Yesterday was an interesting day! Recovery has been going well at home, until yesterday afternoon when I was hit with a horrible headache. A visit to our local ER, a CT scan, some bloodwork, and consulting with my doctors at the University of Iowa, sent us to Iowa City in the middle of the night as a precaution. All tests looked good (no signs of menegitus, inter-cranial-bleeding, cerebrospinal fluid leak, etc.), and they released me. Mark continues to be my rock, helping navigate the medical world at all hours of the day or night! I slept a lot today, and am almost feeling back to what I was a day or two ago.
Tomorrow I go back to the ophthalmologist - hopefully more good news that my cornea is in good shape and no swelling of the optic nerve.
I am very much looking forward to Thursday. We go back to Iowa City for a check and to have stitches removed. This also means that the ace bandage that has been a permanent fixture on my head can come off! I can't wait for the hair on my head to get somewhat back to normal, and to be able to wash it be myself!
No journey is a straight line, I guess... a few twists and turns along the way... not easy for you, or Mark and the girls, that's for sure! Thursday will be here before you know it!
