I did not have a headache Monday or Tuesday or much of one today. For those of you that are paying attention, that is cause for a major celebration. Like dance a jig, sing a hallelujah chorus sort of celebration. My appt. with the neurologist is next Monday and I think I just might make it now... On another note, I have a sort-of-big job decision to make and I am slightly stressed out about it. I am NOT leaving the Girl Scouts but the position I currently have is sort of melting out into 4 different positions (that sort of tells you how much I have had on my plate this past year!). I have a choice about which of the 4 positions I am most interested in persuing and I am really struggling with the decision. Do I do what makes me happy/is most enjoyable now or the job that will benefit me most for the future? Where can I make the biggest difference? What is the best choice for me? So, please pray that I will make a wise, well-thought out, prayed over decision...

no fanfare.
I passed 700 posts with no fanfare - not even a mention. Must be the headache. Apologies! #1. Why won't Blogger let me put paragraphs in my blog?!? It is driving my limited English sensibilities quite mad. #2. We need groceries. BAD. Like really something serious. There is no lunch food here - packing lunches tomorrow won't really be an option unless a visit to the grocery store is made. However, I am suffering through day 12 of this headache and Chad just left for a fire and I just don't know that I have it in me to go to the grocery store. Update is that my CT scan results came back in on Friday afternoon and they say all is normal. 99% of me is thrilled to hear that there is nothing serious going on in my head that was unseen up to that point but the other 1% was hoping it would be something super obvious (not something terrible mind you, just obvious) and we could fix me up right quick like. No dice. Currently, I am doing laundry (requires little energy - not folding it - Thanks Mom! and when are you coming back?) and thinking about what to feed myself for dinner. Maybe I will take some medicine and see if I can suffer through the grocery store...

the low down.
After a dramatic week of doctors visits, I have seen my fair share of different doctors and sadly, still don't have a resolution but know - in faith - that one is surely coming. In the past week and a half, I have seen my regular doctor, the nurse practitioner at my regular office, seen a general surgeon, been to the eye doctor to have the ole' eyeballs checked out, and finished up the week with a CT scan this morning. It has been a long week full of co-pays and questions and poking and squeezing and a few understandable tears. I have already heard back from my CT scan this A.M. and it came back "normal" so that is fabulous, wonderful good news - and always what you want to hear, that there isn't something funky going on in your head. However, frankly it does not help with a diagnosis of the 11 day headache so while I am immensely thankful for a "clean bill of health" on the head scan, I really need some answers. I have an appointment with the neurologist on April 11st (unless I can convince them to squeeze me in sooner for a cancellation) so that is my next best option for results. Please continue to pray that he will be patient and have abounding wisdom for treating what is going on in my head! Best news I've gotten all week?? I have 20/25 vision and don't need glasses - not even really for reading - I just have dry eyes and it might help my head to keep them moist! woohoo!
