I'm feeling...

a little better today. I've been using my Migranal and it is at least doing a little better job of knocking the migs down. I have a dog to groom this morning but it shouldn't be too bad. I'll have tomorrow to rest up and then we have a show on Saturday. Then we will stop and visit our friends on the way home

One of the members of our church passed away yesterday afternoon. I was able to sit with him awhile beforehand to say my good bye. He was 101 years old, and a very sweet man. It is sad to see him go but knowing he is going on to a better plane of existance is a reason to be joyful as well.

gotta go get busy :)

this is one of those times...

that it is really hard to NOT have a pity-party for myself. After having a stretch with several migraine free days I am once again back in the daily headache mode.  I even had to make two trips to the ER on the same night for what was one of the worst migraines that I had in a long time. And this is AFTER raising my Lyrica!?!? So I don't know what's going on. I got a cortisone shot and a dose pak 2 weeks ago. I suppose it has helped; at least I haven't had to return to the ER. But it is there, a constantly pulsating, hideous beast of a thing that muffled by pain meds and triptans but never goes away completely. And then some bored idiots with nothing better to do vandalized a bunch of cars here in town. Ours too, of course, so I had to use the money that I had put back for a rabbit show to get the window fixed. Couldn't go to the show, so I had to cancel the sale of a rabbit that I was supposed to bring along. There was money lost. And all we had to eat for our Thanksgiving dinner was pancakes. Not that I'm not grateful for pancakes, but it just wasn't "right". The kids both worked that day too.

on a brighter note (although it may not seem like it) the president of the National Lionhead Club (and one of the developers of the breed) came to one of our Nebraska shows so I was able to spend some time learning from the "master"! I asked her to go thru my herd and she spent almost 4 hours going over my rabbits. I had a few gems in the bunch, but there were quite a few she suggested I not use. Really hard to hear what your faults are from another person, even though you agree with them completely. The rabbits were kind of getting out of control for me what with the increase in migs. I can't lose them though...The dogs are a little much for me when it comes right down to it...we only got the two because I was feeling better and wanted to start training again. Needless to say I don't think Bosco even knows his name...

OK, I had better get outside and get the chores finished, I don't think my pain level is going to get any lower than this. I have avoided taking any Zomig so I can use some migranal tonight. Hopefully that will at least calm it down. I am SO tired of this...I wish that I never had any good days-it makes the bad ones so much worse when you can remember NOT feeling in pain (and that was such an odd feeling for me anyway) Now I am just hoping to get thru each day again

Just so you know...

I am still alive. Migraines knocking me around quite a bit but I will survive. Seeing the doc on Tuesday, hopefully he will agree with me that it's time for another round of cortisone. MIL is doing much better, thanks for your prayers

I will try to do better about posting

hugs to you all
