You all probably knew this already, but it's been awhile since I've done any bloggy stuff. I have decided to chance this by blogging right now. Aren't you excited? I knew you would be. Try to contain yourself, though, too much excitement might make you explode. It probably wont actually, but I think when it comes to randomly exploding one should always err on the side of caution.
Since we've gotten that taken care of, let us move on to other things.
- I have high speed internet and wi-fi!
This is a big deal for me, we've had dial-up for as long as we have had any sort of internet connection and now we are finally free of it! This means I don't have to sit at the main computer and battle the desk chairs that are so thirsty for my blood in order to blog or do other exciting online things. :)
Right now I'm chilling on the futon. Take that, evil desk chair! - My inner ear has finally sorted itself out. I don't remember how much was written about my inner ear getting all screwy, but it was an ordeal. I was really dizzy all the time and had a hard time walking or even staying on my feet, I would seriously randomly fall over because my inner ear refused to sort itself.
The worst though, was probably at night. I am a very active sleeper, I roll and spin when I'm having normal dreams and I thrash and kick and other violent actions when I have nightmares which make up 3/4 of my dreams. Moving around like that made my inner ear more confused and angry, so I'd wake up and feel very sick. I didn't sleep much and spent a lot of time in the bathroom hoping I didn't puke all my guts out. I was a dizzy and sleep deprived zombie, one of the main reasons I didn't blog any.
But, now my inner ear has gotten over itself and I can stand and walk without falling over...most of the time. :) - I updated my wheelchair page since it was out of date. You should go check it out, there's a picture and everything.
- Formspring is starting to enrage me by asking weird and random questions, so I'm probably just going to set up a different e-mail account or something for if people have questions. You may also send me pictures of Narwhals if you so desire,
I think that's most of the exciting stuff, so now it's onto the medical update stuff.
- As stated above, my inner ear has fixed itself and I am very excited.
- I have been completely taken off of my sleep-aid because I was having some pretty crazy hallucinations and almost set my bed on fire.
- I'm still seeing an acupuncturist and pain management therapist (I think that's her title, but I'm not positive) and they're helping somewhat.
- I am still being treated for chronic Lyme disease
- The chronic pain levels have gotten higher. Thanks to a misunderstanding and miscounting how many I had, I actually ran out of painkillers and lost control of the pain. The last time this happened I was in the hospital for a week, this time I just screamed all night, but after I have an uncontrollable spike like that, the pain is always higher and harder to manage. I am working on it, however.
- I have started a Smash Book for get well cards, well wishes, encouragement, etc. If you want to put something in there, mail it to me and I will glue it in there. :)
For people who don't know my address....I will get back to you on how to get things to me. I may have a P.O. Box address to give to you later...
As always, thank you for reading/praying and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
