Visit from Heather

Meet my friend Heather...we've been friends since we were 13 I think. She paid me a visit the night after I got out of the ER & it really cheered me up. She is so good at supporting me...she has visited me after 5 of the 6 surgeries I've had (she was out of town for one of them) and always tries to be aware of what is going on with me & my health. Thank you so much Heather. You've really taught me about friendship & what a friend should do & be!
Here is a lovely picture she took of me while she was over. Chances are, if you come over this is how you will find me. The heating pad & puppies are my comforts right now. :) Almost every night the puppies fall asleep on the couch next to me. It has kind of become our nightly ritual. Today was a pretty hard day. I didn't really get anything accomplished...except for the gazillion posts on my blog. :) My doc prescribed me Tramadol...I am supposed to take one pill three times a day. Well, that wasn't cutting it so I've been taking 2 extra strength Tylenol in between. THAT's not cutting it either, so now I am taking the Tylenol & twice as much Tramadol...basically the most I can take. It REALLY sucks. I hate taking pain medicine because I can't focus well enough to read for long periods of time & I have a hard time concentrating in conversations. Plus it throws off my sleep schedule & sometimes I feel too out-of-it to drive. I am REALLY hoping that things get better soon. I'm really not enjoying this! P.S.-I have an appointment with a new ob/gyn on Nov. 20th. Let's hope we can come up with a plan!!!
