MRI

I have a MRI scheduled on Monday morning to see what is going on with the herniated disk in my neck.

Went to the doc

Well, after much prodding from my son, I finally went to the doc. It seems that it wasn't a sprain or a fracture. I have something called a "Ganglion cyst" on my wrist... it is a benign cyst, but causes pain and discomfort.... the doc said that I may have to have it surgically removed.. I am going to see an orthopedic doctor soon to see what he/she says. But, the ganglion isn't what was causing the majority of my pain.... it seems that I have another problem causing the pain. I have a herniated disk in my neck causing all my pain... right now I am on some meds that will help that but have a MRI coming up soon to see just how bad it is.... ONLY ME....
Thank goodness my son was persistent.... most of the time I am NOT thankful for that, but this time I am!

Hurt my wrist last week....

Don't know what I did, but I hurt my wrist last week! I wore a brace for 3 or 4 days but got tired of it..... now it's swelling up again, so I guess I had better put my brace back on and possibly go to the doctor. Ho Hum....
I have had several people ask me what happened, then offer me their opinion.... most have said "you may have fractured it..." others have said "it looks like a bad sprain...."I hope they are all wrong, cause I don't have time to have either of those things be wrong (or anything else for that matter)!
I mainly quit wearing the brace because I got tired of people asking me what happened and then getting their opinion about what I "should do, shouldn't do" etc...... (Sometimes I feel like having a hand out made of what happened to give out to people when they ask me.... so that I don't have to explain it over and over again or have a t-shirt that tells the story....)
Sigh... guess I will break down and go to the doctor.... eventually. At least it is still attached. As I tell my kids when they get hurt "It will feel better when it quits hurting" :)

BUSY.... BUSY.... BUSY

Well, my first week in Oklahoma has been really busy! Zach had football camp 3 evenings last week. We also changed my cell phone number, got a home phone, unpacked boxes,ordered Zach's football uniform, ordered his sports goggles, unpacked more boxes,got Zach's football equipment checked out, unpacked boxes, my inlaws got us a new fridge, we had our cable installed, unpacked more boxes, removed plastic and foam inserts for blinds etc... in our house, put together a new lawn mower, unpacked even more boxes, put together a new bed with a million pieces for Zach, cleared away cobwebbs in about every corner of the house, unpacked more boxes .... and the list goes on and on.... in the middle of all of that, we have been catching up with friends and family!
Even after all of that, it's great to be HOME! When we told some of our friends in Virginia that we were moving back to Oklahoma alot of them asked us "Why? Do we like heat and tornadoes? " or made comments like "You are moving to Oklahoma on purpose?" .... and when we told them that we grew up here and this is HOME for us, they said, "Well, that is the only thing that can explain why you'd want to live in Oklahoma!" .... they think that they have a sense of humor. I for one will be glad to be away from those hurricanes. Went through one and that was ENOUGH for me (and we lived about 70 miles from the coast!)
We're glad to be home!

We are officially in Oklahoma again

We are finally in Oklahoma. We got here last Thursday and it has been a whirlwind ever since! Lots and Lots of unpacking to do! And Zach has already started football, so we are already busy!
