Gaah.
Gaah.
I'm here for a little pre-bed venting. The day went well, really well actually, right up until 4:15 when my husband suffered a new level of sudden, severe head pain and we were so scared by it that I took him into the ER.
We spent something like 4 hours there, first a lot of waiting (it was packed) and then he had a CT scan and a shot of morphine... eventually, when the CT came back clean and the morphine kicked in, they released him. The dr on call thinks cluster headaches, so we'll be calling our regular dr for a follow up this week.
Probably the biggest disruption was that at about 4:14 I was just getting ready to go in the kitchen and cook up a pot of my favorite butternut-and-ham soup for dinner. C and I shared a popsicle given to him by a very nice nurse arouind 7:00, but other than that we had nothing until in desperation we hit the McDonald's drive-thru on the way home at 9:00.
The only thing getting me through this in one piece (well, besides the fact that my husband didn't, in fact, have a stroke) was that C was not only amazingly well-behaved, but that many, many, many people noticed that. We read through half of James and the Giant Peach and colored some coloring sheets they had there, and looked at all the things going on around us. We had an interesting conversation about the shape of shoes as compared to the shape of feet; another about what the ceiling is good for and why most ceilings are so empty.
But I'm so over-tired from the stress and the worry and the not-eating that my eye is twitching. I just had to pop onto the shiny computer for five minutes before bed and try to work a little sanity back into my life. Thank you, one and all, for listening.
