Oh finally - Internet! Well let's see...we got home Saturday night at 9:30.
Sunday - stayed home from church, my siblings came over for lunch, which was great. The good thing about brothers is they marry sisters and they brought me long sleeve shirts since I left all mine in AL. Got to see my nephews. Sweet babies, I love them so. Then we went to see Bucky and Granny. It was a long day.
Monday - Laid on the couch. Watched movies and Big Bang Theory. MacLaren is my hero.
Tuesday - See Monday. Got my lab results back from blood drawn on Friday, and they were all normal.
Wednesday - So today I had my appointment with Dr. Maynard who is really Bucky's doctor. He's great. He took me seriously and he saw how we've been through the wringer trying so many things in the last month and how tiresome it is and how I can't wait any longer for an answer. He said, "It looks like your life has been hijacked." EXACTLY! So anyway, he's a great doctor and he asked lots of questions and spent a long time looking in my eyes and such. He really wants to rule out pseudotumor cerebri which is basically increased intracranial pressure which causes symptoms that mimic a tumor. I don't have of the visual symptoms, but it's our last best guess for the relentless headache that's not responding to anything. So anyway, he got me admitted to Vanderbilt so that I could be seen by a neurologist, have some tests run, and get stuff done, real quick, which I've been wanting for at least a week. Yay!
So I haven't gotten a balloon yet.... just so you know.
Ahhh! Interested to see how this works out. You are very persistent! I usually just take the medicine, throw it in the cabinet when I get home and continue on the same way I was believing there is nothing that can be done. Way to be pro-active! How long do you think you'll be at VU?
