well its safe to say that on the whole this christmas was a dud...it started on monday and still seems to be going. if you'll let me ramble a bit ill share some of the cheer that was spread my way. monday morning i got up to go to work and noticed that i had a pretty bad case of double vision. i blew this off to being tired and went to work anyway. after i had been on the phones for about 2 hours i noticed that words were disappearing on the white screens and i was getting mild vertigo. about one hour after that i was on the verge of either vomiting or passing out. i left work mid day and went to my eye doctor where i sat for 3 hours...long story short i had to have an MRI done first thing tuesday morning. it revealed that i have something called pseudo tumor cerebral. it is basically a condition where i am making too much spinal fluid and it is putting pressure on my brain and eyes. it is said to be a common disease but since mine was caused by the bout of spinal meningitis i had a few years back it is worse than most in that i sustained a lot of damage to the tissues and while a shunt will be placed to help drain the excess, it is most likely to forever impact my already poor blood pressure and eye site situation. as if this weren’t enough to stress me out when we left for my home town tuesday evening our car began experiencing some pretty extreme electrical issues that are about to cost us around $400 to repair. and our dealer called and said he had to pay off the bank so if we don’t pay the car off in full by next week they will repo it....
ok seriously....im not even done yet lol
we got back christmas eve and had a great evening opening gifts because i had to work christmas day...another last minute change that messed up my plans but it was manageable...so i got up christmas morning determined to be in a good mood and go to start my car cause it was super cold that night...i open my door to start the car then i realize that everything had been gone through...my glove box, my console, everything in the back end of my truck and my coat was missing...great so someone broke into my car on christmas eve and stole my coat...awesome maybe they got their kids a gallon of milk with it...oh well i have to go to work right...well i get in to leave after i let my husband know and it wont go anywhere...my theft lock was on...they actually tried to hotwire my car...so anyway i ended up being late for work and the police didn’t do anything about it but submit a report. so that was my lovely christmas...
how was yours? lol
