Sorry

Hey all sorry its been so long since I posted Jason got home on the 16th of September. I had my preadmit on the 21st and the surgery on the 29th. I spent the first day in the ICU which they thought at 4 am I needed a catscan so we get down there do it then proceeded to throw my red popcicle up on the nurse lol he wasn't to happy with me. I spent half of the next day in the ICU for that one I kept trying to tell them to give me something solid if they wanted me to stop throwing up but they wouldn't listen even when I got upstairs so I had hubby sneak me in something and Like Magic I stopped throwing up. On monday the 4th I tried telling them my period is like clock work and that I was late could I have a pregnancy test they said no don't worry its just the stress of the surgery I said fine and kept taking their meds. The doctor came in on Tuesday day 6 of my hospital stay and asked when I would like to go home I told him today if possible I wanted to get out of there since they weren't listening to me. I went home that afternoon at around noon and by three I was at walmart. Jason made me stay in bed on Wed but Thursday morning I took the pregnancy test at 8 am and by 9 am I was in my OB's office for lots of blood work and a med switch I was pregnant I called my NS and told his nurse and when I came in for my stitch removal the nurse who happens to be male asked if we wanted his bassinet and bouncy from their last baby it was the expensive kind rocks vibrates and plays music. (BTW I distinctly remember hearing the surgeon ask for my mornings pregnancy test on my way asleep and hearing the nurse say it was less then 1 but here is the kicker I didn't have any blood work or urine tests at all that morning the nurse lied) So as of right now not only am I recovering from the surgery I am also 7 wks pregnant

Great News!!!

I finally got the letter to bring jason home, and I got my MRI report yesterday no SYRINX! just six bulging discs I can handle that so onward to my head opening experiance bright and early on the 29th of Sept. at 7:30 AM I will be christened a Zipperhead. Will post more as I get it

Surgery Date

Well I saw the nuerosurgeon yesterday. He basically said "I'm not going to paint you a pretty picture of rainbows and flowers you have two choices you can go see the neurologist and get pain meds for the headaches but they are going to tell you just to get the Chiari fixed or we can skip that whole process and do the surgery. By no means is going to fix all of your symptoms but it will make you somewhat better." So on the 29th of Sept. I will be having my decompression surgery. I also had my full spinal MRI last night looking for Syrinx and for a tethered cord. The MRI guy wasn't supposed to tell me but he said he didn't see any Syrinx but he did see several bulging discs in my thoracic spine where that goes I don't know but at least now I can see the light at the end of this very long tunnel. I ask everyone for their prayers though not for me. It is going to be difficult road getting my husband home from Iraq in time and my kids know that something is up. Please keep my family in your prayers mine have already been answered.

Worst Days

This is turning out to be one of the worst days ever. My head is pounding my hands are shaking and I am having to rely on my husbands supervision to help me get my son from school today. This really blows! I cannot wait to see the surgeon tomorrow and beg for this surgery I can't keep living like this

Weekend

Had a great weekend despite being sick. Saw my new nephew and man is he handsome. 8lbs 12oz. My brother Cody finally got to meet my 2yr old son conner which was a first. We haven't seen cody or his wife lindsay in nearly 3 yrs. Went out to my aunts church bazzar and I won a game of bingo and my cousin won my son Seth a 3ft tall stuffed bannana lol It was a great weekend and a long drive home but we survived lol

Sleep HA

Well I guess the sandman thought it was cool to skip my house last night oh well I'm still headed to San Antonio today I laugh in your face Sandman you won't keep me down

Interesting few days

Well the last few days have been very interesting. I have finally gone two days without a headache. On the downside when I took my walking test for school and was shaking by the end, but I did it. This cane thing is starting to make my shoulder hurt but I guess its a necessary evil to keep from falling flat on my face lol . My son decided he needed a hair cut at school yesterday he now has two bald spots on top of it. I had my Art Appreaciation test today and actually got a perfect score. I am so excited to head to San Antonio tomorrow. My nephew is on his way I can't wait till he is born and I get to see my brother that I haven't seen in nearly 3 years. So much to cram into such a little weekend. See you all on the flip side
