Another one rocks the boat.

Hi everyone, hope all are well. Its thursday today and I've had enough of this week - bring on the weekend!! Tuesday morning I woke up to rain. I had a doctors appointment for me and Em. I phoned Daphne for a ride to the doc. She was kind enough to be able to help me. I jumped in the shower with a really strange feeling. Not sure how to explain it, just had a thought that I could have a seizure today. I got out and I remember drying myself, having another thought about how embarrassing it would be to have a seizure when not dressed!! Then I had one. Not that I knew I was having one, just piecing things together afterwards. All I remember is feeling really sick and not understanding why. Apparently I phoned my friend Rosalie a couple of times, she figured something was up when I kept hanging up on her! I had asked her to come get me to take me to the doctor, not remembering I'd phoned Daphne! Apparently I'd phoned Terry as well! Doctor has written a letter to my neurologist for an appointment. We found out my next planned appointment wasn't till November 08. Think I need to see her before then.
Hence I am not allowed to ride my bike again. At least not on the road, thought I might go riding around the school. Wednesday night I found a large bump on my head and a bruise on my back. Not sure what from. I must have fallen in the bathroom, when I came out of the seizure I found myself struggling to get my trackpants on! Bit like Terry when we had SJ, very late night having her at about 2am. By the time Terry got home he was exhausted, in the morning he couldn't work out how to put his pants on and had to phone his Mum!
Back to tuesday: I hung out with Rach till Terry could get home. When he got there Rosalie turned up to take SJ & Aimee to play. Emily ended up getting a migraine and so me and her jumped in my bed and slept for a couple of hours.

I am very blessed to have such caring friends
and family. I'm not sure what it's like for other
people but for me I am overwhelmed with
gratitude that I have so many people I
and my family can call on and trust, people
that don't expect any favours in return apart
from being loved and cared for back.
Thanks goes to our heavenly father loving us.

give this rose to my wonderful friends and family.

Yesterday (Wednesday), I had to go to the dentist. Big hole in my tooth, big pain too. He told me I could get a root canal and filling for $1100 or take the tooth out and pay $230. Guess which one I chose!! Yep, lost another tooth. So I'm still exhausted today as it takes a couple days to bounce back from a generalised seizure, especially when I had a long absence after it as well. Plus the tooth thing! Much to say I think I'm within my rights to have a doze on the couch today.
We're settled into the house now, apart from hanging up the pictures, the laundry has been finished enough to be usable, we will wait for summer to do the vinyl and painting. We've put sealant on the gib to protect it.
Its meant to snow down to 200m today. The girls want it to snow. I've planned a pyjama day tomorrow too. Next week will be a scrapbook day. I'll think of a couple of other things we can do. We're going up to Hanmer Springs on Monday. We're all looking forward to that...mmm those lovely hot pools. We haven't got a bath in this place.
Well I shall go and get some lunch now.
