Once again (do I start EVERY blog with this?) it’s been a long while since I’ve updated. Every time I get, or I think I get a few seconds to blog something comes up!
As is, we’ve had a lot of things happen in our house hold the last few months… Of course I will start with Graysen! She has been doing great, her vocabulary has been wonderful and she is able to tell me anything she wants. We have had VERY few tantrums and if we do it’s basically just because she didn’t get something she REALLY wanted, or she is very tired! She hasn’t been taking as many naps as usual so we’ve been dwindling down on those unfortunately! She has been in ballet for a few weeks now and she seems to be doing great with it. She loves the beginning and the end because they are more active. The middle of the class is about the actual moves, and she doesn’t enjoy that too much, she just likes to sit by me. She has her very first recital in a few weeks. Every now and then she lets me know that her teeth hurt, and when I look in her mouth she’s got another 2-year molar coming in. She’s got three almost all the way in! Graysen is VERY bossy, and she claims any “baby” that she sees as “hers”.
We recently had our puppy pass away. Graysen and I came home to find her dead in her kennel, which was crazy because she was perfectly fine when I left. We paid to have someone figure out what is wrong with her but we have yet to hear anything. We did get a note stating that there has been no obvious reason on why she passed away, so they are doing a further investigation with it. Otherwise, Graysen does really good she only asks for Daisey at bed time, but she is understanding that she is no longer with us. Annabelle is also doing good, but she is very lonely. This done is constantly on the go and is so energized she doesn’t get enough attention from us even if we play with her as much as possible!! We are thinking about another pup.. but I’m not sure how I feel about it!
Since I got accepted into the nursing program I figured I had better get some things, on the medical side, taken care of. I’ve had back pain for at least 10 years.. nothing I can’t bare but it has been getting worse not better! SO I made an appointment with a doctor and it was the worst experience to date. I told him everything, anything and all. He told me that I needed to go get injections in my back for pain relief, I would have to do it every four weeks for the rest of my life or for as long as I have pain. Well.. FIRST OF ALL.. how am I not ever going to have pain if I don’t take care of the problem. If you are in pain THERE IS A PROBLEM.. So as I explain this to the doctor he proceeds to tell me that NO one can figure out the real reason for back pain, everyone has back pain. Really sir? I’m pretty sure that PLENTY of people are able to find out the reason for what’s causing their back pain.. with it either being pinched nerves, slipped discs, detrition in the discs or tissue…. There are a LOT of reasons, and not EVERYONE has back pain! So now that this is going into a rant haha… Either way, I told this doctor that I wanted an x-ray and an MRI, to cancel out any of those things and then I’d go from there. So after doing both they found nothing, my next step was physical therapy, but I honestly did NOT think that would help me. So instead I made an appointment with a Chiropractor. So far, the BEST experience I’ve had. He knew exactly what I was talking about and explained to me that MD’s are not trained to see alignment issues therefore they skip them, ignore them and just give you meds to decrease the pain (symptom) that’s caused by the misalignment. After a few x-rays AND an examination it has been concluded that I do have Sclerosis, I have 3 misalignments of my lumbar vertebrae and 2 misalignments of my cervical vertebrae. My cervical region also protrudes out instead of in… for all that he thought I was WAY older than 25 L!!! I haven’t been easy on my back that’s for sure, all the accidents I’ve been in have taken a toll on me. I did my first alignment in my lower back today, it’s a little sore but I can already feel a difference. I couldn’t stand for more than 5 min in one spot without being in pain and I couldn’t sit or lay down without being in pain and so far I feel fine. I go back to review the x-rays for my cervical region to see what we need to do/start with.
I’m still a little nervous because the doctor at the Tricare place stated that he would NOT pass my physical for the nursing program.. which is ridiculous. Therefore I’m not going to get my sclerosis scan done by them because that would be another point against me. So all they have in my records is that I went there due to having back pain but everything was normal in my scans. So when I go back for my physical and see a DIFFERENT doctor hopefully an “Oh I feel much better now” will be good enough to get a paper signed! Not sure why they have to make things so stressful!
School is almost over for the semester and I can’t wait. The 17th is the last day for lab, I have my last practical. I’m nervous because I’m a little behind this semester with it. Then my last anatomy lecture test is right before the practical. She’s giving us a take home final.. so everything is basically downhill after lab! I’m ready to get the house cleaned haha! Next semester I’m just going to take a couple on-line classes for the first 8 weeks, then I start nursing in the second 8 weeks. We’ve been searching for day cares, and the search keeps going, not sure I will ever find something remotely close to what I give her at home… That’s the issue for me! I best get over it haha!
I’m very excited for the holiday’s but it seems like they’ve come too fast! Hopefully I will be able to blog before the new year!! Otherwise this is the best/quickest “wrap-up” I could do!!
