This and that
  • I'm going to start calling the bearded eye-roller "velcro man" because he won't leave my side at night. Bless his sweet, sweet heart. Last night he fell asleep while we were watching TV. I was wide awake (pain meds do that to me) and wasn't ready to go to bed (could it be because the season premiere of American Idol was on?) I told him to go to bed where he'd be more comfortable. Nope- he wanted to sleep sitting up on the couch until I was ready to go to bed. Gah- the sweetness of that man just never ends.

  • I called my neurologist's office and her assistant told me that there's nothing the neurologist can do for me unless I exhibit new symptoms. I'm not noticing anything different- but then again, the weirdness didn't start up right away after the last time I bonked my head. I'll reserve judgment on whether this will cause further damage, and I'll hope for the best.

  • I went to my regular doctor's office. She doesn't think my wrist is broken either- but said to wear the brace for a week or so and if it still hurts, she'll re-examine it. She told me to put heat on my neck. I told her that the ER doc specifically said NOT to put heat on my neck. She just rolled her eyes and said that he was wrong. I love it when doctors disagree with each other- don't you? I'm just glad she gave me more muscle relaxers for my neck.

    I'm now sporting a lavender-scented buckwheat neck wrap. It's delightful.

  • My manager said that I could work from home all week instead of going into the office. I took Monday off because I was still heavily medicated and who knows what kind of work I would have turned out. Other than that, I've been churning out the work. I have to take the wrist brace off to type though. What a pain in the patoot wrist.

  • The staples come out of my head on Friday. Of course, that's the day that I said I'd come into the office for meetings that I didn't want to miss. The rest of the conversation went something like this:
    Me: Oh- I have to go downtown on Friday, can we do this on Thursday?
    Dr.: No, that's too soon
    Me: Are you open on the weekend?
    Dr: No
    Me: OK, how about Monday then?
    Dr: No, that's too long. You could get an infection.

    So, Friday it is I guess. Now I need to work out the logistics of being in the office and being home by 4pm to get the staples out. The ER gave me a staple remover, saying that most dr's offices don't have one. Maybe I should just do it myself. ::KIDDING:: sorta...

  • I ruined my sheep jammies that Heidi gave me. I have no idea what I was dreaming about at the time, but for some reason, I had to take off my PJ top and thought it was held together by snaps. I pulled and pulled (and remember getting very mad and frustrated that they wouldn't unsnap) until finally they came apart. The next morning, I woke up with ripped PJ's and buttons all over my bed. Hmmm.....

  • Still can't turn my head much, and now that the pain from the major boo-boo's is less, other boo-boo's are starting to make their presence known. I'm a mess. I really REALLY think I'm ready for the glue factory. BER refuses to drive me there though. Maybe I'll take a taxi.
    Taxi driver: Where you headed Ma'am (or preferably "m'lady" since that word always cracks me up.)
    Me: Glue factory- STAT

  • Thank you EVERYONE for giving me permission to not feel guilty about being incommunicado. It means the world to me that you understand that my lack of communication has nothing to do with how I feel about you. You are all so supportive, and I truly thank you for that. I am positive that I'll be back to the old me (well maybe not the old-old me, but at least the me that likes to connect with people.

Girlfriend, I'll give you plenty of leeway for being incommunicado if you'll excuse me for not visiting and checking in on you more frequently! I just read about your latest misadventures -- yikes!!! Take care and keep us posted, but don't feel obligated to do so when you don't feel up to it!

hahaaha...Angela, you're so funny!

(really, though. do NOT use the staple remover!)

Your neurologists office really ticks me off! I can't believe she didn't want to see you after having another head injury. I think you should just go anyway. You know..just to be sure.

think about it.

*hugs* RG!!! If you are concerned about your wrist, my suggestion would be to try a sports medicine doctor. They deal with stuff like that all the time and can give you great advice/support. Maybe it's not "broken" but maybe a ligament is tweaked or something. When I dislocated my knee, I went to one and they were such a great help.

And I know you don't want to get the staples out Friday, but that's the best reason ever to be late to a meeting! wink "I'm sorry for being late. I had some staples I needed removed so I could make more room for all of your wonderful ideas you are discussing here today." hee

Yeah, I like it when doctors deride each other, too. It makes them seem more human. Now if they could only see you within an hour of the appointed time...
