We've had an odd week. We spent five hours at the ER in Kissimmee with Brooke on Tuesday. Brooke's migraines are acting-up. But it's been more worrisome of late because she's fainted twice and on Tuesday she had a tremor on the right side of her body. (Usually her migraine symptoms affect her left side and she has never gotten the shakiness before this week.) Her CT scan was negative, blood-work was good. However, she's still getting referred to a neurologist and has an MRI scheduled.
On Wednesday, we heard that we have a new Whitehouse family member. Dennis and Penny welcomed Hannah Paige to the world. Mother and child are fine. Now Penny and Dennis have a high school senior, an elementary student and a newborn. It's good pacing. LOL
Yesterday, Thursday, I'm quite sure I got a case of food poisoning at our lunchroom at work. It'll be LONG, LONG time before I can eat turkey again. Within thirty minutes of eating lunch, I was throwing up and it didn't stop until about ten o'clock. I had diarrhea and tons of nausea and couldn't drive myself home. Luckily, Brooke dropped Cory off at DRC and he drove me home. I was so grateful, I know I'd never have been able to do it myself. I'm better today, but still rather weak, wimpy and every muscle in my torso is sore from the wretching. I started forcing liquids, which eventually helped when I stopped vomiting. They were kind enough to let me work tomorrow instead of today so I'd have a day to recover. (Think I have a case to sue? I doubt it, but Aramark is on my list. If I don't pack a lunch, I'll do without.)
However, still counting our blessings as we were spared the severe weather with this cool front. (I do not refer to it as a cold front as meteorologists do in Florida. We'll still be in the 50's and 60's when the front passes. That is NOT a a cold front, now is it?) Those other folks in Alabama, Georgia and Missouri weren't so lucky. Praying God's blessings on all those hurting.
