Changes

Looking ahead to the next few months, I'm very excited about announcing some changes to my photography business. I think that these changes will offer more of what many clients want, without a lot of frill and extras that they don't want. I'm still trying to hatch out all the details, but stay tuned to some very exciting changes coming to Remember this moment Photography!

Getting on...

Things are finally normalizing around here. My headache is still ever present, but it seems to be lessening each day. One of these days, I just won't feel it anymore. Another sign of improvement is that I reduced the number of pillows I sleep with from 12 to 5. No kidding! I have to sleep in an inclined position so that I don't wake with a pounding headache. So I still sleep at an inclined position, just less of one. It's a wonder that Daniel and our 3 cats were able to squeeze onto the bed at all with me and my 12 pillows!

It's difficult to "take it easy" as my doctor has told me. I'm feeling a lot better and wanting to throw myself back into the thick of things, but I have to remind myself that I have unseen incisions in my head that are not fully healed yet. Gotta give it more time.

It's been a rough ride....

Okay, I'm ready for the roller coaster ride to be over with. The first couple of days home from the hospital seemed pretty good. I had a mild headache, but was coping well, all things considered. Then it seemed like I took two steps backwards. For the next couple of days I was in severe pain and discomfort and no amount of pain medicine seemed to help. I just tried to get through each hour. Today has shown improvement once again. Rather than feeling like my entire head is going to explode, I have a localized aching straight back between my eyes (the sight of my pituitary, and internal incisions).

My parents left today as well. I was sad to see them go. They have been a tremendous help and support to Daniel and I: cooking meals, cleaning, doing laundry, and getting me any little thing I needed. My sister was such a huge help when she was here as well. She even prepared meals and froze them so that we won't have to go without home cookin' while I recuperate. Thanks so much you guys! We couldn't have gotten through this without you!

Surviving....

That's what it's felt like the last couple of days.... surviving. The headaches have been worse and my days yesterday and today were pretty much spent in bed. My parents decided to stay in town an extra day to help take care of me. Thank goodness for them. Unfortunately though, they leave tomorrow. :-(

Hopefully the next two days will be better than the last two.
