Well I'll be... If using Firefox with multiple tabs open, did you know that hitting ctrl and a number will make that corresponding tab come to the fore? I didn't. I do now. :)


Life in brief- have been migrainey lots lately. Went to GP for annual visit, now have referral for a neurologist. Is good, but weird. Got a HUGE stack of paperwork to fill out for headache doc. One of the 'things' they say to bring is 'a significant other if they can provide additional information regarding your headaches.' *blink* At first this seems weird, but on second thought- an SO may have noticed trends that the headache sufferer may not. So Hubby has volunteered to take a half day off work to go with me. :) I didn't even have to ask, just mentioned it was on the list and he offered. Apparently he doesn't like seeing me in pain and wants to do whatever he can to help. Fancy that.

Leo hasn't *quite* given up on his goal of killing the dog... The attempts are lessening as we removed possible murder weapons. The main weapon is still the small glass vase with fake flowers in it- however, as it is VERY light, we're not too worried. Kyle doesn't seem to mind when the vase randomly bounces off him. Speaking of the puppy, he gets to go to his favoritest place EVAH tomorrow- PetSmart- to get bathed and groomed. He's funny, the folks are allowed to trim his claws but NOT the fur on his feets. So unless we're there are the right time he ends up looking kind of like he's wearing snowshoes. Which, given the weather, I don't mind.

Other than that? Not too much- did do four loads of laundry yesterday- ugh. Just wanted to get it all done at once. And am in the process of moving clothing from one bureau to the antique I've cleaned up. The cats love it- of course, this means they try to jump in the open drawers at any opportunity. Yay...

Ooh, lunch time!

It feels good to have the laundry all done.

Sorry about your headaches - I hope they figure out some relief for you.

*grins* We'd been avoiding it for awhile and it looked like there was a landfill developing in the bedroom... Somehow the majority of clothing totally missed the baskets.

I'm definitely hoping we get a resolve of some sort on the headaches. I'm so tired of losing days to them- especially when I barely see my husband aside from the weekend. I had a mini-melt down Sunday night because I was migrainey all evening to the point of not being able to do much except lie on the couch and be miserable, and it was one of our two nights together and I couldn't even really enjoy it.

The bf and I went to the doc together yesterday, and it's true that a SO may have noticed a lot of stuff you don't yourself -- like I filled in the gaps for him and he for me. Definitely worth it!

Thanks. :) The more I think about it, the more I like the idea. Plus, since they say the visit could take anywhere from 2.5-3 hours that it might be good to have company, and since it's all about my head- someone else who will drive might make things a lot easier.

*nods* I only see advantages there :) Good luck!

I don't really need Dave to go to the doctor with me, but I really like going with him. He has a zillion more health issues, so it helps to have multiple brains in there discussing thing. I went with him a few weeks ago to his gastro guy and it was a great conversation and gave me a great deal of insight.

So I'm glad he's going with you. As this is such a chronic thing for you, I really think you both being involved in (hopefully) problem solving will be beneficial.

I'm not really looking forward to the visit- but I am hoping that we'll get some new information/treatment options. Alternating cold/hot packs works a bit, but hard to do while at work. ;)

Plus with certain types of issues- if environment plays a big enough part it totally makes sense to me to have both halves of a couple present. Especially as things can get lost in translation. Heh, I also appreciated that the doctor's office just said 'significant other.'

Yep! holding Crtl and hitting TAB makes you go forward thru the tabs and holding CRTL+SHIFT and hitting TAB makes you go backwards :) I <3 Firefox :)

Well I'll be... If using Firefox with multiple tabs open, did you know that hitting ctrl and a number will make that corresponding tab come to the fore? I had to learn it for work. Before tha, I had no idea!

I hope the doctor can diagnose what is causing your migraines!

Well, I hope the headache issue turns out to be a minor one at most. I don't like seeing (or hearing that) my friends in pain. :) *hugs*

Puppies are pretty resilient. I know that my cats have attacked my dog (they've not been subtle about it either) in the past, but he's a good natured bugger and took it like a canine. *hee hee*
