Tues Appt; Out of Denial

Today J has a follow up appointment.  We have lots of questions.  Mainly...she is having frequent headaches that are getting more frequent.  It isn't her eyes, or her blood pressure.  We took her to the pediatrician yesterday because she felt bad...chills and body aches...also sore throat.  Everything checked out OK, and she did not have strep.  I've been giving her extra strength tylenol for her headaches. 

Also, she is having these popping sensations in her back.  Almost like "let down" feeling or like her spine is settling.  It happens when she is sitting absolutely still.  Very strange.  We are checking into that as well.  

I'm taking my camera...hope to get photos of her X-rays.  I've been wanting to get those to post!

Well, I've come out of the land of denial about my eyesight going bad.  Several yrs ago I had lasik surgery.  It was so wonderful for me...who was "legally blind"...seriously, blind as a bat!  The eye Dr. told me that once I turned 40 yrs I'd probably need reader glasses.  Well, I'm 41...and for about a yr now I've noticed having issues with seeing close up.  Especially with reading text, my eyes have been buggin' out!  

So while I was home this past weekend, my sister in law gave me a pair of her $1 Target reader glasses.  (she has a pair for every outfit...lol...just kidding, but she did have like 3 pair!)  It was nice of her to share. ;)  I broke down and admitted that I really do need them.  They are a low prescription...like 1.25 or something like that, but really make a huge difference.  Anyway, my eyes are much happier for it!
