Since some of you are asking what happened, instead of repeating my story many times, and since it is such a long story I will just blog about the incident.
Thursday morning (like 6:30am ish) I was at work, and I was just pouring off samples (I wasn't doing anything straining in other words) when all of a sudden my left index finger started to hurt really bad. It got so bad that it hurt to move or touch my finger. I thought that was really strange, and I couldn't continue working so I went to the Employee Health Clinic to see what they could do to help me.
The P.A. checked out my finger and hand and said that it seemed like the A1 muscle was going to snap. So she referred me over to the Orthopedic Center for Physical Therapy on my hand. They put a splint on my finger so I could somewhat function at work. I thought that was the end of it. I was wrong.
As the day continued, the pain started spreading up my arm, my forearm grew numb and heavy. I just ignored it and went on with my day.
The next morning my finger hurt even worse, and the other fingers on my hand started to hurt. I was getting random sharp shooting pains from my fingers all the way to my shoulder, but at the same time my arm started getting numb again and feeling really heavy. My left leg started getting the same numbing and sharp pains. From my knee down to my toes. I started worrying a little bit. I called the clinic and they told me to come back down. When I got there, the P.A. checked my reflexes and my eyes etc. Then he announced he wanted me to get a Brain Scan. He said it was just to make sure it wasn't something else, and he wanted to be safe. Well That scared me.
Then when I went to breakfast things steadily got worse. My head started hurting intensly, (mostly on the right side) my eyes felt like they hurt and were sore. I started getting dizzy. The right side of my throat started getting sore, and then numb. It got harder to swallow my breakfast.
I kept working, I figured I'd be fine later. The clinic called to let me know they had scheduled me an appointment to have an MRI. When they called I told them how my syptoms had gotten worse. They told me to go to the ER immediately.
My mom took me to the ER, I got there at 11. And then the long waiting began. While I was in the waiting room, my headache got worse, my eyes felt blurry, I felt naseous, and I started getting those aching pains on the left side of my neck and stomach.
After I finally got into a room, I explained to the doctor what the problem was. He checked my reflexes bla bla bla, and He said he would go get someone else. My nurse came in and I explained to him. Then a second doctor came in and she typed eveything down that I said, and asked me a ton of questions. She did a bunch of tests on me and checked some stuff out. She said she would go talk to her supervisor and come back. Then they drew some blood and did some testing. Another doctor came in to talk to me and did all the same things the other doctors did.
Everything looked normal so they came back and drew more blood for more testing. Another doctor came back and did the same thing.
Then a nuerologist came back and was talking with me for a while and doing some of those physical tests they all do. He said he would go talk to his boss and come back. A few hours later he came back with his boss. She did all the same things all the other doctors did. Then she said they wanted to get me in to have an MRI that night. She also said that it seemed I was going to start getting migraines (they run in my family) and they wanted to make sure that there was nothing behind the migraines that was scary, like a tumor. They couldn't explain the numbness.
They put in an IV and a few hours later I had the MRI. Now I have a bruise on my arm lol they poked me so many times. I'm a little clausterphobic so I was a little worried at first about the MRI but it wasn't bad. Its hard for me to sit still, and it took an hour for them to do their thing.
About an hour ish later they gave me the results, which they said everything looked normal. When the doctor told me, he looked pretty confused. They were all confused. Which brings up the question, "What the heck is wrong???"
I don't know, the doctors and nuerologist specialist don't know. So I am going to be following up with them constantly, plus hand therapy and hope my hand gets better.
So I missed work yesterday to stay home and rest. Doctors orders!! Although I was wanting to go anyways, Ryan said he wouldn't allow me to go to work. He's been taking care of me, making me tea, helping me get around (since I've had trouble seeing and walking) making me breakfast, lunch and dinner and bringing it to me, carrying my purse, even though I've insisted I can carry it myself lol. Cause that is how amazing and sweet he is =)
So thats it, that is my ER story. I was there for 11 hours. I am just grateful that I had my own room and I wasn't sitting out in the hall in just a hospital gown, crowded by other ppl. And at least my MRI is normal, I'm grateful for that too. I better stop typing, because my hand doesn't like it, it gets painful. (Stupid hand. gosh. lol)
Don't be too worried guys. It could be worse. =) I feel lucky, a lot of people at the ER had it SO much worse than me. So I'm grateful I'm not worse off. I just hope we can figure out what is wrong. =)

A Memorable Date Night
Last Thursday was one of the funnest date nights we've had in a while! We decided to go out and splurge a little. We went to the Red Iguana, love that place! It is always really busy but the wait is worth it, the food is delicious.
After we took a walk since it was such a nice day. We walked off some of that food! Laid in the grass and talked about random things, and held hands, feeling how we did when we first met = )
Then we went to Leatherby's to get ice cream. I wanted a small fudge sundae and when I asked how big the Marion Fudge Sundae was, the server made it sound like it was a good medium sized sundae. When they brought it out it was almost as big as that banana split we ate a while ago!!! (its on an earlier post) There was no way I was eating that entire thing alone! I was already so full from dinner.
While we ate our ice cream we played thumb wars (cause we're cool like that) and the servers there were just smiling and laughing at us. It was highly fun and entertaining just playing thumb wars! Ryan kept cheating, but I couldn't beat him anyways so it was all good fun.
At the end of the night Ryan gave me a branch of little flowers = ) its hard to see in the picture but they are so pretty and it was a cute gesture.
I sure do love date night.

Me throughout the past 5 ish years
I'm addicted to dying my hair
I decided I'm addicted to getting "new looks" all thanks to Ashley!! She does such a great job that when I want to do something different, I just have to text her and ask when she has time and what she thinks about a new idea I have. She always gives great feedback!
I was looking at pictures the other day and I came across a few older ones and then pictures of my more recent hair experimenting. Thought it was interesting....so I'll share the pictures. They won't be new to Ashley though she's seen all my hairstyles = )
This first picture is me at 15
Graduation Pics at age 17!
More Graduation Pictures
Me at work, when I used to work as an Assistant Teacher at Discovery Academy at 18
Me during our engagement pictures in the winter of 2007
Ashley dyed my tips purple this time! In October! Not too long after I turned 19
Then two months later she cut it, dyed it, styled it very nicely!
Walla! In February Took off 5 inches in the front, 6 in the back! Love my new hair cut
All black hair for a little while
And my current hairstyle! A redish color on top and black on the bottom. I love love love it! Isn't my cousin so great???
So there you go from 15-19 a lot of changes I think! I like the new me =) Can you believe I'm getting close to being 20!?!?!

March Update
So I know I haven't blogged in a while. Nothing way exciting has been going on for me to blog or not anything that involves pictures. But I figured I'd give everyone an update in case they're wondering what's going on in my world lol.
Life is good, just really busy like always. I'm busy with work, and I'm preparing myself to start college at the end of May (hopefully things work out). I've been going over to my grandmother's house and typing up family history. It's really interesting to read and it's always fun to go over and visit with my grandma, and I always leave with a full belly! = )
We also finally got our taxes done yay! Our first year filing as married = ) I'm just glad we got that done and over with. Also we are filing a law suit against someone I'm looking forward to that muahaha. LOL. It's been exciting getting all the information together and I can't wait for the whole thing to be over with in our favor, (well lets hope, it better, I have faith.)
At the moment my current frustration is work. I work 4 10's, Wednesday through Saturday 4:30am-3:00pm. My boss informed me on Wednesday that I have to change my schedule to 7 on/7 off or switch departments, although he said it in somewhat nicer terms. I'm extremely frustrated because he mentioned it to the night technician a few months ago, and has just barely told me, and said that I have two weeks to make my decision.
I have a hard time waking up at 3 in the morning for four days straight, I can't imagine doing that for seven days in a row! Especially since I'll be going to night school, so I will get less sleep than I do now! Which is only about 4-5 hours ISH. A week off would be nice for school and so I can spend time with Ryan, but the week on would be crazy!!! Then again if I stay on 4 10's I will only have a 3-day weekend which I'll probably use up studying and doing homeowork and have no time for Ryan or my family. But then again I am only doing my generals so school won't be that hard. PLUS I'm supposed to get a promotion in July, and I really love my lab and what I do, and I'll be demoted for two months of I switch labs. We wrote down a pro's and con's list but it didn't help too much. So I'm really upset that I have to either transfer or make life extremely hard for myself!!! I'm in a rut I don't know what to do!
Decisions, decisions. They are so hard to make yet we make so many choices a day without even thinking. Now I'm stuck on what to do.
Other than this little bit of frustration, life is good like always. My dad's birthday was on Friday, hooray dad, although he doesn't like to celebrate lol. I think he had a good birthday. The baseball season has begun so the boys have started practicing. I will need to put a few pictures of them playing, they are so cute. Cherisse is a cute little teenager. She's very dedicated to her homework and studies I'm so proud of her. And Jessica is graduating soon!!! I'm so excited for her too. it is so hard to believe how fast they're growing up.
Well thats about it. Nothing real special and exciting about this month. Just that its been a good one. Until next time...

A week off would be nice for school and so I can spend time with Ryan, but the week on would be crazy!!! Then again if I stay on 4 10's I will only have a 3-day weekend which I'll probably use up studying and doing homeowork and have no time for Ryan or my family. But then again I am only doing my generals so school won't be that hard. PLUS I'm supposed to get a promotion in July, and I really love my lab and what I do, and I'll be demoted for two months of I switch labs. We wrote down a pro's and con's list but it didn't help too much. So I'm really upset that I have to either transfer or make life extremely hard for myself!!! I'm in a rut I don't know what to do!
Decisions, decisions. They are so hard to make yet we make so many choices a day without even thinking. Now I'm stuck on what to do.
Other than this little bit of frustration, life is good like always. My dad's birthday was on Friday, hooray dad, although he doesn't like to celebrate lol. I think he had a good birthday. The baseball season has begun so the boys have started practicing. I will need to put a few pictures of them playing, they are so cute. Cherisse is a cute little teenager. She's very dedicated to her homework and studies I'm so proud of her. And Jessica is graduating soon!!! I'm so excited for her too. it is so hard to believe how fast they're growing up.
Well thats about it. Nothing real special and exciting about this month. Just that its been a good one. Until next time...

Cherisse's 13 Birthday
Ryan and I got Cherisse a blue I-pod Shuffle (that was on sale for $20) A little bell that had a butterfly on it, and a small black purse, big enough for the bell to fit in.
It took us about 30 minutes to wrap it....
Here are the pictures of Cherisse opening it:
It looks like its going to be something big....
I threw some shoes and some shirts in there to fill up the box
I told her to open this box first. Yes, that IS covered in duct tape
Duct tape is now off, time to open this box.....
This is what was found in duct tape covered box....time to unwrap it
Yay the bell and the purse! (bad picture you can't see the purse)
Now for present number 2
Hey look another box..!
more wrapping paper inside box...
Cherisse at this point says "Another box!?"
You can't tell in this picture, but its a small box inside the box. Its a ring box that we stuffed in
Ta Da! There's her I-pod shuffle and a little Happy Birthday note from me and Ryan.
The unwrapping portion of this long journey took much less time compared to the wrapping portion. Although I'm sure Cherisse didn't see it that way!
That night we also went to Chuck-a-rama for Cherisse's birthday.
February 28th, 2009 Cherisse turned 13 years old!!!!!!!!
I wasn't home that day I had long ago planned a trip to Idaho and Cherisse had told me she didn't mind as long as she got her present before her birthday. What a champ.
For her birthday she kept everyone busy. They went out to watch a movie, then out to dinner, then they went ice skating. Boy she really didn't want any cake or any singing going on!
Cherisse is so cute, I can't believe she's 13!
Happy Birthday!

Its been a hard two weeks
Last Saturday morning Kristy Batemen, age 18 died in a car accident.
I went to high school with her. I knew of her, but we were not close friends.
Last Saturday night, my friend Jesse Fankhouser age 19 got hit by a car, was had a seizure and was life flighted to the hospital. He has some brain damage, quite a bit of memory loss and horrible road rash. I'm grateful he is okay and that it wasn't any worse.
Last Wednesday Afternoon, my best friend Loren Waters Age 19 (This happened the day before her 19th birthday) was attending Snow College. She got in a car accident, the total impact of the accident was 140 miles per hour. Her seat belt and air bag saved her. She is extremely lucky to be alive. God was with her that day. Her wheel well broke her foot and ankle in three different places, her steering wheel was close to her foot as well, her dashboard was a foot away from her. I am very grateful she lived. I prayed and thanked God for keeping her safe.
Last Friday Morning, two sisters, Micah (21) and Shilo (19) Edwards, (two friends of mine from Jr. high and High School. Also attending Snow College, rooming together) Slid on black ice and into oncoming traffic. They were both killed instantly. They had been on their way home so Shilo and her Fiance could pick out an engagement ring. I attended their funeral yesterday. It was amazing how many people came to celebrate the lives of these two girls. They had touched the lives of many, many people. They will be missed by many.
My friend Loren actually got in an accident in the exact same place the Edwards girls did, just two days before, and it wasn't because of the weather.
Monday my family's beloved cat Licorice was hit by a car and killed. She was our cat for 11 years!! Such a sweet cat she was. She will be very missed.
I'm grateful my other two friends are okay. My heart is broken for the families of the girls who have been taken away from this life. Although they are now in a better place and have no worries like we do. I pray those families can heal and get through these trying times in one piece.

Valentines Day
The Consumer Holiday=Valentines Day =P(well its true!)
Ryan and I weren't going to go out, especially since we did Christmas presents, and then our Anniversary last month. And we both see Valentines Day as just a consumer holiday. Nonetheless we ended up going out with my friend AJ and his girlfriend Kat.
It was the Sweethearts dance at Kat's school, and since AJ will be joining the Marines before her Prom, he was taking her to Sweethearts as if it was the Prom. She is new to her school this year and she wasn't looking forward to going to the dance, plus she had no group or anything so she didn't think they'd have much fun. I told her to go to the dance for an hour or so, and then to meet up with me and Ryan and we'd go out to dinner. I also let her borrow a dress.
So I got all dressed up and ready to go out to a nice dinner. =D
We met up at Gateway and we picked Biaggi's Italian Restaurant to eat at. It was delicious! We got appetizers, soup, our main course, and then dessert. The entire thing was soo good and it was a VERY good price!!!!!! We had a blast there. Then we ended the night by saying goodbye to our friends, and we went home and crashed. We were stuffed. It was a great Valentines Day.
Luchito's 10th Birthday
I've been slacking! Luchito's 10th Birthday was January 28th. We had a fun time. My mom bought a small birthday cake for the family. He is so cute, I can't believe he's 10 now!
I only took a few pictures. I was experimenting with my new phone, how you can put different borders around. There are Cherisse and Michael, Wanted for being so darn cute! We had a good time eating the delicious ice cream cake. That weekend, Luchito had a birthday party and my mom bought a humongous cake. Luchito also had a lot of fun. I'm not supposed to be calling him Luchito, he likes to go by Luis now, but I have a hard time remembering that! Pretty soon Cherisse's Birthday will be coming up, hopefully I won't take a month to put up the blog for that.
