No More Headaches!!
YEAH!!
Finally after four days of headaches, today I finally got some relief. Knock on wood. The Nitro stuff is TERRIBLE. I was really sick most of the weekend. I still don't know how I got through work on Saturday. They are almost migrane status without the throwing up part. Although I thought that would make me feel better. I came home and went to bed. The cousins came over to watch the BYU game - which they won, by the way- by a point. But I didn't get to watch ANY of it! Bummer! But GO COUGARS!I started taking 1/4 of tablet two times a day instead of half a tablet. Like the Dr suggested if the headaches persisted. I decided to take it at night so I could function during the day. But the headaches would keep me up so it was a toss up. But I think now I'm adjusting to it. The dr was pretty level headed about it, I wasn't happy about taking it AT ALL. But it's like he and Carl said either the pill or I keep having the spasms! If you would have asked me that on Saturday I would have said I'll take the spasms!
I am finding out that this is somewhat common with someone who already has a heart condition such as mine. The spasms can occur between the hours of midnight and 8am. It's a certain type. It's mostly controlled by the medication. The Calcium blocker and the nitro.
In other news - I know I'm sick of my health stuff!
I ran into another dear old friend. I haven't seen in almost 15-16 yrs. When I was in Jr High down here, I took Special Ed classes for a few years to help me through some hard stuff. I only did it for a year or so. But I stayed good friends with my teacher - Mrs. Bethel. While she was teaching me and thereafter I would babysit her kids! She told me today her daughter Erin is married and has three kids and Mathew is married and has a kid of his own. Now if that didn't make me feel old! And she is now retired!! I was tickeled to see her. I was actually getting ready to check her out and instantly she recognized me! It was a fun little reunion!
Oh I am also thrilled with the Packers and the Jets win! Brett Favre didn't do too bad in a green and white!





That's because it's the GREEN that brings good luck! ;-)
