AngL's blog: "Doctors!! :("

Ok. I just got out of the doc's and everything looked real good on all my test. Doc still "recommends" me not driving for 5 more months just in case. So I will drive limitedly... like to and from work just so that I can see my kids more often rather than staying at work for days without a ride. :) I wont follow up again with him until June... so as long as nothing else happens... I am good to go... wOOt!!!! Thanks everyone for all the luv, thoughts and prayers... you guys are great!!! :) With All My Luv AngL

Ok. I just got home from my appointment with the Neurologist. Man let me tell ya, the anxiety of this appointment was to say the least, overwhelming. My Blood Pressure was 175/110 the first time, and then the second time 158/108. Can we tell I was nervous? Well, speaking with the Neurologist, he diagnosed me with Seizure Disorder. He also told me that I have NO driving priviledges for 6 months. SIX MONTHS!!!! Dayum, I really need to drive... I work odd hours, but I understand his order and wont drive. He said after 6 months, if I haven't had another seizure, I would be able to drive again. Thats comforting. I will have to depend on family and friends to get to work and whereever else I may need to go. It will be tough, but will be able to be taken care of. The doctor said that if in six months, I haven't had another seizure... I would get my priviledges to drive again since at that point the chances of having another one would be at 5%. WooT! Along with all of this, he is scheduling me for an MRI of the brain. He wants more details of how my brain is functioning to further determine the extent of whatever is causing all of this. I will update on those appointments as they happen. He is also sending me for a sleep study test to determine the extent of my Sleep Apnea that he said I have. This would be really interesting to see me with a C-Pap Machine and a cigarette. LOL. He didn't put me on any seizure medication, but he did give me meds for headache and migraine reducers. He said this will help reduce the chance of migraines as well as any possible future seizures. Crossing fingers this all goes away!!! :) With Much Love To All... Thank you for all your prayers and thoughts! I love you all for being here for me!! :) AngL

As much as I know there is "NOTHING" wrong with me, going to see a neurologist is a little scary for me. I have never seen one before. I know there is nothing wrong and I know this was all a "fluke". I just really need my life to be normal for me (as normal as that ever was) again. I hate the unknown. I hate not being in control of something, especially my own self. I know my friends have been wonderful to me through this, and I know that with all their love and support, all will be ok!! :) I love you all. I just had to write all this out for a few... sorry to bore you... I really hate doctors!! :) With All My Love... AngL

Good Evening... Ok. I am still on a no driving order until the Neurologist clears me. I have that appointment on Monday. I did go through the CT Scan this afternoon and posted the image results... "I do have a brain!! LOL!!!". Who would have thought that right? Anyway, I will know more this coming Monday hopefully, but they did manage to medicate me a little and it puts me to sleep a lot. I am really in and out of it... so bear with me. I wont be going to work until after the neurologist clears me either. Until the next time!! With All My Love... AngL

Hey Everyone... Yesterday and today, most of you saw that my status was sick and doctors... as most of you know, I don't get sick often. I get migraines, but not sick. Well, on Wednesday, I had a siezure on Wednesday. I am scheduled for a CT Scan Friday afternoon and off to see a Neurologist next week. I may not be at the computer much over the next few days. Staring at the monitor hurts my head and I have been sleeping a lot. Please be patient with me if I don't respond to Shouts... send a PM instead please. :) I will keep everyone informed on whats going on. With Love To All... *~AngL~*
