Here's a quick update on what's been going on around here:
My 'new' computer has crashed on me 3 times in the past 2 days. I'm about ready to take it back and have them look at it to see WTF is going on...and they can do so for free, as far as I'm concerned.
My neighbor has managed to royally piss me off by riding his 4-wheeler all over my newly raked, seeded and watered lawn. Then the people on the other side of me dragged a huge tiller over it, got it stuck in the wet ground and dragged it back out again, leaving me with a nice big furrow in my yard. I wouldn't mind, but we get our yards inspected to make sure they're up to the military's standards and I'll be the one to get the ticket.
The guy that got killed in Balad wasn't from here. I would say luckily, but I don't see it as a 'lucky' situation; someone got killed. I haven't heard if any of our dudes was injured yet.
I have to have an MRI done first thing in the morning and a spinal tap done later this week or early next week. I gave in to my husband's requests and went to the doctor today. I have weakness and neurological defecits in my left hand, arm, and leg, and I've had a headache for 3 days now. It also hurts me to move my eyes. The weakness in my arm and hand didn't surprise me, I knew about that and that was really what I was there for...but the leg explained quite a bit. I fall, a lot, most recently I fell down the stairs and fractured some ribs (I blogged about that back in Feb). I asked him what he though was wrong (I have a good idea myself) and he reeled off a litany of things...MS, lupus, a tumor, epilepsy, Parkinson's, a TIA..there's countless neruological diseases and syndromes that could be causing the symptoms I've been having....too many for him to want to even guess. It could also be something that was caused by the jeep vs 18 wheeler accident.
So, that's about it for me. I'm really not sure how much more of this I can handle. I say that knowing, however, that I'll take whatever is thrown at me and I'll roll with the punches. I bounce, I always have, and I'll bounce back from this like I've bounced back from everything else. I may cry and feel sorry for myself whilst doing so, but I'll be alright.
I would , however, like a bit of a break.
