Ah’ Huh…and this, ladies and gentlemen, is my brain on exhaustion (and I guess I do have a ton of medications, 💊so I could have said this is my brain on exhaustion and drugs 💉…). Either way, I’m sure you get the idea. I’m super tired right now 😴. 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 – 👵& 👩) 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 ⏰.  The free breakfast is taken away at 9:30 and that was one of the reasons we stayed here, also needed coffee ☕️! After breakfast, I had a nice shower 🚿. 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 🔫 … and, no, I’m not talking about the newer super-soaker type ones!  Then we picked up our rental car 🚘 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.  This turned out okay because we discovered that they had the Easter Lindt chocolates on sale 🍫for 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 ✈️), 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 – lol✈️), 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 😪), an iPad case 📲 – $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 🍻(to bring into the hotel, pretty self explanatory), BP’s, 🍕 (had either a late lunch or early dinner) and last but not least, and this is integral to have, wine 🍷(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!!

To help with research and treatment for Trigeminal Neuralgia please go to http://www.tnnme.com (Trigeminal Neuralgia and Me) to sign a petition to have the World Health Organization (WHO) add Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) to their “Health Topic List”!   

 Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!
