Why I have Not Been On
I have been in the mood nor have I had the energy to be on the Internet. I have been bombarded with migraines again. I have been going to the doctors and they even sent me to a neurologist. I am on more pain meds than I care to count. No they can not all be taken at the same time. I have to try one then the other then they other. If it is really bad to start with, which is easy for me to tell, I take the morphine right away. Last week Wednesday I was tested for a brain tumor. I was so terrified. I went a whole week before the test. I remember it was a Monday when they told me they were going to test me for it. It took the whole day to sink in. By that night I freaked out. I never even said a word to my husband. I broke down and called my little sister, Chris. After talking to her I then told my husband. I never told my sons about it because I did not want them to worry after everything we have been through as a family. I kept picturing what my little cousin Cloin went through. I knew I would never in a million years have the courage he did as young as he is and the age I am. He had more strength than I have in my whole huge fat body. I got the results today and my MRI was normal. My three angels were watching over me. Did you ever wonder where I got this email faith.angels.3 that is where: Breanna, Colin, And Triniti. Now the thing is to find out how to control this pain. They are trying a medicine called Topipax which I will take daily. So by the time I am finally up to the dose they want lets hope it works because I am not a fan of morphine. Today was the first time I took that in a week in a half to two weeks.

Faith, first of all, you are so much stronger than you give yourself credit for. You have been through so much and you can still laugh and joke and smile. That says a lot.
Second, I'm praying for you that the pain goes away. I'm so sorry that something has triggered these dumb headaches again! Huge hugs and I'm SOOOOO relieved there are no tumors.
I saw Bobby at Flambeaurama and he said he is moving out by you! How nice that will be for you. He is such a nice person. Like his mother!
Oh Faith, how scary!!! You must have been terrified. I wish I could fly my broom over and give you a big hug right now, Spencer too! I am sooooo happy that the results came back negative. What a relief there. I will pray that the new medicine helps. Probably takes a while to get into your system to a certain level I am thinking.
I agree with Tanya. You are so much stronger than you know. Just think of how you didn't tell anyone because you were thinking of them when you could have used a couple hundred shoulders or hands to hold.
Please let us know how you are doing. I will be thinking of you!
