Dare2Diva is Grateful

I slept quite well last night thanks to the multitude of drugs I am taking. That is a blessing in itself! While I was in my drug induced 'I don't give a stuff' mode I managed to transfer my old dare2diva blog site to the new one so I will be back into that at some stage. I really needed to get my nails and feet done and waxing was not just a want, it was a must so I took the plunge and went. Note to self: Don't get facial waxing done when pain meds are wearing off and head is pounding like hell is having a rave in there. Good grief. Universe 1) I am grateful that I got a really good sleep last night. It is so great not to wake every 2hrs. 2) I am grateful for the fresh Italian bread rolls that Pa went and bought for breakfast. I haven't eaten much at all in the last week so a fresh roll and a cup of tea did the trick quite nicely. 3) I am grateful for the welcome I got when I went to pick up my car from my sisters today. It is nice to feel loved. 4) I am grate

It hasn't been a great day today. I woke up with an enormous headache again this morning at around 2:30 and it just wouldn't go. I had to have another day off work. This really upset me to the point that I am quite concerned that my emotional state is falling because I am not physically strong. Anyway, I managed to see my Dr this morning even though he didn't have any appointments available and my temp was through the roof again. After a CT scan and bloods coming back, I have viral meningitis. Great to know that it is a real illness not my mind playing tricks on me, but not so great to know that the only cure is time and dealing with the symptoms as best we can. Needless to say, I am stoned off my rocker, still in pain and yet I don't give a flying f#@k. Universe 1) I am grateful that I was able to get to see my doctor this morning even though he didn't have any appointments 2) I am grateful I was able to have my scan done even though they were booked out until

I dragged myself into work today. Yay me! It was a good thing because firstly, I was awake since 3am, and secondly, if I had spent another day at home, the wench at work would have stuffed even more of my things up. Thank goodness, I was able to fix them today. I went off my nut but I had every right to and my boss said he would talk with her. I did have a good day though. It is good to know that I have advised people and they see me as a guru when I don't feel I know much about the processes and my head has my brain on a sabbatical. Universe 1) I am grateful I got an early train today and a seat. 2) I am grateful that I was awake at 3am. It gave me 2.5 hrs to wake up to go to work, and for the pain killers to kick in. 3) I am grateful for the warm reception I got today from so many people saying they missed me. 4) I am grateful I was able to sort out the mess left for me when I arrived today. 5) I am grateful I got a fast train home. It is so nice to be home at a decent hou

This will be a short but sweet entry today. Universe 1) I am grateful I managed to get some decent sleep last night. 2) I am grateful that I had my electric blanket. It is very cold today. 3) I am grateful I was able to get an early appointment with the Dr today. 4) I am grateful for the injection I had today. It has helped to ease the pain in my head and allowed me to sleep quite a bit today. 5) I am grateful for strawberry flavoured milk. It seems to be the only thing I can stomach at the moment. It is very soothing. Blessings

Ok, I am trying really hard to be grateful today. I have been sent to hospital only to be given the run around so I am home still with a migraine, spots in my eyes, high temp, high bp, tingling arm and vomiting. Anyway, as I said, I am trying really hard to be grateful tonight so here goes. Universe 1) I ma grateful for an understanding boss. He was so sweet when I told him I had to have today off and then again when I told him I had suspected viral meningitis. 2) I am grateful that I was warm inside today. It was very cold outside so I noticed the difference when I was out and about. 3) I am grateful that I have a very sweet patient yet a big pain in the arse Dr. I know he is very caring and just as well he is sweet because I am not happy about being told to rush to hospital with a letter from him and then to be told I would have to wait for at least 4hrs to see anyone in a room with bright lights and not being able to lie down. I know it isn't his fault but still, I told him

Although I woke up and the migraine I woke up with yesterday was still there this morning. Far from impressed but as per my luck, the crap bed fellows usually stick around like a bad smell and won't take a hint. Anyway, painkillers every 3hrs instead of every 6 has enabled me to get through my day at work. I have had a rather fun day in spite of the migraine. My boss is hilarious and in his French accent asked if he could call me Missy! Very odd request but I said all the while he paid me he could call me what ever he wanted. Now, come to think of it, I know why he looked shocked and then laughed his head off at that response! Good grief. He also made mention of the plan to give me a promotion in the very near future. For goodness sake, I haven't done anything yet! Oh well, I am not complaining. Universe 1) I am grateful that I managed to get through today. My head is still pounding but I had moments of bearable pain so that helped. 2) I am grateful for the fast train to wo

It is really REALLY hard to feel grateful when one is woken up on a Sunday with a migraine that has left me vomiting, no vision in my left eye and the limbs on my left side feeling really heavy. Do I need to mention the heat that seems to be generating inside my head? I feel like I am housing hell right inside my head. Anyway, whilst I clutch at straws, here is my list of things to be grateful for today. Universe 1) I am grateful that I woke up on a Sunday and not a work day with a migraine. There is no way I could have gone to work today and I know I have a lot of things to do on Monday so to get this today and not tomorrow is a blessing. 2) I am grateful that I have been able to spend the day in bed. 3) I am grateful that it was a cold day today so I could stay in the warmth of my bed or throw up over the loo without having to deal with the heat of summer. 4) I am grateful that I am able to sit upright at the moment so I could type this entry. 5) I am grateful that I have plen
