Life Is A Lesson To Be Learned.
Mood:  chillin'
Now Playing: Day 789-The Final Road To Survival

If life is a lesson to be learned then maybe after going on 4 years of the spring and summer sunlight nightmare I would had learned to rotate my sleep schedule with the sun. Instead I ended up with a day of migraines, tremors and a few pop up seizures. NOT FUN. This also put a huge kink into the days schedule crossing off things to do like changing lots of information since we are now a married couple. At least the major stuff got changed yesterday. I call the rest "minor details" so it was up to my friend/Caregiver/Husband to finish the rest. Let's just call him Hubby now for short. Hahahahaha! I am sure to one individual, OK, maybe a few that term is burning a hole in their brains by now but you can't please everyone in life and for once I have learned to please myself. AMEN!

With starting the day having electrical shocks going through my head, spine, arms and legs I finally raised my red flag and called my Neuro doctor so they could try me on some new medication. The other seizure and tremor medications they tried me on didn't work. In fact the last three years worth of trying various types of medication didn't work and the only sure way to calm down the lightening was good ole fashioned Valium. Yes, it does work however since it has such a short life span in the body I only get around 4 hours of relief. What I need now is something that will keep me from getting into trouble when my Hubby isn't home seeing I don't have anyone else here in the city that understands nor has even been around me during a seizure. I do have a few friends that have but I can't put them into that predicament having to drive over and stay here at the house when they have family and children of their own. Hopefully my Neuro doctor and his staff can find one of the new trial medications that might work this time around so I don't have to suffer through the rest of spring and upcoming summer months.

Oreo has been hanging in there and doing a bit better each day. We both got a really cute card this week from my dear Angel friend down south. Oreo is so smart he actually read the part to him. Hee,hee,hee,hee...See, you can teach an older fur kid new tricks! So far we haven't had to increase his dosage on both medications but we still need to continue keeping a close eye on him. He still has occasional tremors and gets scared a lot which is normal they said since he is also losing his hearing. Its hard seeing him not feel well but we have been doing our best to give him lots of kisses and hugs. He continues to enjoy bonding time by my side while I catch up on my taped television shows. When he is ready to call it a night he jumps down to sleep on his huge floor bed. Littleblue has been doing a great job playing fur nurse to Oreo and even takes a few naps laying next to him.

My dear friend John contacted me today and was happy to say the big move out west is finally complete! WOOHOA!! He sent me a few photos of his new home and his fur kid Robie who clearly is enjoying the California lifestyle. It seems both of us are now experiencing the other side of the mountain. We have both been through hell and back and hell again through out the years so its been wonderful sharing all the recent great news with each other! We always joke around that somehow they must had switched cribs at birth because we are just like siblings. I sure wish we lived closer but since he is the first to make it out west it won't be too much longer when we will be following right behind. Hubby is more than ready to make the big move and continue positive changes in our lives. I couldn't agree with him more but unfortunately right now I must ride out this next medical challenge to see what the future holds.

I am continuing to embrace these winds of change and with it comes being a new Mom to little Erik who is five years old. We are taking things one step at a time but I am super excited to see what the future holds for all of us as one big happy family!
