Woke up with a splitting headache.  Tried to go back to sleep, but the stupid headache is keeping me up.  

so ma isn't doing real great. she spent a few days in the hospital due to her blood pressure and pulse being out of whack.  they ran a bunch of tests and made adjustments to her meds.  then the other night her pulse shot up to 170, and after taking some nitro it came back down. plus, she is seeing spots.  she had fallen one night and hit her head but didn't pass out, Lauren and Steph were there to pick her up and put her in bed. the next morning is when she started seeing spots.  she saw the doc yesterday but no answers to the spots.  although they did a CT scan and ran a bunch of tests, they are waiting for the results. IDK... 

i am thinking the stress of these past ...number of days has triggered this cluster of headaches.  i don't know why i didn't mention the events before. maybe ... i've been waiting for the "other shoe to drop" for so long, that i didn't want to face what is happening.  in any case, my eyes are killing me along with my head, so i can't look at this screen any more. ...
