Excitement! Try Not to Explode

Hello blog reading people!

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.

  1. 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!
  2. 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. :)
  3. I updated my wheelchair page since it was out of date. You should go check it out, there's a picture and everything.
     
  4. 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...
That's all I can think of for right now. If this post makes no sense, I'm sorry, I'm in a lot of pain right now and am using blogging as a distraction until I can take something. :)

As always, thank you for reading/praying and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
