After moving to my new web hosting company, I have replaced my journal with a blog. Hopefully this will eliminate the problems I have had with spammers destroying my site.

welcome to my new website

I have been busy this Summer. I have been busy learning to sell stuff on ebay. I have learned how to use my digital camera, and have been taking a lot of pictures and editing them. I have also been busy this Summer doing a lot of yard work at the house. The temperatures are rising over here in the three digits.

I have had a seizure feeling one morning and had to take a pill to stop it from going into a major seizure. A couple days ago I had a weird taste in my mouth that would be a seizure premintion, but did not go any further than that.

That is all for now!

A nice visit

Last week I went to my fathers house to see my Aunt Isa. I had a very nice visit with her. We had a good time playing with my new digital camera, and having great talks. She said she has been very busy walking and go to the shopping centers on her vivist over here. We always have a good time when we get together. I am glad I got to see her.

My Visit

Ray and I went to my Fathers house this weekend. I had a good visit again with Isa before she leaves for Scotland. We had many good conversations over tea. I had a great time seeing her.

Later we all went out to dinner at the Olive Garden. The food was great! We all had a good time talking about different places they have been, and were one day we would like to go. The weekend was great!

Tommorrow is the 4th of July. Our neighbors ususally get together and have a block party. Last years celebreation was fun, so I look forward to this one!

Summer

I have a great Summer this year. I have been busy with selling stuff on Ebay. I have been busy this Summer watching my kittens grow. They are so cute. I also had a great time visiting with Aunt Isa that came to visit from Scotland. I always have a good time when we talk, and have fun doing things together.

I also have made friends with my neighbors, so some nights we all get together and chat, so that has been good for me to make some friends in my area since I moved here.

Well that is all for now

Weekend

I had a pretty eventful weekend. On Saturday we went to Ray’s Uncle funeral. Later that night I felt I would have a seizure, so I told Ray. He said I had a big seizure, and then a couple more seizures that had lasted over an hour and a half. The next day I had slept till 3:00 in the afternoon. When I had woken up I had aches all over my body. Then today on Monday I was having weird hallucinations, and a headache. I think that is one my worst seizures that I have had.

Happy Birthday to Me!!!

Today I am 28….!!!! I have had a peaceful day today. I have recieved a lot of cards for my Birthday. I got a really nice one from Ray with all of my on the card as well. My neighbors put a cute banner that said Happy Birthday on it. I guess all the neighbors will know it is my birthday. I will be going out for dinner, and this weekend I will be going to the Indian Casino and play the slot machined, and have a nice meal there.

Happy Birthday To Me!!!

January 8th 2007

Ray and I had a nice Chrsitmas and New Years. We stayed home and did our own thing, we wanted to catch up being with each other, and enjoying a calm day. On New Years Ray cooked shrimp scampi, and then we warched the ball drop on tv.

I am learning how to type with a program that helps you learn. I started it, and have learned a lot, so I will keep at it till I get my skills to type well. This week I have an appointment follow up with my neurologist.

try to post more often

Trip to doctors

On 1/12 I went to my nuerologist for a follow up appointment. I met with a lady also, that follows up patients that are older. I had also seen my onclogist from when I was eight when I was waiting for my blood to be drawn. When I finally was in the chair for my blood to be drawn. I was poked about four times before they could get a good vein. My veins are small, and have had many blood draws thoughout the years.

Here are my blood test results that look good:

WBC: 8.2

Hgb:13.6

Hct: 39.

Plt: 283k

ANC: 4,460

NA: 139

Potassium: 3.4

Liver enzymes: ALT: 33, AST:39.

Tbilli: 0.5

Carbamazepine: 11.2

A good blood test is always a positve thing to hear!!!

latey have been having seizure preminitions. I felt concerned, so I brought it to my neurolist attention. He said I should increase my neurontin. I will be starting the increase tommorrow. I will ne getting very drowsy with this increase, but the positive side is that I will not have seizures.
