Sorry I've been away....

Sorry to al of my friends here on Gather.  I have had to take a vacation off of the computer.  I was beginning to forget what the real world was like.  Not like Lebanon, Mo is the real world compared to most places, but anyways.

Anyways, heres everything that has went on since I was on last. 

I started my Internet/Gather vacation without so much as a notice.  Seeing as how we forgot to pay the phone/internet bill.  So, no home phone or internet for 1 week, until we got it re-hooked up.  Guess we will not be forgetting to pay our bills again!  LOL  Then trying to catch up on all of the surveys before they expire, & all the other emails that I get in my personal email inbox.  In 5 days, I had 1000 emails.  Some from family/friends, but most from survey sites.

I have been going to the doctor every week for 3 weeks for regular check ups on me & the baby.  So far, so good. 

I had to go to the emergency room this week though.  My doctor is on vacation from last tuesday until next wednesday.  So, anyway, I was having a terrible migrane.  It started out as just pain in my left eye then everything started looking black.  Head started pounding/throbbing/beating.  I finally took some Tylenol, helped very little.  Unable to eat anythng because my head was killing me.  So, I finally pass out because of the pain.  I wake up friday morning with non-stop beating/pounding/throbbing, confusion, stumbling when walking, & severe nausea.  I start in trying to call any doctor that I have seen to avoid going to the ER & having that huge bill to pay.  No such luck.  None of the doctors that I have ever seen are in the office today(friday).  So, the only alternative, the E.R.  Michael comes home for lunch & I give him the news NEEDING to get something done.  So, off we go for the hour trip to Bolivar hospital, we only went there because my doctor is here, when he's not on vacation. 

They take me right in.  My blood pressure is now 140/90, which is really really high for me.  The doctor finally comes in & I tell him everything that is going on.  He orders a Nubain injection with Phenergan.  Which barely touches the pain.  They make me wait to see if it is going to go away.  It doesn't.  So, they then give me Vicodin.  1.5 hours later, no migrane.  Just a dull ache.  That does the trick, I guess both of them together.  So, after being in there for 4 hours, I get to go home. 

 I start fixing supper when we get home.  Smells wonderful.  I love beef & noodles!!!  We eat, & I have almost forgotten about my terrible 2 says.  Then, I get up to take my plate to the sink, & the pregnancy "morning sickness", I think, kicks in.  OHHHHHHHHH  YEAH!:(  Sick again.  I do get to feeling better & am finally able to sleep it all off.  I wake up Saturday feeling great, except for extremely hungry, tired, & nausious.  So, I get up & eat & go back to bed until noon.  I get up at noon & eat & then go back to bed for 2 more hours.  Boy, what a way to spend a saturday!  I felt great, though.

I still feel good today, just hungry. :)

Needless to say, I'm used to the daily headaches, I've had them my whole life, but the migranes must go!  It has been a long time since I have had one.  Being pregnant, I didn't want to medicate myself & take a risk with the baby.  So, we played it safe & went to the E.R.

How have you all been?  Have I missed much while gone?
