Two Months Ago

Published on by heiditeaLeave a comment

Two months ago, my brain aneurysm ruptured and all hell began. This morning, I awoke to bright sunshine, my kitties in bed with me and my Maine man ready to cart me all over again. LOL

I had two appointments in Waterville and Winslow, then a planned trip back to the dreaded Rite-Aid. The drive in wasn’t bad and my appointments didn’t poop me out too bad.

We stopped for lunch, then hit Rite-Aid. I was very apprehensive, but it wasn’t bad. Well, not NEARLY as bad as it was the first time I went in. Things were still a little dizzying, but not too bad. I was pleased. Had a slight head-ache when I left, but it didn’t leave me feeling horrible the rest of the afternoon like it did last time. Progress or a fluke? Time will tell.

On this day I was reminded of the days that have gone by and how much Dave has done for me and how he has been by my side every step of the way. I feel so inadequate in my thanks to him. I just don’t seem to think of anything or any words that can adequately express how much I love and appreciate everything he’s done. I’d do the same for him, so I guess we’re in this together.

Pill-Free Day

I didn’t want to write this entry too early, but I have had my first no-pain-pill day today. I had my usual morning headache, but it had gone away before I ate breakfast. I ate smaller meals throughout the day and nibbled and didn’t feel bad enough to take a pill until almost dinner time, then after I ate, my head felt better. So, as of 10:19, I haven’t needed a pill. I hope this kind of day happens again soon.

We got down all the boxes of Xmas decorations from the attic and Dave put the tree up. It’s not decorated, but it’s up. I was too pooped to get the ornaments out at that stage of the game after vacuuming and dusting one room in the house. Doesn’t take much to poop me out, but at least I accomplished something.
