Survived another day

Well the past couple of days have been so back and forth, it's crazy.  I had a few rough days, but it seems that things have started to look up more within the past couple of days, thankfully.

I went to the doctors for a follow -up on the headaches that I have been having, and there has been no improvement with the medication I was put on.  So my doctor feels it is best for me to get an MRI and an MRA because aneurysms run in my family and she would rather be safe than sorry, so once Tri-Care approves my referral I have to schedule an appointment with a neurologist at John Hopkins.  Unfortunately, with Kenny being gone, it makes the situation that much more difficult.  I have to find someone to watch Caiden and Khloe while I go, and I'm very limited on choices. Basically if anyone in my family helps me, they have to take a day off of work to watch them, which will still leave me having to do all of this alone.  I mean, I'm not scared, I try not to worry about things until I know exactly what's going on, but I mean, really, that's not something someone should have to do alone.  But I guess that's what happens when you lose the support of people you thought would be there for you.  It's a shitty situation, but at least I know through this deployment who the few people are I can truly count on.

Then at the doctors I had to get an EKG, and do a breathing test. Their EKG machine messed up, so I'm not sure if I have to do that again.  And I had to get a lot of blood drawn for them to run, because of my family history being filled with health issues they want to test my blood for anything that they can as a precaution.

The past couple of days though I have been able to talk to Kenny a lot more, which picks up my moods.  I'd be a lot happier if my kids were on better sleep schedules, and I really think that the lack of sleep isn't helping my headaches either.  I've got hopefully 6ish months to go, and I pray it doesn't take them that long to cooperate with me.

The kids however are asleep early, so its time to walk the dog, do a little school work and try to relax some.
