. I had to take my friend to the emergency room last night because she had a pounding headache that we couldn’t stop. It was not really a migraine and not really something that I felt like we could ignore since she has had a stroke in the past. Thankfully, the …

Six hours!

Hey, hey, hey! Guess who got SIX whole hours of sleep?? This girl! I am so excited! I might get even more tonight. Not sure yet. I was hoping for a little more, but my friend came and woke me up because she has a blinding headache. I understand migraine so I am not mad. …
