A week ago this last Thursday Rusty and I began our travel to Oklahoma for my cousins, Shelby, graduation from high school. There's Marley (above) on the trip down. On the way down I started to feel a little "fuzzy" on my skin all over. By the time we arrived at my dads I was feeling exhausted and "weird". When we made it to Rusty's parents and went to eat, I could barely swallow my food. I felt so nauseous and "off" that I couldn't wait to get back and relax. Leaving out the time line, I ended up back at the pool house writhing in chills, pain and nauseousness. I really wondered if it was a urinary tract infection since I had kind of felt like that when I had one before. My dad and his wife (who is an RN) brought out juice and water with instructions. Well, after I had drank until it was setting right at the back of my throat I ended up vomiting. People, I haven't vomited in over 12 years. That was very out of the ordinary. My dad had worked very hard to get off of work that Friday so we could spend the day together. I felt awful when I spent the whole morning at QuickCare. I was given meds for Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. I had a tick attach to me about two weeks prior to this and he was there for a couple of hours before I got him off. I had all the signs and symptoms, less the rash which they say usually by-passes adults. I finally made it to promotion after I had lunch with dad. Here's the second LONG part of the blog.I have been nervous about going back ever since about a month or two after moving. I had several dreams that when I went back I was ignored and even asked to leave......by the very own people that were supposed to be my friends. At least they were when I left. I had thought some of them remained that way. Well, my dreams came true. I wasn't actually asked to leave, but I was ignored as much as possible. Shannon actually walked into a room that I was in to speak to Carole and then rolled her eyes and walked out when she realized I was in there. No loss there. Sharon tried her hardest to stay out of the room I was in until she couldn't no longer and then proceeded to be happy to see me...........after she had already seen me numerous times and ignored me. What matters most is that I did get to see several people that were happy to see me. What's even better, my dreams now pertain to me going back and not giving a damn about those few! I had one of those dreams the week we returned home and it sure was nice. We already have a semi-plan to return this summer and spend time with those that remained my friends! I knew who they were anyway, but I had always hoped I was wrong about the others. So be it.
After that I went back to hang out with dad. Of course I felt bad but we just hung out at his house. We went to Shelby's graduation and I only stayed for them to call her name.
I don't remember much of the whole day. I could hardly keep my eyes open.Saturday was a little better. We went and visited with dad for that morning and then met Gene, Jeannie and Michael in Norman for lunch. We went and visited my friend Tammy and her husband and gossiped, as girls do. It was off to moms after that. All I cared about was getting a nice hot shower and relaxing. I started to feel a little better after that. The doc had said by Saturday evening I would start feeling better and he was right. Mom's neighbors were preparing to move to Germany and we were getting together for them. They have the cutest girls in the world. I will post videos of that later. I hate that my mom is without her "grandkids" now. She is very lonely and that makes me sad. We left the next day and I slept the whole first 3 hours of the trip home.
Then, Monday is when I got my migraine! Rusty had given Marley a haircut and I wanted to post a cute pic of a dog with a tan line! She usually has a "skirt" around the bottom and he shaved it off. Too cute..................Don't know if you can see the dark line below running across her midline.
I had another Private Quarters party and it went GREAT.Went to Andrea's baby shower yesterday. Georgia and Jett (my bestie Leigh's kids) celebrated their birthdays together yesterday. That was fun too.
Today Rusty and I went and put in an offer on a house. I am trying not to get too excited or too attached. You never know. The market up here is unbelievably high. Definitely makes us appreciate what we had in Oklahoma. I wouldn't trade this town for Chickasha in a heartbeat though.
Oh, I followed up with the doctor on Tuesday and he did lab work. Friday I went in and he had lots of questions about headaches, vision changes, fever and so forth. I am to call with any of those. Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever was what it was. I am so glad that the doc in Chickasha treated me for it right away. I am a little leary about going geocaching and all that now. We have spray but it is still scary.
I think that's it. Not much else. I am sure there's lots but I think this is long enough! I will try not to put it off as long next time but I still didn't feel well until about Wednesday then I had the PQ party on Thursday and, well, then it was the weekend! LOL I have another party this Tuesday so I know I won't blog that night. Hopefully tomorrow night!
