Hopefully this will be my final update.

Today(Friday) I am having my 4 impacted wisdom teeth removed.

Monday-Wednesday I will be at Dr Kaufmans Infusion Center where i will recieve a continuous IV drip of some medicine in low doses that 99% of the time breaks headaches/migraines.

That is only if removing my teeth doesn't remove the headaches ( if it doesn't then those dates will most likely be pushed back).

For the first time all year school is sounding good-minus the minimal amount of makeup work.

One more week...

Monday-Pain Doctor_ nothing except one more medicine to take.
Tuesday-Peds Dr, and Dentist_ 2 meds and anti-depressants which I will not be taking and an x ray of my teeth that says I need to have my wisdom teeth removed because they MAY be causing the headaches, and they would have to come out anyway
Today-MRI_ who could like it, 2 of my veins blew, and it hurt because he kept having to re-stick the needle and then try to put the burning medicine in.
Tomorrow-Neurologist,and Oral Surgeon_no longer the Peds neurologist, and he will look at the CT, blood work, spinal tap, X-ray of my teeth, and MRI, and come up with the next step, then we go to Prarieville to see about getting my teeth pulled.


And the headache persists, but once again I am still drawing breath.

Update on the Jello mold, it is done, but I still have to take it out of the mold. I think the green layer melted the yellow layer, so it is yet to be seen how it turned out. But the flavoring is strayberry, orange, lemon, lime, and black cherry. And it is all sugar free, and fat free.

Update

Ok, I got a spinal tap Tuesday( it wasn't bad, they sedated me) And my pressure was 20.5 opening, and 20 closing. That Dr. said it was most likely a pseudotumor, so to confirm it we went to the optomologist today who said no papladima, meaning no pseudotumor. So next is an MRI, and a trip to the pain Dr. Monday. I am on medicine now that relieves the some, but I have an allergic reaction to it which makes me itch every where, and it drives me crazy, so I take benedryl. I am also on an anti-nausia med, which makes me sleep. But I am alive and breathing and I plan on continuing that way for some time.

Update

I still have a headache, we are able to get it to go down to a 2-3 on the pain level, but it ranges in intensity hour to hour. Monday the neurologist thought it was most likely stress, so I am quiting my job at McDonald's until the end of the school year, where I will decide to work either there or at a Dr. office. Today I went to Woman's hospital to get more lab work done, trying to rule out some viruses. I am going back to the neurologist tomorrow as well, we will see what they have to say. But I am living and breathing and sleeping, lots of sleeping. ( the medicine makes me tired)

I have 34 days left of school.

The testing of your faith produces patience.

This week has been from the depths of Sheol. It started Tuesday with a massive headache, so I took 4 ibuprofen and went to bed. I slept for 17 hours straight, and woke up with a headache 10 times worse. I went to a doctors appointment and she sad that if they didn't lighten up then I needed to go to the ER and get blood work, and a CT. So Wednesday night we went to the ER, and it was packed, so Poppie drugged me up and we went to Louie's. I got grits, only to throw them up 20 minutes later. Thursday morning we went back to the ER, and got my blood work and CT. It was normal, they did start an iv and give me morphine and some other thing for nausea. I left with a few prescriptions, and came home to crash. I slept away most of my days. Tuesday I slept 17 hours straight, and I slept 12 hours last night. The headache never fully leaves, and 4 ibuprofen doesn't even touch it. So every 2 hours I am taking some form of medication. Monday I go to a neurologist, and we will try and figure out what is wrong with me. But, that is a sum up of my boring life.

threadless is great

In response to BJ's question...

Yes we ask people, to "Please pull forward and we will bring it out to you in just a moment." The please HAS TO come first otherwise it sounds mean, and we get in trouble, It is hard for me to do that I always say, If you would please..., and they like me, so I get away with it.

If we have the next persons food, and the first persons is not up yet, even if it is like being wrapped up, we pull them forward, or park them ( ask them to pull into one of the first three parking places, and we will bring it right out) . It really depends on the manager. If we pull people, we get more cars per hour, the other day we had 100 cars with 79 seconds time from when the order was taken until the order was paid out meaning each customer generally had their foon in 85-87 seconds after placing it, which is good. We also had 35-40 second KSV time, meaning it only took that long for the ord to be made, which is really good.

I have had maybe two people say no, at which point, I leave the window, and let someone else present their order. One of my friends ha someone fall asleep, like snorring and everything, there was no one behind him, so they let him sleep. He went to show the manager, and after about five minutes, she went, "SIR" really loud, and he jumped, it was funny.


I try my hardest not to be the one bringing things out to the people though, because of when one of the customers threw the water at me. Generally if it is more than like three minutes we throw an apple pie in the bag, it keeps them coming back.
