My MRI

Hello everyone,  well today was interesting needless to say.  I really wasn't scared or anything since I had been through this before.  I had to take a pregnancy test, just like last time.  I'm not, anyway, they called me back and stuck an IV in my arm and I had to wait for the MRI tech to come out to get me.  All the time my daddy is out in the parking lot waiting for me to get done.  The first half was without the contrast stuff and the second half he took this big syringe and and shot this stuff into the IV and it was long after that it was over with. 
After that my daddy and I had breakfast and I did a little shopping and went home.  I took a good nap and woke up just before it was time to get the kids off the bus.
Thanks for reading; God Bless

My MRI Tomorrow

I have had another bad headache day.  Not as bad as the other day.  I have noticed stuff that I think has changed in me.  Somethings that didn't use to get on my nerves now really bug me.  Like humming, or someone tapping my shoulder, I don't know if that is part of the symptoms of whatever this is or if its just me changing.  I feel different, I don't feel like myself right now, I can't explain it.  I felt strange last Sunday night at church during choir practice and so I left really early.  I let them know that I needed to take a break even if it is just to figure out what is going on or something.  The last time I had an MRI done my daddy was with me, this time I think it will be just me there.  Oh boy!  Last night in class, I take really good notes and things and I can usually answer when called on.  Last night he asked me and I was like what, I don't know.  It got a laugh and I laughed to, but I don't know what happened.  I know that what ever it is that it is in God's hands.  I am ready for whatever outcome there is, I'm trying to be anyway.  I have a feeling of what it is, ad it makes me wonder if this is what Michael J. Fox had to go through to, the not knowing part of it.  I could be wrong and I hope I am.  I guess I am just really tired of waiting.  Thanks for reading...God Bless

Happy Thanksgiving

Hello everyone,  Happy Thanksgiving!  Today so far is a much better day than yesterday.  I had the worst headache.  I still went ahead with all of the things I had to do.  I didn't take anything for it either.  Just in case it might effect something else.  I don't know.  The really bad thing for today is that I love pumpkin, pumpkin bread, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin ice cream and pumpkin pie.  I forgot the pumpkin to make a pumpkin pie.  I might write more later.  Thanks for reading and have a blessed holiday.

Another MRI

Hello everyone,  well.  I just got the news that I have to have another MRI... this time it is for my brain, I guess.  I really wish that all of this stuff was done already and what ever it is we would know.  I am getting tired of the testing and the appointments and things.  I am thankful that I decided to do this when the kids are in school instead of going over the summer.  That would have been stressful for my kids, and me too.  Sometimes these twitches feel sort of like a contraction, not like sever pain or anything just the way the muscles feel.  Not every time it twitches, sometimes its just a twitch as to where it will twitch next who knows.  Its like my body is playing a game with out me being invited to play...lol.  I need to put my muscles or nerves on restriction for driving me up the wall...lol.  Oh, goodness.  I will keep everyone posted on what the next out come is.  Thanks for reading...Have a blessed day.

My day

Hello to all.  I turn on the porch light, for my husband and for the past two nights I have turned on the wrong light.  I could have sworn that the light switch was the porch light. I wouldn't have known that if he hadn't asked me about it.  Its just little things, but all the little things seem to add up.  I hope that the next doctors appointment will help shed some light on all of this.  Thanks for reading...more later.

Yesterday

Hello everyone,  yesterday was a good but painful day.  This was the first time that I had an eye migraine so bad that not only did it effect my whole eye it effected my sight in that eye, which I've had happen before, but it made me nauseated.  I was feeling fin until I came back from taking my kids to the bus stop.  The sun was bright and I know my right eye had a hard time adjusting to the lighting, but it came on quick.  My mom and I were watching a movie the Legend of Jonathan Sperry, excellent movie by the way.  Anyway, we were watching it and I wrapped my eye and partcal head with a blanket a small one.  It took about four hours before my eye felt better, but my headache right near my temple on the right side lasted almost all day.  I am not sure if that is a symptom too or not.  My sister said I need to write all this down before my next appointment.  If I can't remember I can always look at this blog and write it down.  I got to go visit one of my friends. She lives in another town, but works in my neck of the words so I usually take a Friday or a Monday to visit her for an hour or so.  Thanks for reading, and I'll right don everything if I think it might help the doctors I put it in this blog.  Until the next one...God Bless

The Appointment

Hello everyone, well today didn't exactly go as expected.  The doctor didn't get the MRI.  I had to get more blood drawn.  Then I have to go back in three weeks for more tests.  I have to have an EEG, and another nerve conduction test.  So much for today being the day I get answers.  Hope everyone had a wonderful day.  God Bless...

Tomorrow Is the Day

Well, tomorrow the appointment I have been waiting for is almost here.  My friend says, "the brain doctor".  I think my mom is going to go with me.  I'm not sure, how I can work it out with the kids yet.  It might be better for my mom to stay here and get the kids off the bus.  I really want her to be with me too.  AHHH, I think it might work out.  It is my first appointment, probably filling out paper work, and just a consultation, maybe going over my MRI a little more in depth.  I wish I knew.  I will let everyone know how it goes tomorrow.  Until then...

Two More Days...

Hello everyone.  I have two more days to go before my appointment.  I think I'm going to ask my mom to spend the night over here that night, I would like to show her our sewing class, and the GA's class at church.  This week we are having dinner there again, this week is pork chops and butter beans.  I'm still a little nervous, but really glad that we might figure out what is going on before Christmas.  I will update on Wednesday.  Thanks for reading.

Twitching and more twitching

Hey everyone.  I got six more days before my doctors appointment.  I kinda can't wait because I think the twitching is getting worse.  It usually just starts in different areas and it never use to twitch in one spot while twitching somewhere else, but now it does.  The day before yesterday it was, it was twitching in both my legs and on my side all at once.  My daughter I know is a little concerned, she saw Michael J. Fox on TV the other night and asked about him.  She asked, is that what you are going to do?  I don't know how his started, I told her I didn't know.  My is not noticeable unless I got shorts on or a short sleeve shirt, and you might not even notice it then unless I point it out.  Some twitches are stronger than others and you could probably see those without any mention.  I just want answers soon, I would like to know if I should start planing different things other than what I really want.  I would like to be able to teach our daughter at home next school year and I have so many cool ideas about that.  I'm scared to even consider that right now, and I'm not sure if I really am subconsciously worried about the whole twitching thing or not and if that plays a roll in my memory or speech or what.  I do have a tendency on saying something backwards or not remembering simple things.  I know most everybody goes through that but with me it is almost everyday.  For example, day before yesterday I was on the phone with a friend of mine and we were going to meet at the grocery store, I sit down still on the phone with her and start doing something else.  She says something, like where are you and I said I'm trying to put my stuff in order and then I remembered I was suppose to be at the store.  We stayed on the phone the entire time.  I'm not sure if it was because we just wanted to stay on the phone or weather she was worried that I would forget where I was suppose to be going.  I don't know, hopefully they will have answers for me, or oh boy more tests that costs so much.  Then that will just add to the now mounting medical bills that I don't know how we are going to pay for.  I'm not even sure if our insurance covered the MRI or not.  The MRI place sent us the entire bill, and that was for three house payments, and the one for the bone scan was the price of one house payment.  I'm not sure if the insurance paid any of that one either.  I don't know.  Blah, blah, blah.  Sorry I seem to be venting now.  Anyway, thanks for reading.  Hope you and your family have a blessed day.  I'll type more later.  P.S.  Please check out my other blogs.  My other blogs are way less serious.  http://kimmi1996.wordpress.com/

Ear

Okay so I don't know if this is another twitch or what happened.  It felt like one of my twitches, except it was in my ear.  I wouldn't have minded it so much except for the fact that I could hear it.  It sounded like something was in there for just a minute or so.  I don't know.  I have like 14 days until my appointment, hopefully they can tell me something.
