Been A Long While.....

So well man it has been over a month since I last posted anything on here. As most of you know I have been in and out of the hospital several times this last month with really bad nausea and vomiting then was followed up last week with horrible vertigo. Finally I think it was my 4th stay at Madigan and they discovered that I most likely had vertigo which made the whole world spin. So they called in neurology to do some tests as well, after some very uncomfortable MRI's and some "drunk test" re-enactment's and conspiring with my surgeon's they found a really bad vitamin deficiency that was causing some nerve damage in my brain.

I will tell you I about lost it when they told me I had nerve damage, just what a 25 year old starting her life really needed. I was so scared that this was going to effect me in the long haul. But they dripped an IV of thiamine into me that night while I slept and when I woke I was starting to feel a lot better. Well enough I actually ate real food. Then the nuero's came in that morning and proceeded to do another "drunk test" and found that my eyes were becoming more reactive and that this vitamin was doing wonders. So I have been taking the thiamine religiously and been out of the hospital fully for 3 full days and I feel pretty DARN good.

The icing on the cake is that I am almost 100 lbs down!!! Isn't that just amazing! Now I am planning to look into a gym membership for myself for Christmas. Time to start getting my muscle back. I will be posting up some pictures for you eager folks that want to see the newer me this week. Thank you all so much for your care and concern!!! I appreciate all the prayers and all the wishes of wellness. Happy Thanksgiving to you ALL! LOVE YOU!
