Home Again Home Again Jiggity Jog

I’m pretty certain that I am about to write another super short post tonight. I’m so tired today. I couldn’t keep my eyes open all day. They kept closing, seemingly of their own volition all day today. I kept doing that nodding off and jolting back up again thing all day! My little man kept laughing at me. Boy it was good to come home! I didn’t realize how much I missed my family until I saw them all. It sure felt much longer than a week. Time is such a strange thing. It didn’t feel long while we were there until maybe the last night. Mom and I were both feeling super tired by then. We missed our own beds & pillows. We missed being able to eat our own food. And mostly we missed our families! And now, on that note, I’m going to read to my son!

Zzzzzz….

After 6 days in a row getting laser treatments for my stupid Trigeminal Neuralgia ๐Ÿ’†๐Ÿผ, I hurt my back getting out of the rental car ๐Ÿš˜ at the Toronto Airport โœˆ๏ธโ€ผ๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ˜ฐ. Seriously, I wish I was kidding, but I’m not. Really…

This is about to be my shortest post ever. We board our flight in about 20 minutes. It leaves at about 10:00 (Toronto time) ๐Ÿ•™and we get home at midnight (Edmonton time) ๐Ÿ•›. However, it will feel like 2:00AM ๐Ÿ•‘ to mom and I (๐Ÿ‘ต๐Ÿผ & ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผ). ย I can hardly move because of my current back pain and we’re about to sit on an airplane โœˆ๏ธ for 4 hours. So, I’m pretty sure that I won’t be writing when we get home!! Night night ๐Ÿ’ค๐Ÿ’ค!!

Yep. Not adding much else…about to finally lie down, in my own bed – yay!! It’s now 2:30, Edmonton time, which is about 4:30, Toronto time, yikes! I’m too tired to think…

How Long Must We Wait? We’re Hungry!!!

Today mom and I (๐Ÿ‘ต๐Ÿผ &๐Ÿ™Ž๐Ÿผ) finally did a bit of sight-seeing. [Okay, this has nothing to do with what I was about to say, but have you seen the newest IOS update? The emotions have been updated!! So, looks like there’s a new me ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿผ complete with new expressions/poses – as you can see with the first emoticon I used to be me ๐Ÿ™Ž๐Ÿผ!! Mom’s the same though๐Ÿ‘ต๐Ÿผ. Fun fun fun!!] Anyway, after my ย appointment we drove to Port Credit (an odd name, right??). ย We walked ๐Ÿ‘Ÿby the ย light house and by some neat shops and restaurants. It was a beautiful day โ˜€๏ธand we went into a neat l๐Ÿ‘€king restaurant, with an upstairs patio, for lunch. There hasn’t been great weather since we’ve been here. Apparently we weren’t the only ones out taking advantage of the great weather. When we went inside they said that the patio was full and that there was a about a 40 minute โฐwait (he was a bit rude about it – ๐Ÿ‘ฟ). So, we sat inside instead. Well, we ordered a couple Strongbows ๐Ÿป and put our food order in (nothing fancy, just a couple burgers ๐Ÿ”) and our food took over an hour โŒ›๏ธto arrive!! Evidently we misunderstood Mr Rude-guy ๐Ÿ‘ฟ. The 40 minute wait-time โŒš๏ธwas for the food, not to get a seat on the patio! Also, our waitress informed us that today was the first day of the year that their patio was open. It seemed that everyone who lived in the area had decided that they wanted to get outside and, from what we could see, this was not of the only patios opened! However, we were pleasantly surprised by how great the food was ๐Ÿด. Also, our waitress was quite sweet, just extremely busy and somewhat overwhelmed. The frustrating thing was that by the time we finished eating we weren’t left with much time to check out the neat shops ๐ŸŒ‡. Not that I have much money ๐Ÿ’ต to spend anyway. We were restrained by the time, because I had to get to a drug store before it closed. We ended up arriving too late to get my prescription ๐Ÿ“at Rexall, they had just closed the pharmacy as we arrived. Fortunately, we ended up finding a Shoppers that was open until 6:00, most had closed at 5:00. Since we decided to stay a couple extra nights, I didn’t have enough of my medications ๐Ÿ’Š with me. To avoid having too many bottles, I only brought enough to last for the trip. Thankfully Dr Khan wrote me a prescription to cover what I needed.

Well, I know that wasn’t much of an exciting post, but I’m wiped and I’m going to get ready for bed now. ๐ŸŒœ๐Ÿ˜ด๐Ÿ’ค These laser treatments exhaust me. Last treatment’s tomorrow and then we fly โœˆ๏ธhome tomorrow night, assuming I can figure out where to go at the airport to drop our car ๐Ÿš˜ and get to the right gate…wish us luck!!

Lasers, Lasers And More Lasers!!

Today is our fifth day in Toronto. It’s starting to look like I’m going to need to create a non-profit business called something like ” The Help Heal Jenn Foundation”!! I can set up fundraisers and maybe a 5km run and other events to raise money to pay for my laser therapy – lol!! ย I’m clearly joking. However, the costs do keep increasing. There are more and more costs going onto mom’s (๐Ÿ‘ต) visa. I’m pretty sure that soon she and dad (๐Ÿ‘ต & ๐Ÿ‘ด) will be able to travel around the world on the Aeroplan ๐Ÿ’ณ she’s collecting!! ย It’s pretty crazy.

We brought the rental unit home, well not ‘home’ really, we brought it to our hotel. (Did I say this yesterday??) I’ve been asked for information and updates on the laser therapy treatments I’ve been receiving. They are really hard to explain! So, I’m going to give you a simple explanation…if I can!

There are four steps (kinds of lights) to the treatment: ย The first is red light generated by 180 LEDs. The second step is an infrared band of LED’s, which penetrates deeper into the body. ย (These first two steps, which are delivered by an array of 180 LED’s, are not actual lasers and can be used by the patient themselves. This is what we have rented.)The third step is the use of a red laser probe. Followed by the final step, a much more focused infrared probe, which can deliver more power and can go as deep as 22cm into the body. ย These last two steps can only be performed by a trained technician in a controlled, clinical environment. Everyone in the room must wear dark, protective glasses (my mom ๐Ÿ‘ต has worn these dark glasses a lot this week!) ย When they use the laser probe on my face, I have protective goggle-type things on. Similar to the ones that people wear for fake-and-baking (for those who choose to pay for cancer!)

The reason that all of this works is: “Light is absorbed by a variety of cellular components in the tissue being irradiated. In essence, light energy is transformed into biochemical energy resulting in the restoration of normal cellular function and morphology.” (Quoted from Meditech’s pamphlet about Low Intensity Laser Therapy.) Obviously this is a direct quote and doesn’t sound like a simple explanation at all!! For even more detailed information, go to http://www.bioflexlaser.com and/or see Dr Doidge’s book “The Brains Way Of Healing.” In the fourth chapter of his book he writes about Dr Khan and the laser therapy he utilizes. Actually, this is an amazing book (not just chapter 4) that I have only just began reading. This is where my mom (๐Ÿ‘ต) found out about Low Intensity Intensity Laser Therapy.

Dr Doidge talks about how the brain can heal – duh!!! I just said the title of his book – lol!! And the word I’m about to write will change my life. Maybe not overnight, maybe not in a week or a month, but it will happen. It likely will notย cureย my Trigeminal Neuralgia, but with persistence, practice, exploration and the strong strong desire to take charge of my body and my pain, it will help. It will!

Neuroplasticityย 

“Neuroplasticity is the property of the brain that enables it to change its own structure and functioning in response to activity and mental experience.” (From “The Brain’s Way of Healing”, by Norman Doidge, M.D.) The laser therapy is changing and healing my brain with light energy!!

Driving Around Torontoย 

Yes. It is meย ๐Ÿ‘ฉ. Awake at 9:00AM (7:00 Edmonton time) for the 4th day in a row!! To anyone who knows me really well, thatโ€™s quite a miracle!! ย Woohoo!! Mom and I (๐Ÿ‘ตย &ย ๐Ÿ‘ฉ) are heading out to Coraโ€™s. We decided that, even though we can get the complimentary breakfast, we want a change and, hopefully some fresh fruitย ๐Ÿ“๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ‡. Hopefully we wonโ€™t get lost today. Iโ€™ve been driving the rental carย ๐Ÿš—ย around Toronto. For the most part, weโ€™ve been okay. Itโ€™s just that sometimes we get all turned aroundย ๐Ÿ”ƒ. And the stupid phone maps are always shifting around depending which way youโ€™re facingย ๐Ÿ”„. I know, logically, that it is always facing north, but every road is curvy, so it gets frustrating. I wish I had a regular paper map!! Old fashioned, I know, but it makes it easier if I could just look at it on paper, before we go.ย ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ“. And, now, weโ€™re off! ย Maybe Iโ€™ll write more later. After my session! Bye for now!๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ‘‹

I’m back ๐Ÿ‘ฉ! Although, if you read this it will all be together anyway. I’m not 100% sure this post actually uploaded correctly this morning. Had my 3rd laser treatment today. I haven’t noticed a huge change yet ๐Ÿ˜ž. But, Dr Khan ๐Ÿ˜ท is certain, without even a shred of doubt, that I will improve ๐Ÿ˜Š. So, I’m staying positive and hopeful, which I’m sure will help. Our minds are powerful and hope keeps you moving forward ๐Ÿ™.ย 

Mom and I (๐Ÿ‘ต&๐Ÿ‘ฉ) are enjoying ourselves. I’m pretty tired after the treatments, which has helped to create a great deal of silliness and laughter ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜œ (just in-case that hasn’t been obvious in my past few posts!! Lol!) We’ve also been watching Downton Abbey ๐Ÿ“บ, which my mom has been wanting to watch with me for some time now. So, I’m going to go now; that way we may get to watch two episodes before bed ๐Ÿ’ค๐Ÿ’ค.ย

We Changed Our Flight โœˆ๏ธ To Monday Night

I’m back ๐Ÿ‘ฉ and it’s even before 9:00PM!! That’s two nights in a row that I’m writing at a normal time. Yay me๐ŸŽ‰! ย We changed our flight โœˆ๏ธ to Monday night. So we will be able to go to the clinic ๐Ÿฅ for three extra sessions. Thankfully they are open both Saturday and Sunday. ย Changing the flight was a bit of a pain…

Around 11:00 my mom ๐Ÿ‘ต called ๐Ÿ“ž WestJet

The guy ๐Ÿ‘ด said, you booked through Airmiles ๐Ÿ’ณ, or did you forget?

So she ๐Ÿ‘ต thanked him and then she called โ˜Ž๏ธ Airmiles ๐Ÿ’ณ

The automated system ๐Ÿ’ป thanked her for her patience and her smiles ๐Ÿ˜ƒ.

The system ๐Ÿ’ป directed her call from line to line.

Finally asking if calling back ๐Ÿ“ž within the hour โŒš๏ธ would be fine.

Mom ๐Ÿ‘ต decided to wait until after to have her shower ๐Ÿšฟ

But we waited and waited โŒ›๏ธ, ever growing more dour ๐Ÿ˜ !

So she decided to have her shower ๐Ÿšฟ and no longer wait.

Of course that’s when her phone rang ๐Ÿ“ž, just like fate.

A little bit wet ๐Ÿ’ฆ,Mom ๐Ÿ‘ต then got on the phone,

To ask about changing the day we come home ๐Ÿ .

He put her on hold โ˜Ž๏ธ and said he’d get things on track,

Then we waited and waited โณand he never came back!

So once again we made the same phone call ๐Ÿ“ฑ

Back ๐Ÿ”™ to the automated system ๐Ÿ’ป, we had to restart it all!!

Finally we got to the place where it says they’ll call ๐Ÿ“ž you

And again we waited, there was nothing else we could do!

My appointment was lurking and we couldn’t be late โฐ

So mom ๐Ÿ‘ต got into the shower ๐Ÿšฟ, we didn’t have time to wait!

And I bet you can guess ๐Ÿ˜ what happened then…

Once she stepped into the shower ๐Ÿšฟthey called โ˜Ž๏ธback againโ€ผ๏ธโ€ผ๏ธ

LOL!!

86 And Going Strongย 

We just got back to the hotel after my first laser therapy treatment. I am feeling super tired. I was half asleep through the treatment. The doctor saw me first. He’s 86 years old and still works about 4 days a week! He talked to me about why I was there, we went over a bit of my history, my medications, and a quick physical exam. When he looked at my medications, he said, “oh, they’re throwing everything at you aren’t they!” There was a nice woman with him (not sure if she was a nurse or technician) and as he was asking me to do various things, like turning my head, moving my neck, etc., he was telling her to set this infrared to such-and-such and this other thing at something else. He listed all of these numbers and settings and she wrote nothing down, she was just nodding as he talked. However, when she took me to the room, she remembered everything he said and explained it to my mom and I. I guess that  different types and colours of light penetrate to different levels in your body (through the muscle, to the veins, bones, etc.) She was very very nice. Actually, the whole feel at the clinic is very comfortable and positive. It was just a nice atmosphere at the clinic. I almost fell asleep and I generally have a difficult time sleeping. The light pad things (obviously not a technical term!) were just laid against my skin on my neck and face and upper cervical spine.  They put dark, protective goggle things in my eyes (& my mom had to wear dark glasses. Then they laid the lights on me. They were warm, but not uncomfortable in any way. Every so often she moved them around. They also use a laser probe thing which they hold in certain spots and move around. These are more targeted and a stronger or higher intensity, so they go deeper into your body, sort-of…I’m not sure I’m explaining it 100% accurately. Please don’t quote me, I am most definitely not an expert!! All of these extra photons in my cells are supposed to almost energize the cells. This promotes healing and increase immune response. I don’t really feel like I’m explaining this very well.   Hmmm…It’s like sending microscopic energizer bunnies into my cells to get things moving again!!๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿ‡ 

Right now I feel exhausted. (I guess it can make you tired.) So, I’m going to have a little nap before we run out to get food. I go back tomorrow and Friday for more sessions. He was funny. He wants me to do 5 days in a row, especially since I am just starting with laser therapy. The way he said it is what was funny. He just stated this, more like a fact, not a question. He said, ” stay until Monday.” My mom said that we have flights booked that we can’t get out of. He just said, “that’s okay. I’ll just write a note for you stating that you have to stay for medical reasons.” I’m pretty sure that we’d have to pay anyway. We didn’t get insurance for the flights, not to mention hotel and food costs! And, my hubby works on Monday!  The good news is that they have units that can be rented. But…it always feels like, at the end of the day it’s cost…money, money, money!! These units are just the red and infrared lights, not the laser probe things. It’s something like $350/month, with a $350 deposit that you get back when you return the unit. We have to figure out what we’re going to do. If  for some reason the airline lets us change our flight, I may be needing one of my beautiful friends, who is reading this right now, to watch my little man on Monday. Highly unlikely though, it’ll probably cost too much!! It just feels like we came all the way here and we came to get treatment from the guy who came up with this type of therapy and now we may not be able to follow through with it in the way he recommends. Huh…

Live From Toronto

Hello everybody!!๐Ÿ™‹ Here I am again. Coming directly to you Live From Toronto!!!ย Woohoo!!๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

๐Ÿ‘ŠThrow ya hands up, โœ‹put ’em in the air, ๐ŸŽธrock it with me like you just don’t care๐ŸŽถ!! ๐Ÿ‘ŠThrow ya hands up, โœ‹get ’em up high, ๐ŸŽธrock it with me and we’ll go all night๐ŸŽถ!! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Thank-you, Thank-you! ๐Ÿ’‹ Please hold the applause!!๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Ah’ Huh…and this, ladies and gentlemen, is my brain on exhaustion (and I guess I do have a ton of medications, ๐Ÿ’Šso I could have said this is my brain on exhaustion and drugs ๐Ÿ’‰…). Either way, I’m sure you get the idea. I’m super tired right now ๐Ÿ˜ด. This is my current state; eyes close, head droops, body leans forward and then there’s the sudden jerk back up and “I’m awake! I’m awake!” (in my head), force eyes open,…and repeat! So I apologize for the quality and/or lack thereof in tonight’s post!

My first appointment with Dr Kahn isn’t until tomorrow, so after what felt like a very short night with only about 5 hours of sleep, we (my mom and I – ๐Ÿ‘ต& ๐Ÿ‘ฉ) had a long day. Even though we didn’t get into bed until about 2:00AM and it took me some time to fall asleep, which usually happens to me when I’m staying in a hotel, we had to be up by at least 8:30 โฐ. ย The free breakfast is taken away at 9:30 and that was one of the reasons we stayed here, also needed coffee โ˜•๏ธ! After breakfast, I had a nice shower ๐Ÿšฟ. It was a good one with decent water pressure. I just hate those ones that feel like they’re drizzling down on you. You know the ones I mean. You might as well be washing your hair with your 4 year olds cheap, barely working, dollar-store water guns ๐Ÿ”ซ … and, no, I’m not talking about the newer super-soaker type ones! ย Then we picked up our rental car ๐Ÿš˜ and got some running around done. We went to The Bay thinking it was attached to a mall, only to realize it wasn’t connected to the mall. ย This turned out okay because we discovered that they had the Easter Lindt chocolates on sale ๐Ÿซfor 50% off! I mean, who could walk away from that kind of deal right??! It was clearly meant to be! We also went to Rexall, Walmart, and Best Buy and picked up some much needed “supplies”: dry mouth spray – $15 (I need this because my medications give me such a dry, pasty mouth that I feel like I have to peel my tongue off of the roof of my mouth and I couldn’t bring the one from home because the bottle’s bigger than the allowed liquids on an airplane โœˆ๏ธ), an ice pack – $11 (I couldn’t bring mine on the plane because it is also considered to be a “liquid” – however I’m going to try to bring this one home and I’ll just play dumb if they question me – lolโœˆ๏ธ), pain-relief spray – $6 (for my back & shoulder that hurt because of the tension on my right-hand-side where I always have pain, from constantly tensing up and being in the same awkward position while holding my ice-pack), Neuragen – $27 (this is a homeopathic essential-oil mix that is supposed to help with pain relief for nerve pain and FYI, I just love the smell!), a heating pad – $28 (also for my back/shoulder pain and I forgot mine at home ๐Ÿ˜ช), an iPad case ๐Ÿ“ฒ – $20 (I’d been using the one with the blue-tooth keyboard, but I found that I don’t actually use the key board all that often and that case makes my iPad Air feel heavy and clunky. So I didn’t bring that case with me, but wanted just a basic, light and slim case on it instead.), food/water/drinks ๐Ÿป(to bring into the hotel, pretty self explanatory), BP’s, ๐Ÿ• (had either a late lunch or early dinner) and last but not least, and this is integral to have, wine ๐Ÿท(another self explanatory one!!)

Well, that’s a boring, glorified schedule of events…sorry it was on my mind. Now I really really need to sleep. I’m falling asleep as I write!!

Hello Toronto…ahhhh quiet

Got a notification today and I’ve officially made 100 posts!!! Woohoo!! Haven’t missed a day since January 1st!!!

We just arrived at our hotel in Toronto. It was a safe and quiet flight. I watched the movie The Foxcatcher, I think that’s what it was. It cost me $6, but I figured it would pass the time and make the flight go by faster, which it did. We were with the wind, so we arrived a bit earlier than expected. I think my mom and I must have looked lost, because a guy came up to us and asked if we needed a cab. I think it was one of those new services where it’s not a big name taxi company, but a person with his own vehicle. I don’t know for sure, but I think he scammed us because we were looking tired and lost, so just went with him. Yes, not smart or particularly safe. We aren’t far from the airport, but we paid $50 for the taxi, which was likely too much! ย But, we are here and checked into the hotel. It’s nice and quiet. A basic hotel room, it’s clean and cosy and I’m going to go to bed soon. Once I unpack a few things. So, today’s post is short. I have to run to find an ice machine. I couldn’t bring my ice-packs because they had too much liquid ๐Ÿ˜ช๐Ÿ˜ช.

Short and sweet post tonight. I did intend to write while in the air, but I couldn’t get to my iPad and I realized that I couldn’t open the site on my phone (daaa…no wifi Jenn!) and I don’t have the ap on my phone. So, this is all we get for today. At least it’s not all the negative bla bla bla’s I’ve been writing all week! Feeling hopeful โŒ๐Ÿ˜˜โŒโ€ผ๏ธ

Sleep Sleep Sleep…NOW!!!!

So, I had started a post when we were on our way home from my parent’s house. Huh…it’s gone, even though I carefully saved it. Frustrating!! I hope everyone had a great Easter and that you were treated well by the Easter bunny. I wish you a happy Easter and happy family visits. That sounds a bit weird. But, I’m tired now and I already took all of my night time meds, so I’m even more sleepy. This may win the prize as the most shortest post to date! Since I can’t find all of the other post, I will be having a very very short post tonight. 

I intended to have everything packed and ready to go before bed tonight, but that obviously isn’t happening!  I really have too much to do tomorrow and it will be a long day. I need a good night sleep!  

So for such a short post, but I need sleep. Really really badly. Last night in my beautiful bed for the week. So, hopefully a restful night tonight. I am praying for a good bed in the hotel. A bed I get to myself for 5 nights. It likely won’t be as nice as my bed here, but, it will be all to myself !!!!  Yay! I love my family to bits, but I cannot deny that I am looking forward to a quiet, week of R&R, plus, of course, laser treatments. That’s really all we have planned. We’re not really going as tourists!!
