Well I had a big post written out for you guys, but just as I went to hit publish a notification popped up and said they ran into a problem and my whole post disappeared, I take it as the universe didn't want me to post that one. So we're going to start fresh. Here we go:
This week has sure been an interesting one, from trying to figure out what and how much real person food to feed Av, to a teething puppy thats been eating our drywall, and chewing literally everything, to the hardest task of all...Attempting to cook eggs, ask me to make scrambled, fried, sunny side up, an omlette even I can do. But ask me how to hard boil or soft boil an egg? yeah right. Im allergic so how would I know? I cant do it for the life of me. On the flip side, Av LOVES pasta (yes, that would be the wop in her) With the weather being half decent too the last couple of days we've been busy outside lots, and Av has been loving it, and she lets us know now because she is a chatter box. From planting grass, to burning it, to hanging out on the tractor with dad, to even relaxing in the hot tub. We live the country life and we love it.
On the brain injury side of things, my vertigo has come back with a vengence. I've never had it until I took the blow to the head, when I lay down and move my head to look up or to look to the side it happens. It feels like when you get too drunk and end up with headspins really bad. The last week I've been super congested so I think that might have something todo with it? Its only been lasting a couple of minutes the last week, but today I noticed its been kind of on and off all day. Im hoping physio will be able to help a girl out friday, we're also going to be doing a balance test friday too so im curious to see the out come to that. On another note, my insurance company that has been paying for my rehab (physio & OT) recieved my most recent MRI results, they now changed my RTW date from this up comming May/June to October 2024,or potentially later. So with that news, theyre pausing my paid for rehab treatments until a closer time, which is good but annoying at the same time. We came to the conclusion that we jumped on the insurnace benifits too early, that when we came home from KGH we should have been taken as an in patient at KLGH, even for just a day, so we could get in on the TBI rehab programs that the community offers, (OT through interior health) and then once those are all used up to contact insurance for the private rehab sessions. Instead they sent me straight home so we could get adjusted to life and get ready for the baby we were having in 2 weeks time. Which makes sense, and was great to have that time but we kind of fell between the cracks at that point. Im going to give Aquired Brain Injury services in Castlegar a call this week and see if theres anything they can do too, we were in contact and had a visit with them when we first got home, but because I was walking and talking I didnt really qualify for the services they offered. So we'll see, Our plan XYZ is kind of up in the air right now, but thats okay it'll all fall into place when its supposed to. For now, Im going to keep on keepin' on. Enjoy the extra time I get to have being a stay at home mom (thats so weird to say) but I honestly wouldnt have it any other way.
Keep on keeping on ❤️❤️
