I had my neurology appointment today and the good news is my MRI was normal. I am really happy about that. Although now I am still left with no answers on what is going on with my migraines. I want my drivers license back. I want my life back to normal. I have Steve's help and he has been really helpful and good about getting the girls to and from school and helping me get to and from work, but this man is the busiest man I know and I just want to be able to do things for myself again. It is extremely stressful to try and make sure I have rides to work on the days he is off and has an event and to make sure the girls are taken care of. My Dad and Stepmom are extremely helpful too and I am soooo thankful for them as well.
Next step is to have an EEG done and from there I don't know what will happen. They are trying to rule out seizures. I sent an email to my dr asking about my license and he says Ca state law is my license be suspended for 3 months. So that is what has to be done. :( I really hope these 3 months go by fast. It has only been three weeks and my Dad called DMV and they have not received the letter from my Dr yet so my 3 months has not started yet :( Grrrrrrrrrrr But I filled the paperwork out myself and mailed it in to speed up the process.
So hopefully soon this will all be over and I can go on with my normal life and put this chaotic life behind me. lol

Probably the hardest 3 months of my life
I will start from the beginning so you can understand why things are the way they are. I have a history of migraines and tension headaches, recently in the last few months they have been getting more intense in pain and causing me to feel dizzy and faint. The first week of April I developed what I thought was a migraine and I just couldnt get rid of it so I went to the ER after throwing up for 2 days straight and I was so miserable. I went to Kaiser and got injections and they didnt touch the pain, the nurse said to go home and sleep it off. I was on my normal day off of work. So I went home and slept. Woke up still feeling awful. My head pounding and feeling sick to my stomache. Normally I can get rid of them with the injections and I havent had a migraine in almost a year in a half. The next morning I woke up and just couldnt take it anymore so I asked Steve to take me to Sutter Roseville this time. So once at Sutter they did there protocol for migraines, which is an IV with fluids and IV meds. I started feeling better and my headache eased up and I left there feeling pretty good, just weak. Although I had to work. So I went to work that night. BAD idea. Not even 3 hours into my shift my head started pounding again and my nausea was back. I couldnt leave work because if we leave it counts as an attendance write up and I was already on a verbal and didnt want to go to a final. So I toughed it out but the lights, smoke and noise was just k illing me. I made it through the night. Came home and went to bed and had a rough night trying to sleep.
The next morning I called my Dad and asked if he could take the girls so Steve could once again take me to the ER because I couldnt stop throwing up again and my head pain was horrible. So he said that was fine. And off to Sutter once again we went. UGH! Once at Sutter we got to the back and the Dr said that since the migraine protocol didnt work then it probably wasnt a migraine headache that it was a tension headache and he would prescribe me a med for it and a med for the nausea and that I couldnt go to work because it was a narcotic and would affect my judgement and handling money wouldnt be good. Great! He said he would write me a note. Well this place I call a job, doesnt accept Dr. notes we still get written up. Nice huh?!? So I agreed at this point I didnt care I was so done being in pain and being at the ER. I left there and got my meds. The girls stayed at my dads and I took that med and was out for 10 hours straight, woke up with no headache. Although Steve came home at midnight to find me passed out in the hallway and had a hard time waking me up. I do remember getting up to go to the bathroom but dont know how long I was there. I think it was a combo of the narcotic and me feeling dizzy.
So I did get in trouble at work and went to a written. :( Hey thats life, I felt better and was able to function and thats all I cared about at that point. I just recently went full time and have been waiting on my benefits so I could go to the Dr for my migraines again. In the meantime I was put on this new narcotic and imitrex by the ER Dr and only took it when needed. I was at work on last Friday and developed yet again another migraine and left the floor to get sick and was in the bathroom and stood up too fast after getting sick and felt dizzy and faint and fe;l forward and hit my cheek on the toilet paper roll in the stall. I had a huge bruise and my boss made an EMT look at me and they sent me home. I didnt ask to go home because I knew I would be written up and put on a final and I didnt want that. So I came home and took one of my narcotic pills and went to bed and got rid of my migraine and felt much better on Saturday and went to work Saturday and Sunday. On Monday I was on the floor for almost 2 hours when I get a call to go to HR, so I did thinking it was about my benefits, Nope wrong. HR told me I needed to go home and not come back until I get a Dr note saying that I am able to work to my fullest potential on the new meds I was taking. Yea really? They think that is why I fell in the bathroom on Friday. Ok then why did they let me work Saturday and Sunday then? This place is a joke. UGH! Oh well! So I left and was going on my days off (Tues and Weds) So I got up Tues morning and went to the ER and got a note from a Dr releasing me saying the meds were fine. Cause I only take the narcotic at night time. So I take the note directly to HR and they release me back to work. While I am there my big head boss stops me in the hall and I ask her if I was also going to get written up for being sent home for HR and she says no but you are being written up for being sent home on Friday. That is bull crap cause I didnt ask to go home my shift manager said I couldnt work under the condition I was in. So I am fighting that write up. Grrrrr
I get my benefits and they are active now as of April 1st so I go to the Dr this friday and I got some really bad news. I wanted to express to him that my migraines are a problem and I wanted to also have him fill out fmla paperwork so I am protected at work when I call off for a migraine and I wont be written up because I have a chronic medical condition (migraines) So he had no problem filling out the paperwork. I also expressed to him that I might need to see a neurologist or headache specialist to get to the bottom of these headaches since I have had them all my life with no relief. He asked if I have had any passing out spells and I told him yes and Steve explained what happened and as well as what happened at work. Well the bad news is by law he has to report to DMV that I have passing out spells and now I have lost my drivers license for 3 months minimum and I cant drive. :( I am soooo upset. I now have to depend on everyone else to get me to work, to take my girls to and from school. I know it doesnt sound that bad, but I am a very very independent woman and like to do things for myself and this has really really hit me hard. Driving is my outlet. I like to sometimes just get in my car with my camera and go take photos, I cant do that now. I am now stuck in the house unless I call someone for a ride. :( I dont know if I can take this. The next 3 months will be challenge that is for sure. I cant just get in the car and go to the grocery store when I run out of something. UGH! I have been crying all weekend and I am so down. :( So emotional. I know that this might be for the best so I dont harm my kids or some innocent person if I pass out while driving but this is hard to take in. I would never want to harm my kids or someone else and I know that the Dr is by law doing what he has to do. BUT I just hate this. :( But on a good note I am getting a MRI and I am being referred to a neurologist and will get to the bottom of what is going on with these darn migraines. Hopefully!
So that is my bad news. I am just so darn upset. I am trying to stay busy but there is only so much I can do in this darn house. :(

One step closer...
Will this EVER end?!? UGH! Spent my day off down at the courthouse filing my judgement and getting the minute order printed up so I can be free of that dead weight. hehe It has been almost two years since I have first filed for a divorce. Reason why it has/is taking so long is because Jason has failed to respond to ANY of the papers I served him with. So our divorce went into a default and we had to go to a default hearing. Which when I got the hearing set up, they were booked out for almost 4 months. This process has taken forever, I am on the downhill now, I see an end in sight. Once I get the judgement back, the final paperwork typed up from the court I have to have it served on Jason and then I have to have the proof of service filed in the courts and I am a free woman. So about another 4-6 weeks they said it will be finalized. Grrrrrr this has been crazy. But so worth it. Found out recently some really serious bad dirt on him and the people he is living with, needless to say my girls WILL not be going over near that area at all and he is threatening to take me to court. Well go ahead, but you wont win this battle, thanks to my Dad and his private investigator skills I found out stuff I am glad I found out, because my girls wont be around that kind of environment. And I believe the court will side with me when it comes to this kind of criminal behavior and background. So until he can grow up and be a man and get his OWN place to live, he is NOT getting the girls overnight. Enough said!!!!
I will be so glad when this court crap is over, But I guess as long as the girls are minors I shouldn't expect it to be over. UGH!

Which when I got the hearing set up, they were booked out for almost 4 months. This process has taken forever, I am on the downhill now, I see an end in sight. Once I get the judgement back, the final paperwork typed up from the court I have to have it served on Jason and then I have to have the proof of service filed in the courts and I am a free woman. So about another 4-6 weeks they said it will be finalized. Grrrrrr this has been crazy. But so worth it. Found out recently some really serious bad dirt on him and the people he is living with, needless to say my girls WILL not be going over near that area at all and he is threatening to take me to court. Well go ahead, but you wont win this battle, thanks to my Dad and his private investigator skills I found out stuff I am glad I found out, because my girls wont be around that kind of environment. And I believe the court will side with me when it comes to this kind of criminal behavior and background. So until he can grow up and be a man and get his OWN place to live, he is NOT getting the girls overnight. Enough said!!!!
I will be so glad when this court crap is over, But I guess as long as the girls are minors I shouldn't expect it to be over. UGH!

Easter
Easter this year was good. I had to work unfortunately :( But I went in at 4:30 so I got to spend the early afternoon with the family. Steve, his boys, the girls and I went out to my Dads and stepmoms to have an egg hunt for the kiddos, they love that. My Stepmom hid over 150 eggs with money, candy and goodies in them. Only downfall to Easter day was it was soooooo freaking cold and windy but it sure did not stop the kiddos from having a good time. So all in all it was a great day, Just wish I could have spent the evening with my family instead of working. But eh duty calls. Hope everyone else had a great Easter day as well. Here are a few photos from Easter.

Happy 9th Birthday Hannah
Happy 9th birthday sweet girl. I remember the day I had you like it was yesterday. Although it was a tough time in my life due to my health it was also the happiest time in my life. I was a mommy for the very first time to the sweetest most beautiful little girl.
It all started on April 2nd when I went in to my routine Dr. appt and my blood pressure was extremely elevated and I had protein in my urine and signs of toxemia. So I was sent home to prepare myself to be induced first thing the next morning bright and early. I was already 3 days past my due date. So scared and anxious I left the Dr office and called your dad and my mom and sisters and let everyone know that you would be here on April 3rd. So I got everything together and our bags packed and didnt sleep a wink hardly. We got up on April 3rd and headed to the hospital to be there by 6am. Got admitted and checked in and started on pitocin. This turned out to be a LONG hard day. After laboring for hours and hours, the Dr finally came in and broke my water and much to his surprise no fluids came out. Like I had been expressing to him at each appt. I had been leaking amniotic fluid. Maybe 2 tablespoons of fluid came out and that was it, he told the nurse that he thought the babies head was covering the hole and that he would check back to see if more fluids came out. Nope nothing nada, so intervention was started and that was a tube with fluids to be put in around you so I didnt have a dry birth. I was scared. My first birth and all this was new to me, I didnt know right from wrong. I got my epidural and labored for hours. Finally after 15 hours of labor I was ready to push, you were born at 9:23 pm on April 3rd weighing 6lb 6 oz and 19 in. long. I remember them taking you from you right away and putting you on oxygen and then bringing you back. I remember asking why your hands were so dry and cracked and bleeding. The nurse told me because I had very very low amniotic fluid :( Everything was fine and we went home the next day. It wasnt until the second day home that I developed a rare form of post partum pre-eclampsia. I was rushed to the hospital with extreme edema and extremely high blood pressure. I was admitted right away and I remember the ER Dr coming in and telling me that I had to be admitted because my chest x-ray shows that I am only breathing on about 5% or less of my lungs that basically I was drowning and that is why I was having troubling breathing and being winded from walking. I broke down and cried, I asked what am I suppose to do with my brand new baby. He said that I would go back to Labor & Delivery and that the baby could come too. I was scared to death. I spent 4 days in the hospital and released on tons of meds to get better. Mommy got better fast, but it wasnt until a year later I saw my nurse (good family friend) and she said to me, I am glad to see you looking so good, you scared us all. I said yea I feel great, she said CHF is nothing to mess with. I said what is CHF and she said they never told you and I said No, whats that? She said you had Congestive Heart Failure. :( OMG that is so scary. She said on top of that you had the Post partum pre-eclampsia. But I wouldnt change it for the world, you were healthy as could be and I was so so happy and thankful for that.
I love you to the moon and back birthday girl! <3
