On a final note....we ALMOST have a
house. The upstairs is completely finished....and the basement is
well on it's way. I had heard it said before.....but they say if you
can make it through building a house together as a couple you can
make it through anything. Our relationship has not suffered in the
slightest for this house. G.J. is and absolute angel in my life. It is me that is
having the hard time......
I mention this not for pity but for
journaling...but I have been so sick...and it is all brought on by
stress as far as I know. (Stress from our house and Kayler is having a massive Autism relapse-not good) Last Friday I had a strange migraine.
Saturday a stiff neck and dizzy feeling. Sunday morning I was
miserable. I felt better to go to church (and I also couldn't get a
sub for my class)...but we left early because every time I closed my
eyes to pray and such I almost passed out. I came home and got in
bed, and G.J. took the kids to the ranch to let me get some sleep. I
got SO sick...seriously, it was awful. I was SO dizzy..nauseous...lost hearing...couldn't find my words...amongst other symptoms. So I called my friend Holly
because she is the only person in this world besides my hubby and parents that I
will allow to see me so awful. Besides that, she is going to school
to be a RN-so I trusted her medical help. She took one look at me and insisted an ER visit. I guess
the only bonus to going to the ER that sick is the quick manner in
which they treat you. It was all a blur honestly at what they
did...but I was there forever with low blood pressure, extreme
dizziness/fainting feeling...and I just wanted to die. Long story
short...they determined I had Vertigo which was caused by extreme
stress (imagine that??.....) I followed up with Dr. Catten and he
confirmed that I had an inner ear infection/vertigo and that yes....stress
can cause it. There are really no meds to cure it....it just takes
time. In my life....it is just awful timing. I have been in bed since
Sunday....and had to rely on so much help and I just feel so helpless
and that I am cheating my kids out of a fun summer and adding to the
already overwhelming chores/tasks G.J. has.
None the less....it could be
worse....and I will get better. Lets just pray it is sooner than
later.
If anything...it has taught me to slow down-if that is possible with my personality. It has taught me how grateful I am for my health when I am feeling better/normal. It has solidified that GJ is the biggest blessing in my life. It has brought a greater appreciation for my friends, namely Holly-I am so grateful for her sacrifice being with me at the ER for SO long that night. She brought meals....prayed for me...everything. I am so grateful that my mom has taken care of me when I couldn't function the past few days.
I hope this was just a test....and that I will learn my lesson.
Other than that..... all is well... I am still so excited for our house, so excited for summer and all it's awesomeness......Life is good!

how exciting about your house. And take it easy girl. Hopefully things will get better once you're in your own home. I can't wait to see pics of it.
Oh to be a kid again! I miss the naked days :) Kayler is getting long!! I need to call ya and check how you're feeling! We had a busy weekend with Donny's parents. I was going to text and say thanks again for telling me about Red Canyon. We went up there again and it's sooo pretty! The overlook is amazing!
I love that he hates clothes, it's hilarious! I am so sorry you have been sick. It's sad that the mom can't even enjoy being sick because the entire time she just feels bad she isn't serving anyone else. Just enjoy the sick your kids and hubby will be just fine. What's a couple days of serving you when you will do it all year round?!
