Things are looking up...

This has been quite the interesting past two weeks.  I must say that God is good and God is faithful. This whole ordeal started April 23 when I got sick with a virus.  Unfortunately, it was a virus that looked alot like I might have meningitis.  I finally got sent to urgent care by my doctor who sent me to the ER on Sunday, April 25.  While there, they worked me up for viral meningitis by doing a spinal tap.  That test came back negative, which was fantastic!  Although, I did get a spinal headache after having the tap.  I threw up and could not lift my head off a pillow for 9 straight days, all the while missing work. I have been to the ER 3 times in 9 days.  I have taken so many different pain medications that I was drooling out the side of my mouth but still had a headache.  Finally, yesterday, an anesthesiologist worked me in for a blood patch in his outpatient clinic.  I am a little sore after the procedure, but praise God my headache is gone.  I am still a little afraid to move because I'm afraid my headache will come  back.  I am so grateful for my husband and his care that he provided.  I was truly there for me when I needed it most.  I could not have gotten through it without him.  I am also very grateful for a good friend of mine who drove me to the doctor and brought food, even though I couldn't eat.  I am also grateful to my parents who are taking time out of their busy schedule to come and help me get my house and life back in order.  What an ordeal something  like a headache can make.  I have, hopefully, my last MD appointment today for a while.  I plan to stay healthy.  I think that will be my goal for May.  I hope everyone is doing great and sorry my blogs have been so lame lately, but unfortunately I have not been up to par...
