Update 5/7/12

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I have been praying a lot for my step-mother who is 58 and who has been in the

hospital since last Monday night had congestive heart failure and has to lose

water weight before she can come home.

Some days here it is the pollen count being too high that I have to worry about

for me lately because I just don't want to be in the hospital again for my

asthma.

Then comes the rain for my hip and back to get aggravated, just can't catch a

break. Right now it is sunny and I miss the sun but not sure if it is the reason

or excuse to not get sun when I need it. It hurts my eyes. I used to sit in the

sun all the time and once sat in the sun enough to dye my hair blonde and my

hubby's mom at the time thought I had dyed just that little strand blonde when

the sun had done that.

Hubby went to Houston Texas to go to work today (left early, like 5:30-6am CST),

flown out this morning at 7:55am CST and we have been texting. I am just praying

that we pay on the house come May 15 since I have been messing up on the food

and gas budget. 8 days of work, with 2 min OT, double time and maybe another 2

depending on what they want done. Waiting for a phone number to call him though

I need to jump in bed since I didn't sleep well last night.

On the 14th of May I am suppose to have a lumbar puncture that is if hubby can

make it home in time, (otherwise I would reschedule and have a friend help out)

not fun for him anyways since he has to watch over me for 24 hours and I am

dreading the lumbar headache. Since they already took lumbar spinal fluid a few

times and was thinking it wasn't bad but then I am used to having headaches and

migraines every day. I just want to FEEL better, not worse.

Anyone have been through a spinal lumbar puncture before and how you did?

I already have daily headaches but to have one that is so horrid I probably be

in bed instead of walking around. All I want to do is sleep all the time when I

try to heal. I just know I may get stiff if I don't walk around once I get home

though.

I hope you all are feeling well today,

HUGS to you
