Thanks so much for the update, Eric!! Sounds as if things are going pretty much as expected, and she's in good spirits, for which we are thankful! Waiting with bated breath for her return, safe and sound. Meanwhile, we're thinking of her and sending lotsa vibes
Elizabeth - you poor thing. I'm sorry you're going through this. Loads and loads of hugs and positive vibes coming your way. I hope it turns out to be nothing nasty.
Can't wait til your back laughing and joking, happy and healthy on TCS!!
Thanks Eric for the update - I hope you're doing ok too and not worrying too much.
Thanks for the update Eric I'm glad Eddie is ok I hope they find out what's up soon and that it is nothing sirious lot's of hug's and good vibes heading your way
Elizabeth had I saw this sooner I'd have sent you some of my jokes to read to pass the time.
Seriously though, I pray all will be fine. I had Vertigo, it was truly the worst thing in the world ever in my life! But I've been free of episodes for 3 yrs. now.
As far as a brain tumor goes, I know you've read my thread of my sister having a brain tumor removed on Tuesday 1/25/04 and it's benign, and the doctors say they are common and have no concerns of the removal of it.
So, hang in there and know all are all praying for you! Love to you!
Elizabeth,
I'm so sorry I must have been on brain overload to have missed this. I am sending good vibes for you from IA. I know it'll all turn out for the best.
Eric thanks for the update. There are alot of people here who miss her here!!!!!!!!
I knew I might get some and hoped that my own strength and love for Eric, Sasha & Saba would get me through, but this just rocks!
So before I explain anything, I would just like to acknoweldge Ccococats' good prayers and sister's tumor that was begnin, as that particular thread was on my mind the past couple of days and I am so very glad it turned out well for her.
I will say that Eric's update was quite true, nothing like a hot night with an MRI and EKG machines breathing at you to make a girl feel super sexy, yo!
I met with the doctors this morning and much of the day has been with family, so sorry for the delay. I did not want everyone to worry this much! In a nutshell: I do not have a brain tumor (and did not feel I ever did!) and I'm not a Narcileptic nor do I have Multiple Sclerosis, etc. What they found was a HUGE allergic reaction to the combination of Tylenol Sinus Nighttime (sleep aid) and then massive amounts of Sudafed that I had in my system. Around Christmas I changed from Tylenol Sinus Day formula to Sudafed, but kept taking the Nighttime Sinus with sleep aid at night. There is an obscure ingredient that wasn't compatible with my blood type (AB+ somewhat rare) and what I was doing. The vertigo and blackout epsiodes took place in the morning and afternoon, rarely at night after most of the sleep aid had time to wear off. I took the sleep aid because I had such terrible sinus headaches, not being stuffy- just pressure, that I couldn't fall asleep and stay asleep. After giving so much blood that I now have to eat steak for the next month, it cropped up on a blood scan only because I told them I switched medicines. They had asked me "what medications or over-the-counter products do you use?" but they did not ask me if I had switched lately, and it just got overlooked. So it was that simple. SHEEESH! I feel so guilty! Nothing like putting up a huge thread and then having it be so simple. The doctors (man, brain surgeons are handsome dudes!) did say that it was a serious threat to my equilibrium and any time anybody blackouts while driving, it is very serious.
So I turned in my jammies but they could not have my puppy dalmation slippers! I will say that hospital green is just not my color. Lord! But they had some very tasty jell-o.

YES MA'AM!!!!! THANK YOU!!! :bump:
It's really good to be home and sleep!!
The best gift was to come home and see Saba kiss Sasha back for the very first time, and then wake up with them on either side of me, the first time they've ever been on the bed at the same time, less than 2 ft apart. That was worth the wait.
Sooooo glad to hear everything's ok and you have been reunited with Sasha and Saba. I'll bet being away from them was as tough as all of the tests they ran.
What a relief this must be for you and Eric...not to mention the TCS community! I wouldn't feel foolish if I were you...how would you know about some rare incompatibility associated with only your blood type? Yow!
