Hospital

So, here I am, in the hospital. I had a migraine for four days this past weekend and thought that was pretty odd. So I went to a doctor and he gave me migraine medicine. And my headache was gone the next day! But I couldn't use my right side very well. The doctor sent me in for an MRI and after that Mom and I went to have lunch with Albert. The doctor called Dad and sent us to the hospital. They had found a blood clot in my brain. It's in the interior part in a vein, so it wouldn't cause a stroke right away. They're thinking that maybe my birth control caused it. Bla. So now I'm hooked up to tons of wires and looking for greener pastures. And sitting here for maybe five days. I'm getting anti-coagulants and I will continue to take oral ones for maybe a year.

I shouldn't live in a bubble, but I will bruise easily. I shouldn't ride horses and I can't work with my Dad. So I'll be answering phones at the clinic, or doing some mundane job that isn't any fun. But hey, my headache is gone!
