Spent yesterday afternoon partly in the ER.  I've been having head aches for just over 3 months.  Yesterday was severe and the VA wasn't open just the Hospital ER.  They did the needles and tests and then CRT or what ever.  My headaches yesterday were off the scale and I couldn't wait for the VA on the 16th so short gown and stuff and my dutiful wife waiting for news we did the 4th step inventory which they mentioned that they on my head.  They found evidence of cranial bleeding outside of the brain with no evidence that I had ever experienced trauma...no slips and falls and no waling into doors or walls...nothing.  Still the cause of the severe headaches are mystery...so be it.  They allowed me to make the choice for or against 5 miligrams of morphine which after conversation I made a choice for...weird and then came home.  I decided for no work and to do some personal things which needed to be done in my personal life and rest and relaxation besides coming here to listen, learn and participate.  I have to admit I'm getting older no matter how I see myself so I'm taking care.  Thanks for being here with me.   ((((MIP))))) smile

Jerry, ugh, that does not sound fun at all, not one little bit.  What's the Hawaian for "Take care of yourself and feel better"?  We are all saying it to you!

Glad you are taking it easy. I've gotten a case of bronchitis myself, so I have had to take it easy too - it's really been hard to accept. I hope those headaches go and staty away!

Ho'omaika'i Jerry

That must have been fearful for you both, so I am pleased that you are finding out more about the causes of your headaches and accepting help. Take good care old friend, I've grown rather attached to that head of yours!

glad you got it taken care of too, Jerry and glad you opted for the morphine so you could get some much needed rest .. I'm sure this was a very fearful time too for both you and your wife .. equally fearful for her .. Will keep you both in our prayers on this end and glad too you got in there and took the next right action .. Glad you're here with us ! (((( Yes Lots of hugs coming into you; you are always an inspiration )))) I procrastinate with doctors (as long as I can grr) step 6 is coming .. hope

Just got back from turning the car over to my wife after VA appointment say get down and stay down...no driving and such and wait for appointment for Neurosurgery at Tripler on Oahu.  No additional information on the CAT scan.  Head pain has been off the charts so I guess I'll follow directions.

Peace and love to you all.  Will update to your concerns as stuff happens.  Aloha No.   ((((hugs)))) smile

Sorry Jerry. Glad you are following doctor's order, I know that's hard for certain stubborn individuals (such as me). Good luck on the trip to Oahu, I hope you get some answers and some relief.

Kenny
