Day 5......

Happy Memorial Day to those who are and have served in the services first of all!!

And on to the 5th day of spinal headache hell. I can't sit up for very long, as it starts to throb and feels like a freigh train's acomin'. It hurts my head to cough (and I still have congestion from the dang bronchitis), it hurts to bend over or lean in any direction, and to put any pressure like going to the bathroom. lifting myself out of the chair or off the couch, even sitting hurts trying to lower myself into a chair. I am afraid when I call tomorrow and talk to the Neuro, he is going to want me to go in and have a blood patch done. I do not want to do it because the cost, but life sucks when all you can do is sleep or lay down flat, especially when I have 2 small kids and homeschool them!!

Day 4 of Pain....uggghhhh!!

Well, I have still got that horrid spinal headache. I am on day 4, since Thursday and it is vicious. I was in church this morning and was almost brought to tears, and no it was not that moving of a service, just that painful of a headache. I was even getting a little lightheaded feeling from the intense pressure and was kinda worried I would not be able to drive. I was lucky to be just around the corner from the house though. When I came home, i fed the kids quickly and laid on the couch. Of course this helps, then I zonked out for 2.5 hours (Ken had taken the kids to Oklahoma), but it really needs to stop. I forced myself up to go to the store, we needed groceries and I had to do it when the kids were gone becuase of this headache. I made it through, and now I am back home, laying on the couch again.
