National Anthem

Okay I know that it has been awhile since I posted. New baby, gutted basement and work have all taken toll on time.

Even if no one reads this I at least have said something.

WHO CARES if someone wants to make a version of our national anthem in another language? Does it hurt something? Do I believe that if you would like to live here in the United States you should learn English or at least some English? YES. Imagine if I worked at a company that had a diverse population(I do btw) how would we get anything done if we all spoke our native language or had to have one or more interpreter per meeting. Nothing would get done on time. Is it okay that when I walk past a conversation in the hall that I do not understand it, yeah it is. If I have requirements for a project that do not make absolute sense for someone from another country then by all means find a way to understand it and get the work done.

That being said. Please do not make mountains out of molehills, find a common ground and become a citizen if you would like to live/work here.

Finally a doctor that reacts!

I went to the doctor today! Usually this meets with anger, frustration and lack of action. She listened, asked questions, and formed a plan of action. She gave me something to put me to sleep so that I can finally get this thing under control.

First day - Sleepless in Minneapolis

Well I thought I would try this so that at least when I am not sleeping I could just ramble on, not for attention but just for fun.

I have had a migraine for about 5.5 weeks now. Yes I know this is rare but it has happened before. I have sought medical attention and have an appt on Monday. I think I am going to try to write down all of the medications that I have been put on for these things for the last 3 years.

Vicodin
Vicoprofen
Darvocet
Firocet
Imitrex - shots and pills
Demerol
Valium
Thorazine
amitryptiline (sp?)
another anti-depressant that I can't remember
A blood pressure med that I can't remember

Treaments
acupuncture
massage - great but I had to pay for it myself
chiropratic
imaging therapy - where I try to imagine the loosening of the muscles and the pain going away (works for about 5 minutes while I am doing it)
yoga music
relaxation
weight loss (120lbs)

I will add more to those as I remember.

That is it for tonight.
