1. Well the doctor isn't sure whether my blood pressure is high because of my headaches or I have headaches because my blood pressure is high. Regardless, I'm have yet another pill to take (I'm becoming like my mother----I'm going to need one of those little daily pill organizers!) and better yet some pain medication. All Hail Ultram! My headache is better--not gone but better and at least I can write and think. A huge improvement. Feeling better makes me realize how lousy I had been feeling. Of course then he said if we couldn't figure it out down the road I might need an MRI. I just laughed and said, "oh no, nothing can be really wrong with me----I'm the only one left. I HAVE to be o.k. He just nodded.
2. Judi got through one scan yesterday----has her PET scan today.
3. Last night I went upstairs to bed early---between hurting all day and pain medication I was SLEEPY and Owen shouted up after me, "I love you....and I'm NEVER going to forget how much I love you." Then he came up and sang me a lullabye. It went "go to sleep my little girl, go to sleep" and then I forget the rest because well....I went to sleep.
4. Even though we can't afford it we got a babysitter and are going to see Bill Kirchen at the Rose Bowl on Thursday.
5. Basement is still a little wet and my zinnias are all bent to the ground. The boys, along with Parker and Dema, had a fabulous time playing in the flooded yard and street though....
6. We've had so much rain of late that the other day Owen and a friend found these mushrooms in the field and brought them to me. They were so gorgeous----these pictures barely capture it....and I might note that this may be as sexy as my blog has ever gotten....
