Here it is Tuesday again - five weeks have passed. and 4 days into holiday break and it has caught up with me. I am wiped out. My family thinks something is wrong. All of them on different occasions have asked why i am so tired or why i feel lousy. I had to remind them that when they leave for school or for work I go back upstairs, get in to bed and I don't usually get out of bed until I head a car in my driveway at 4pm with the girls home from school. (oK, sometimes in the 2oclock hour i remember to go make myself a quick lunch) BUT, if I don't have a doctors appointment - or someone to drive me to a store quick for urgent girl scout stuff, or xmas party supplies at school - i am HOME. and one with my bed.
This may turn in to the laziest break on record. Waking up around 9. Frozen waffles in bed - my girls have even lounged around enough to watch Price is Right (something i never watch) - but they think is pretty fasinating. (they know it from the app on my phone - not as a TV show)
So - a week of lounging has brought a hefty list of things to do. Last minute things to buy, trip to go see SANTA, a few things to make, working on christmas cards and WRAPPING! Better get on all of that!
In the fall of 2008 I was diagnosed with Chiari Malformation -Type 1. I learned to accept & live with my symptoms and was trying to put off the surgery as long as possible. In the fall of 2010 I developed Syringomyelia and was told I should have surgery asap. I had a successful decompression surgery by Dr. Oro on 11.16.10 and with as good as I feel, I would like to consider me "cured"
