Quick Update. Life is Good.

Not too much new going on symptom wise lately. I suppose that’s a good thing! I’ve had recurring headings the past few weeks. Some have been minor, but some have been migraines unfortunately. My rheumatologist prescribed me Relpax 40mg, which I have been taking at the onset of a migraine successfully for several years now. That way I will have enough to hold me over until I get established in Denver. Also, even though I am taking Ambien 15mg, and 1mg of Klonopin (<–for my separate ”neurological sleep behavior disorder”), I have been having trouble staying asleep more than 4-5 hours at a time. So my rheumatologist also prescribed me Trazadone 50mg to take 1-3 of depending on ‘how effective I determine it is… I looked it up and it’s an antidepressant though, that’s occasionally used for insomnia-off label. Strange huh?  I’ve only taken it two nights so far and haven’t noticed much. So I’ll have to keep you updated on that…
Meanwhile, the professional packers come to pack up all of our stuff Monday, Tuesday, and possibly Wednesday. Then the moving truck should be packed up by Friday the 20th! Yikes!!! That’s less than a week away now. Then my dad and I will do a little cleaning on Saturday, and probably leave with the 2 dogs and 2 cats for the 28 hour drive to Denver on or around Sunday the 22nd. So it’s all coming down to the wire very rapidly! Now we’ve got to manage the technical stuff, like water, gas, and cable services. Should be a fun week. HAH! Wish me luck :)

I also added more photos, and and a video of the ER doctor pulling the catheter tubing out of my chest (slightly graphic)!
