saifaiIt's semi-official now. Surgery is December. It's the only time we can do it. We're almost positive we'll get our wishes with the surgery. We need for it to happen between my classes and my time off work. Basically, I'll be out for a several weeks starting in mid-December. I don't know the dates for sure yet, but I'll post about it.
It just hit me the other day just how much of the Holidays I'll miss. I'm a last minute shopper for one. *gr* Christmas will be spent, for me anyway, in bed watching the boob tube and occasionally casting longing glances at my computer.
In other news, my headaches are worse again. I've been getting a migraine every other day, meaning the aura (or lights) part of it. The pain hasn't actually receded fully in about a week though. I've given up on trying to put on a brave face about it. I'm exhausted from it all. I'm just not sleeping well at night. I've taken to sleeping a couple hours when I get home on my break from work.
I know I need the sleep though because the sleep is actually helping the pain rather than making it worse as it would any other day. I've been doing that to prevent myself from having to take so much medication to manage the pain. Also, it means that I haven't had to take any time off work for sick days yet this year. Which is handy considering there's nobody to cover me.
Right about now it's not so much the severity of the pain that gets me as it is the frequency. If I had one of these on a regular day I'd roll my eyes. It's just that it never goes away and it's wearing me down.
*sigh* I've got to visit with the in-laws this weekend too. I've got studying to catch up on in the mean time. I'll make it through, but visiting with them can be trying at times. They're too perceptive sometimes. Drives me insane.
So. That's that folks. I'm awake again for the rest of the day. I've got to get some studying done before I get back to work. I've got more news about other things going on, but this post is long enough on its own. More news again tomorrow.
