I couldn't ask for more

   Last week I recieved a surprise box from my sweet cousin in California. I called it a feel better box. It had some of my favorite snacks in it. A disguise glasses and nose with a note that said 'This is for when you don't feel like yourself and want to be someone else'. A fairy with a note 'A Good Fairy to watch over you' and fairy dust 'Fairy Dust you asked for to take the pain away (I had to kick some fairy ass to get this)'. It made my day, she's funny and thoughtful. But I don't want to forget all of my neighbors who are always there for us too. This weekend was really nice. Slight to no pain, yeah!! Yesterday was great, being able to sit outside and hang out with everyone. We even got ice cream from the creepy ice cream man. Actually I couldn't tell you what he looked like because I was so excited for the strawberry shortcake bar :). But getting to spend time with friends was fun.
   Next week I have 3 doctors appt and one is with the neurologist for a test called Needle Electromyography. Well that sounds like fun. I had J help me make a list of To Do things for the week since I do not have any doctor appointments.
   As I went to bed last night, the pain in my ear had the nerve to show it's face. I was exausted from the day and it took awhile to fall asleep. I dreamt of pain, or maybe I was really in pain. I got up this morning and looked at my To Do list: Blood Tests' was written at the top. My ear was slightly aching and my face was numb again. Since I had to fast for the test I thought I might as well do it today. We got there at the perfect time, but I got a new girl and she says loudly "This is alot of tests they are asking for, I can't wait to see how much blood it takes." So I'm glad there was some privacy involved. LOL! She was also the one to draw blood, remember I said NEW girl. We go back and I did not want my left arm touched. She barely got 2 vials and said your vein poped. She had to do the left arm, that went faster and 3 more vials. After the urine test I was done. Aaaaahhh! I promised M she could get Dunkin Donuts. By this time my nose was also numb along with my arm. But today there was no swelling in my collarbone area. The pain was increasing in my ear and feels like it needs to pop. My left eye is very cloudy today, which usually happens when the numbness surfaces in my face. We'll see how the day goes.
