Not A Thought In My Mind

Maybe that’s a good thing for me as I’m constantly thinking. LOL It’s bad if one wants to write though, WORD BLOCK!!!

It’s so nice in my room right now. I’m lounging in a comfy chair, almost like a furry bean bag, but it’s a cushion on a bowl with a base to it. I’m right next to my window, with the sun beaming through. Warm. Toasty. I hear the wind blowing outside and hear a wind chime in the distance. In my house, all I hear is SILENCE. I have my hot camomile tea in my mug on the floor within reach. It’s so nice, relaxing, and peaceful here.

I had to take a couple of Tylenol before to get rid of my headache. Maybe that’s why I can’t think right now. Does anyone else get this? Sometimes before it pours, snows, a big storm, I feel sick. I get a pounding headache. If I don’t take Tylenol, it gets worse. I get very nauseous, vomit ALOT, and lay in bed (feel too sick to get up) All of these symptoms I experienced when I had the strokes way back when in February 27th, 2014.

My Neurosurgeon (who’s retiring this year) told me either I’m dehydrated or it’s the weather. Since I have a shunt in my head to drain the blood gathered in my brain to my stomach, the Neuro-surgeon says I have to drink about a gallon of water a day. That’s 128 ounces I believe, correct me if I’m wrong. Also before a storm, he says my brain swells. I looked it up, I’m a “human barometer”. I know if I get sick, it’s really going to rain or snow. I don’t get sick every-time luckily. He says to avoid getting sick, it will help if I am well hydrated, have a full stomach, and take two tylenols. Two tylenols are key for me. When I start to feel sick, I have a slight headache initially and quite fatigued. I don’t feel like my usually self, where I’m very motivated to keep busy. I just want to surprisingly take it down few notches and take it easy.

Does this happen to any of you? It would be nice to know I’m not alone. No one I know gets this. Well, hope everyone had a great day. It’s suppose to snow this Monday thru Tuesday or Wednesday. Everyone be safe if you’re in New York or in another state expecting snow. Oh and if you’re anything similar to me and get sick now with storms after the strokes, believe me, Tylenol is a life saver for me, which I highly recommend. Be well.
