Ibuprofen… Fioricet… MRI?
Apparently, yes. Unlike most normal people who get a headache and are done with it, *I* get to have a headache and then an MRI to find out what’s causing it. Yay? Mostly this is because my neurologist is booked up until November and really, nobody thinks it’s a good idea to let headaches go [...]
Headaches make me stabby
My October is gearing up to look a lot like my July and my January before that. In other words, BUSY BUSY BUSY! Which, I keep reminding myself, is a good thing, because all that BUSY means there’s business to be done and money flowing into the company. And since every other news story still starts with [...]
And then there was a crash
Alternate title: As if last week wasn’t craptastic enough. Alternate, alternate title: Why you should always carry enough insurance. Friday night, Brian and I headed out to hang up signs for the big tag sale we held this weekend. Neither of us grabbed cell phones, I didn’t even grab my purse – we were heading [...]
No no no no – I don’t wanna be sick again!!
First off, apparently CPSI blog parties do wonky things to my internet. Last year, I was out of town on the day of the first CPSI blog party and my internet went out at home, rendering me incapable of checking email. Yesterday, we lost our internet the day AFTER the CPSI blog party. Coincidence? Probably. [...]
Like mother like daughter
“Mommy, my head hurts. Right here,” she says, pointing to a spot in the center of her forehead. I quickly think about possible triggers: hot day, dehydration, allergy season to beat the band. “Abby do you feel like your nose is stuffy?” She gives a contemplative sniff. “No, mommy.” “Do you feel like you need [...]
Into the tube
I went in for my 6-month follow-up MRI today. The last time I was in an MRI tube (the only time, come to think of it) I was being wheeled in on an ER gurney after having had a migraine-related cerebllar infarct the night before. It was the MRI that told me why the room [...]
I think it’s the plague…
I have a pretty self-destructive pattern I’ve followed my whole life. Basically, I work and work and work until I am physically incapable of working anymore. Then I collapse in a pile of sickness. Sometimes that sickness is a migraine. Sometimes it’s a hacking cough. Sometimes I just literally can’t get out of bed for [...]
Off With Their Heads!
Alternate title: It’s Dead Jim.Alternate alternate title: Coming Around Again. We are so going around the sickness merry-go-round in this house. The little germ factory brings grossness into the house, feels sick for a day or 2, and then lovingly passes it on to her grownups who promptly DIE of a common cold. For example. [...]
Moving On Up
But not to the East Side. (Brownie points if you’re the FIRST to get the reference. I’ll wait .) We are declaring House Hunting Season 2009 OVER and DONE. And EXTRA DONE. We looked at 52 million houses, both to buy (can you say HGTV “Before” special?) and to rent (holy granite countertops, Batman!). And [...]
The NEW Commandments
To those who live by the new No-Fun-Anymore-Diet, these be the rules by which thou shalt live all the days of thy life (except where there be fresh apple-cider donuts). Regarding “Low Salt” – Thou shalt not taste any of thy food evermore. Everything thou eatest shall be made with low sodium and thou shalt [...]
