What a process

I had another fill today.  I am still even!! I am now at 320 ml a side!!! I had a long, LONG drive home.  I made it down the street from the hospital before I started having spasms.  It is always my right side.  It is with it being my dominant arm and that muscle is stronger it resists more to being stretched.  I stopped at a mcdonalds down the street from the hospital  I read on a different blogger's post that she used mcdonalds straws to breath through to help focus out the pain.  I tried a kwik shop straw last week... it was too small and hard to breath through. A mcD's straw works better.  After I got the straw I sat in the parking lot for about ten minutes to allow the spasms to calm down.  I didn't feel too comfortable in the neighborhood, I was parked right by a bus stop so there were a lot of people around.  I just locked my doors, played my music and tried to zone out for a little bit.  When I got back on the road, I held my seat belt off my chest and didn't use my right arm to drive.  I was able to decrease the amount of spasms I had on my drive home that way. I sneezed once...... THAT WAS TORTURE!!! Ha! I am now sitting in my trusty recliner with my heating pad, not doing too bad.  Had my Valium Rx refilled.  I have to take Valium at night for the first couple nights after a fill to keep the spasms to a minimum.  On my drive home, I saw a couple of kids hitch hiking.  They looked to be in their younger 20's.  I was tempted to pull over and tell them I will get them to Wamego, if one of them were willing to drive. LOL.  They looked nice enough, but in the amount of pain I was in, my perception could have been distorted.  At that point if someone had a gun to my head, but told me they were willing to drive.... I would have said they seemed nice enough. So long story short I didn't pick up the hitchhikers.  But I hate to admit how tempting it was!!!

My post are probably going to be about the same for the next few weeks... getting fills, having spasms, etc. Exciting huh!! So I decided to add some other stuff.

First all..... Happy Nurse's Week!!! I work with a great bunch of nurses, and I have previously worked with some awesome nurses!! Having great co-workers makes working a whole lot more enjoyable.  I also want to say Happy School Nurses Day!  You guys are awesome!  I would like to especially extend that to two of my favorite nurses I used to work with that are now school nurses... Heather and Tammy... you guys rock!  Also I would like to thank the school nurses in Pottawatomie County that I work with on a regular basis.  You guys work hard and have to deal with me on a regular basis... You have a tough job :)

(I may no longer work in the ER, but I have a special place in my heart for all you ER nurses!)

I also heard it is Teacher's week.  Happy Teacher's Week to all you teachers out there!! You have a truly amazing gift.  You have more patience and provide lifetime skills for so many children.  There is not enough good things I can say about teachers! 

I also that I would add some adorable pictures of the most amazing boys in the whole world!!!

So the last thing I will talk about on this post is, Cain and I have finally finished season 3 of Walking Dead.  We now have to join the rest of the world and wait until season 4.  On that note I will now leave you all a picture of my Hollywood boyfriend. :)

 

Who would have thought a redneck with a crossbow could be so sexy.  Thank-you Hollywood!!!

Have a good week!!!!
