Moving along on the "light duty" front at work as I am now able to be on a semi-regular schedule at the residence, and am only working with certain residents. I'm still doing the physical therapy thing 2-3 times a week, and it's still kicking my tush. Of course, physical therapy is doing a great thing for my back so far and I'm thankful for that. I still have a LOT of unpacking to do here in the apartment (clothes clothes and more clothes) but the rest of the apartment is just about done! We're really settling in quite well, and I'm very happy with it.
I haven't had to take of my "rescue" headache meds in a few weeks, which is incredible. I am so thankful for the headache doctors that I have working with me right now... it sure took a long road to get to these specialists, that's for sure. I got poked and prodded enough times to compete with a pincushion over these 4 years! To even say that I've had this headache issue for 4 years is surreal. It's surreal, it's scary, it's funny, it's sad, it's hilarious, it's sick... but it's something that has just grown to be a part of me that I have just had to accept that is not going anywhere right now, and it's something I have to "suck up and deal with". It has made me a different person, but it has made me a stronger person.

wow. 4 years. glad you seem to be seeing some improvements! i'm just over 3 years now....in some ways it feels like it's been forever, and in some ways it feels like i still don't know how to deal with it. i'm sure you know what i mean.
Four years. I am at 2 and a half years now, and I can't imagine how I've done it even this far. Some days I think it's a miracle I'm still here.
You are stronger. I am stronger too, but I'd give up all that strength in a heartbeat if my freakin' head would stop hurting. You know what I mean...
Had my first MRI today. It was odd, but I'm glad it's done.
