Migraine and kidney infection....

So, I don't have many positive things to report. I had a headache that started on Friday and continued into the weekend. I did make it to Nick's welcome home party, mostly because I felt obligated since I arranged the PGR to be there. Jason did go with me (good thing because I could not have driven) and we had a semi-okay time. I was super excited (well, as excited as you can be with a migraine) to see all of my old friends from the PGR. John was there and he hugged me until I thought my back was going to break. I caught up with most of them and we stayed a little while longer, after everyone (from the PGR)left. Jason said I looked miserable. And I probably did.

After he took me home, I took some of moms Vicoden and went to bed. That's how I spent my Sunday as well, in bed.

Yesterday, I attempted to work. I got up, my head was kind of sore feeling but otherwise okay. I started to get ready when I broke out into a cold sweat and felt very sick to my stomach. It passed to so I finished getting ready and came into work. I ate a little bit, drank my coffee and it wasn't too long after that I started throwing up. I felt very dizzy (like the world was on a tilt). I decided (after much encouragement from Sarah) to go home. I called my doctor, they said they'd call me back and I headed home. Once home, I threw up more (ugh) and waited for the doctor to call. Jason was insistent on taking me to the doctor, so off we went at 3PM. I have a severe kidney infection (how did that happen????) and a "classic" migraine. They gave me 2 shots, one to stop throwing up and one for the migraine pain. Oh and one more (just for kicks before I left) of an antibiotic for my kidney infection. Then, they sent me straight to the hospital for a Cat Scan of my head and kidneys. I haven't heard anything yet about the Cat Scan.

I came home and fell into bed. That was the best sleep I've had in awhile. I snuggled into my bed and just passed out. My mom woke me up sometime after 9 (when she got home from work) and made me eat. I ate a little bit, talked to mom and returned Cindy's call (she had called to check on me) and fell back into bed. I slept until my alarm went off this morning.

I feel MUCH better today. My head still kind of hurts - more sore again but the sick feeling is gone. My lower back does hurt but I feel so much better then I did yesterday. The doctor wanted me to stay home today but I don't really have that luxury. (It's hard to explain.) I'll be fine.

I have so much to do. I have a ton of work to do, I need to mail Sarah's box of books, mail Jennifer's goodie box (I got her a few things for signing up for Scentsy, under me), I need to clean out my closets,clean my room, start looking for apartments/houses again.... *sigh* I can't afford to be sick anymore. Ugh. I just want to feel better.

The doctor wants me to start keeping a log if I have anymore headaches/migraines. This way we can track what's happening when or if I get anymore and we can go from there. I'm PRAYING this is just a fluke thing and I'm not getting migraines like my mom does. I do know now, a small part of why my moms life sucks. This migraine was horrible.

Positives: Scentsy party on Sunday, I've lost 2 more pounds (my doctor was way pleased with my weight loss), wearing a new shirt from Old Navy, Sarah bought me goodies yesterday.....um, that's all for now.
