LATEST UPDATE.

SO AFTER MY SLEEP STUDY, MY NEUROLOGIST ORDERED ONE MORE E.E.G. BACK TO THE SAME SLEEP CENTER TO HAVE MY HEAD COVERED WITH GLUE AND ELECTRODES. I'M USED TO THIS ROUTINE BY NOW. THE HARDEST PART IS THAT I HAVE TO BE SLEEP DEPRIVED FOR THIS TEST. SO THE NIGHT BEFORE, I'M ONLY SUPPOSED TO GET 4 HOURS OF SLEEP, AND WAS NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE MY VERY NECESSARY TYLENOL P.M, WHICH RESULTED IN ME BEING AWAKE THE ENTIRE NIGHT! I HAVE YET TO BE ABLE TO SLEEP WITHOUT AN AID SINCE MY STROKE. MAYBE MY BRAIN FORGOT HOW THIS WORKS.
GRANDMA ANN WAS TAKING ME TO THE APPOINTMENT IN BETWEEN 2 OF HER OWN. JESSICA WATCHED THE GIRLS, AND I BEGGED HER TO KEEP THEM LONGER SO I COULD SLEEP WHEN I CAME HOME. THE OTHER TIMES I DID THIS TEST MOTHER TERESA WAS HERE TO LET ME SLEEP, SO I WOULDN'T GET A MIGRAINE.
THE NEXT DAY I MET WITH MY DOCTOR AND SHE DISCUSSED A FEW THINGS, BUT SEEMED UNFAZED BY THE SLEEP STUDY RESULTS. SHE DID PRESCRIBE A SPECIAL PINK TINTED LENS FOR MY NEW GLASSES, WHICH I SHOULD GET AFTER AN EYE EXAM.
SHE ALSO IS THINKING ABOUT A NEW SEIZURE MEDICINE. THAT WORRIES ME. I REALLY HATE TO CHANGE THAT DRUG. BESIDES THE ONE SHE'S THINKING ABOUT IS KNOWN TO CAUSE WEIGHT LOSS AND DEPRESSION, TWO THINGS THAT ARE VERY IMPORTANT FOR ME TO AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
I AM IN NEED OF THE NEW EXTENSIVE EYE EXAM, AND THEN A FOLLOW UP TO DISCUSS THE NEW DRUG. SO FINGERS CROSSED THAT I DON'T HAVE TO SWITCH. I SERIOUSLY CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE ANY WEIGHT. IT'S TAKEN ALMOST 2 FULL YEARS TO GET BACK WHAT WAS LOST, AND GETTING DEPRESSED IS NOT AN OPTION!
2 YEARS ON AUGUST 31ST!!!!!!
INCREDIBLE IT'S BEEN THE MOST CHALLENGING 2 YEARS EVER, BUT ALSO A RELIEF TO HAVE MADE IT THIS FAR. I WILL BE CELEBRATING A 2ND BIRTHDAY RIGHT BEFORE MY 29TH BIRTHDAY. HOW RIDICULOUS! WISH I KNEW WHAT GODS PLAN WAS, AND I HOPE WITH ALL MY BEING THAT I TURN OUT AS GOOD AS HE PLANS. BECAUSE I NEVER WANT TO REPEAT ANY OF THIS!
MY CREW OF ANGELS CONTINUE TO HELP AND AMAZE ME.
ALBERT ASKED ME TONIGHT WHAT I MISS THE MOST, THIS MAKES ME LAUGH, SINCE THERE ISN'T EVEN ONE SMALL THING THAT I DON'T MISS, OR THINK THANK GOODNESS I'M NOT ABLE TO DO THAT ANY MORE.
LIFE GOES ON, AND I AM SLOW AND STEADY TO WIN MY RACE.
GOD BLESS TO ALL
LOVE FROM TAMI.
