So, I got this headache last Tuesday, that I thought was merely a rattle of my head from coughing. Then Wednesday, it got worse. By Thursday, I went to the ER because I was thinking the worst. I went to a hospital near me, which I absolutely LOVE, simply because you are in and out within a couple hours ALL THE TIME! After doing blood tests, a chest x-ray (For my cough), and a head CT, they found nothing out of the ordinary and they diagnosed a severe headache (They couldn't say it was a migraine, because you have to have more than 1 migraine to call it a migraine). They sent me home with some Vicodin. Well, it continued to hurt over the weekend. I couldn't get up longer than 15 minutes without my head throbbing. Rob, by the way, was AWESOME! He takes such good care of me and the kiddos! I LOVE HIM more every day!
On Monday, I finally got into the doctor, and he said I strained a muscle in my neck from coughing, and it is reflecting into my head and creating a tension headache. I have been prescribed a "drug cocktail" of sorts and it seems to be working better now. I have actually been able to sit up. This morning, I actually was able to go have coffee with the neighbor girls for our annual Christmas Eve morning get-together. But the doctor said it could take 3 days to 3 weeks until I am 100%.
It still hurts, but I think I am on the mend, finally! Thanks everyone for your prayers and support this past week! I really appreciate it!
