Gidday Folks! Back again for more online advice. No! Not the doggy!!!!
Anyone like to throw some suggestions my way on the following.....
Elysia just scared the beegeezers out of me! I suppose every cough, sneeze, splutter, cry of wolf, is going to do that for a while, till this surgery is a distant memory!
I've just been reading up on line and have discovered she getting all the signs of the "classic migraine". She had her first 2 days before her surgery and now it's happened all over again!!!! She gets the Aura of loosing her periphial (sp?) vision and then bang - it's headache, nausea, threw up twice, couldn't move the right side of her body (bloody hell, that would scare any new scoli surgery recovering patient) and couldn't speak properly. I was rubbing, stroking, icepaking, puffing pillows, rocking - you name it - I was 10 minutes away from calling an ambulance as "mother panic" was setting in.
The only thing that held me back was that it happened like I said 2 days before surgery AND the fact that she threw up and felt slightly better after the first (OMG - do you know what happens when a recovering spinal surgery kid can't bend over the loo to throw up??? - Do you really want to know or have you been there done that!!!!!!) that's right folks - pavement pizza!!! This parenting is just getting better and better!!!! I'm having soooo much fun at the moment!!!!
What do you think of my theory about toooo much radiation for Scoliosis patients??? We had 2 x-rays today to take to our appointment Monday. Maybe?? Coincidence?? In the last 8 weeks she's had a total of 7 x-ray exposures. That's a dam lot isn't it!!!!! Could this be causing the onset of Migraines???
What about foods?? Easter has just been so lots of choc around??? But why now - it's always been there, no sudden change in diet.
Gotta go - The revenge of "Chucky" is calling me!
