Yo' Adrienne

Well, it was bound to happen sometime I guess. I was doing SOO well! I had just passed my second year seizure free. And then it happened. Not once , but TWICE!!We had gone to Dad's for Christmas- well, we'll just say up North, because we made a couple stops along the way.-Stopped at Shane's for a few days, in North Carolina, Eddie & Steph's for a day While staying at the Marriot for a couple days and visiting Doug & Anthony On Long Island Before finally making our way up to dad's in the Catskills for Christmas all the while suffering a Terrible sinus infection taking whatever medicine was offered to me as well as what looked like would work over the counter as long as I could somewhat kick what was already kicking my ass! {you know you've been there!} So anyway We were all sick , but had a wonderful time-Brendan finally getting better, Tom mysteriously missing getting this bug and me & Thomas getting the worst of it- Thomas healing and me getting my ass kicked. On the way home December 29 in the Car, I suffered 3 seizures, then , we get home and on New Years Day, I suffered the Grand daddy of them all in the shower , wiping out and busting my nose in 3 places - I've never seriously injured myself THAT badly before in all the years that I've had my seizure condition- of 24 years! So I had to go t my trusty and swindling plastic surgeon{ whom I swear was all too happy to see me! } and got my nose fixed after dropping 5 grand on CATSCANS at the hospital ER plus bloodwork and stuff { Thank GOD for insurance!!!} 4 days after my seizure I got my nose put back in place - it was nice he did it on such short notice- I guess it was something where before it sets yada yada.. so I got put on the la la juice again and while he was at it he fixed my deviated septum that blocked my nose 90 percent, to stop my snoring problem- Tom's happy about that! I don't snore like a bear anymore! But look like Rocky Balboa!! He {The Doctor} gave me this copper ointment and put me in this light therapy and homeopathic skin pills{which I never believed in} to take twice a day that reduces swelling and bruising - and you know it really works? my bruising is going away REALLY fast and its barely been a week! So I'll be damned! So Tom's new nickname for me is "Mercedes" I think because All the money he wanted to buy his Mercedes - I think went into me !sure if that's not a guilt trip I don't know what is!! I gotta watch though because My nose wont completely heal for 4 months so if it gets bumped it's back to square one and we don't wanna go there again! never a dull moment I tell you!...I'm just glad its over. I can't drive for 6 months and that's really an inconvenience, but we're taking everything one day at a time and going from there. Tom has been a Godsend. He has been Mr. Mom. taking care of me, the kids, we've enlisted help from family to help out , so in tiough times , it's good to have back up when you can and stregnth in numbers. Until then, one Day at a time until normalcy.
