Pictures & CT Scans

Here are some pictures that go with my last post. I am home for Thanksgiving now and my internet at home is SO much better than the internet at school! :)

This is my mom and I on the day of the Ride for a Cure (this is the day I started my match-making skills for her and Tony)

This is Tony and I taking off - nice helmet, right? :) I'd much rather have it and not need it than ever need it and not have it!

This is Steve, I call him my brother, and he's the one who got me started liking bikes and riding :)

This is my dad and I at the zoo the weekend he came down for his birthday. If you can't see the sign, it says "Reeves Muntjac" it's an animal at the Mesker Zoo!

Harley Girl and Cereal Killer at the halloween party! We all had a blast! It was a very fun night with lots of food and games and just getting to hang out with one another.

So those are the pictures...now, I'm sure you are anxiously awaiting the CT Scan part of my blogging adventure for the day...well here goes!

Since this past Sunday I have had a headache from you know where, along with some crazy dizziness and a little bit of nausea. I have taken advil, tylenol, excedrin migraine, advil cold and sinus, and aleve and NOTHING worked...I was getting very discouraged...my mom convinced me to go to the doctor today...only my doctor wasn't available because the office was booked. So I went to Convenient Care...big mistake...big...huge...I have to go shopping now! Haha sorry that's from Pretty Woman! Anyways! I go in, tell the nurse all of my symptoms, the doctor comes in (sporting IU scrubs!) and I retell him everything I told the nurse, he looks in my eyes, ears, nose, mouth...asks if I have insurance...then tells me that I have an inner ear infection so he's writing me a prescription for pain medicine, muscle relaxer, and he wants to send me for a cat scan just to make sure there's nothing serious going on...like a tumor on my sinuses...now I know I didn't go to med school, nor will I ever...but really man? I've had a headache for 4 days and you immediately think it's a tumor?? It's NOT A TUMOR (to quote Kindergarten Cop). It was a ridiculous/interesting experience and I left, never got the CT scan nor the prescriptions, and I went to the orthodontist and he told me it could all be from tension and grinding my teeth. I now have a very fashionable mouth guard to sleep in to see if that helps any. Did I mention that he touched my temporal lobes and I about jumped up out of the chair? That's when he said, "Hm that's from tension." and the rest is history. My orthodontist is hilarious.

That was my day of excitement! It rained all day which made me sad because it was a very cold rain and I would much rather have snow this time of year than rain! I tempted to make sugar cookies and decorate them and failed...my icing was gross...my tips wouldn't stay on my icing bags...fail...almost epic...but that is A-okay because tomorrow is Thanksgiving!!! I will be going to three, yes THREE, Thanksgiving dinners in the course of 4 hours...I will be a plump little turkey by the time tomorrow is over and I am oh so excited about it!

20 days until I will be home for Christmas break!!!
