All I have to say

All I have to say about how I am doing, is when the nurses tell you that a headache from a spinal tap is worse than a hangover, worry. I’ve never had a hangover but can imagine. And now that I am in excruiating headache pain I would never drink alchohol let alone get another spinal tap! Ironically, to relieve the horrendous headache the doctor orders me to drink lots of caffeinated products and water. I never drink caffiene. Ever. So I have been getting shaky after every can of mountain dew and still having headache. just sent Dean off to the pharmacy to get caffiene pills. no one believes me when I tell them the doctor said to take caffiene, but its true. This whole thing sucks. I take birth control and dont drink caffiene to avoid ovarian cysts, my neurologist says stop taking birth control and drink lots of caffiene. So with any luck my headache will go away, but I may end up in severe pain next month w/ a cyst! how’s that work?!
Despite all of this depressing banter, it was a great thanksgiving. Tyler(my nephew) and Caleb thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Everyone in the family was there to help out and order me to go to bed to relieve my headache pain. It was wonderful, just wish all of that lying around had taken care of the headache. Dean and I both called out of work today. He’s got his nasty cold again. At least we have lots of leftovers so no one has to cook!!!
