Update:

 Happy Friday, my stamp friends....

I know my blog has been sitting unloved the last few days. I've had a bit of a set back.

Once I woke up Monday and my migraine was gone I still felt horrible. That is not unusual with migraines and sometimes it can take a day or 2 to bounce back. Tuesday I slept the day away. When Shawn got in from work that afternoon I got up and still felt bad. I checked my blood pressure as I do every now & then. It was 154/98. After 3 times of checking it in 10 minutes I called the doctor to be seen. They had me in within the hour. My blood pressure rose even higher by then.....180/100. I saw a different doctor than my normal but he was very thorough. It was determined that I was dehydrated and was given a new blood pressure medicine on top of the one I have been on since I was 30. He said lots & lots of fluids and rest and if I did not feel any better in a few days I was to be reseen. 

The new blood pressure medicine took my numbers down within 30 mins of taking that pill but I have been having dizziness with it and that is a side effect. Also when I am up I get lightheaded and find myself taking some deep breaths. I am slowly moving a little more each day but far from my normal schedule. The Charley Horses in my calves & feet have subsided so I think the dehydration is better and i'm getting some food in me. I never got sick with this migraine like I normally do but the smell or thought of food makes me nauseated. That is getting better day by day. Last evening I cooked spaghetti for supper but only ate a small amount. Shawn grabbed me a container of fresh fruits at the store and that has been a God send. It helps with the dehydration and I can eat lots of it without being nauseated. I am managing the best I can for now. I see my regular doctor Tuesday evening so we will see what she says. Who knew a severe migraine could turn into this?! 

I have a card order on my plate for Audrey but I am thinking I am not going to get anywhere near my stamps anytime soon. I'm still dealing with a very sore neck and my head sometimes feels discombobulated...is that even a word? Eyes are still a little sensitive to the light which I hope gets better. Luckily, we had cloudy, rainy skies recently so that was a blessing. One day at a time for now.

If I get to feeling better by next Tuesday i'll be posting but if not I will be back Wednesday to post an update after my doctor visit.
