I'm home again - obviously :-)

Well I'm back, but catch me if you can :neener: My trip was cut short due to lack of communication and funding. I got there, no reservation, so I got a room elsewhere, went back to register in the am for the job training, was told I was NOT on the list because of lack of $'s... so I just came home. I could have stayed for the training, but would have had to pay out of pocket to sleep there again... That was NOT the original So I came home cause I still am having headaches from falling Sat., when I went flying by accident on my kids skateboard and landed hard. Got home, called PCP's office, they told me GO to the ER since your still having headaches, so that's where I spent the rest of that day, in the ER. Good news, is my brain is NOT Bruised, but now don't y'all but IT IS Sprained. Ya I got a sprained brain... only me, right? OK, gonna try and think of some ~*~GTKY~*~ ?'s and then post those in a bit, after my lunch, after my walk, (gotta get out there b4 it rains) hugs and prayers,

Vicki!!! I am so sorry that you have had all of that trouble...AND a little brain damage to boot!!! I am right with you today...I went to the ER as well...dehydrated. I felt totally foolish, but it is an easy thing to fix!!! At least neither one of us had to spend the night in the hospital!! Liz Hillsboro

Thank you ((((((Liz)))))) I hope your feeling better now also! I still have so much trouble getting enough fluid in, more so on the weekends, cause I'm not sitting at a desk with a bottle at hand then. hugs and prayers,

Hi Vicki, were trying to ride the skateboard??? lol I can just picture it.I am so glad your brain is ok. You make me laugh so hard when I read your posts. I never heard of a sprained brain.Love,Cindy

no I was NOT trying to ride that da** thing, it just got under foot in the garage. I'm afraid of them there kinda wheels. I do NOT roller skate either (same kinda wheels) I have nothing but sore behinds and fear of those wheels. Now roller blades don't pose the same fear to me though, but as I am afraid of falling I haven't tried rolling on them. Now big wheels like my :bike: are but I need a couch cushion on it, cause even with the big hoopty seat, it hurts my tailbone. Wassagirltodo? I didn't get my Y scholarship either, , so I'm trying to find $60 a month to get in the water. (can't go w/o my son.. even so it's $43 a month for an individual!!!!) This exercise part of my WLS is holding me bac****ep trying though.. looking for things I can do. ?? hugs and prayers,

Vicki... sprained brain! Well, I am insane in the membrane... Holy cow woman, what happened? I must have missed that post!! I am sorry it didn't work out when you were here. I was so hoping to see you, but as it turns out, I was at a funeral when you were down. I lost a very near and dear relative to a post surgical blood clot. He had a liver resection done (colon cancer had metted to his liver) and the next day during his bed care, it went, he was gone, just like that. I miss him dearly. He and his wife were the very reason I am a nurse today, because they both are and they got me interested. The rest is history. Not to mention their only son and I share a birthday. It was so hard. Their son (my cousin) is stationed in Iraq right now (Army special forces) so we had to wait until he could get home. Just to tell you how much he was loved, they live in a small town (Hillsboro) and the night of the viewing, there were over 600 people that went through, and at the funeral it was beyond standing room only. I am close to immediate family and we were in one of the side rooms. He truly was a wonderful human being. Ok, nuff of that. I hope you are feeling better...btw...how are you treating your brain, I can't quite see all of the RICE method working with this... you know Rest (you can do this) Ice (well maybe, but this is best used in various drinks) Compression (No turbans or vice grips on your head please) Elevate (no walking with your head below your waist) I hope you get to feeling better! Hugs, Val

I was messin in the garage, turned, foot landed on the skateboard, and before I could holler holy toledo, I was flying and then landing HARD. Boy my son got hollered at for that one.. know where his skateboards are right now? still in the middle of the garage, he's got 1 day to get them moved before I toss them into the trash. I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of your dear loved family member. The ER didn't suggest the RICE method .. But a week later and my body said do the R part of it. I also gave up this weekend, when scoring 3 new boo-boo's b4 noon on Sat. Told myself... I aint doing nuffin the rest of the weekend. I am still waking to headaches, my body still aches, like someone punched the heck outta me. I go back and see my PCP on Thursday for follow up, of course he's been on vacation so this is the soonest I can see him. Thank you.. I hope I'm feeling better soon too!
