So I finally went to a neurologist for my headaches. I was told I have "normal everyday headaches" (ummm...no duh...good thing I went in...) and "cluster migraines". So I tried a new treatment for the migraines. And I won't go into any details about what it was, except to say that I couldn't close my left eye for a couple of hours. I never knew before just how ANNOYING that could be. I now feel I understand something about my brother Dave that I never did before. He has alot more of my sympathy. I also have more pain in my jaw and the back of my neck than before I went in. I'm not giving up on this treatment yet...maybe it's just slow to really start working and this is something I have to go through before it really starts working. Not sure if I'm happy that I've started going to see doctors again....didn't work out so well for me last time.
The kids and I went on a bike ride today. Well, they rode bikes, and I followed pushing Russell in the stroller. They're doing so great. It's still just a miracle to me how quickly they learned. And it's really hard to get them off of their bikes...ever. I'm loving it.
Russell and I love snuggling. I love love love my "squishy" baby, to quote my s-i-l Heidi. He seems to have missed the snuggling as much as I did, because he melts into me too, giving me lots of hugs and cuddles. Aaaahhh, so wonderful to have this surprising time, right in the middle of what was supposed to be straight casting.
Shriner's called today to schedule Russell's next casting date. Still not sure when it will be, because of some scheduling conflicts, but I have mixed emotions about this. Relieved that we're continuing his treatment, but sad that this time has to end.

Oh man! I have been wondering about seeing someone for my headaches too. And don't you just love it when doctors state the obvious? Is the treatment going better now for you?
I'm sad for you that Russell has to conntinue treatment, but he will be squishy again!
Heidi - I didn't know you got bad headaches too! I've been feeling better and better since that treatment (except for when I went to the dentist on Friday. That always causes a migraine). It's supposed to last for two months, so hopefully it lasts that long. And thanks for the hope reminder with Russell's treatment. I am soooo enjoying this time with him.
Maybe the reason for the delay in the new cast was to ensure that the cuddly part of Russell didn't get lost somewhere along the way. I love his hugs too.
