Quite the Week

 

It has been one of those weeks.

Interestingly, I sit here this morning feeling okay about how it all has turned out. 

Monday morning we woke to so much snow, it was ridiculous.

My car was completely covered. 

I decided that my 'move your exercise' was going to shoveling snow.

There needed to be a path to the propane tanks and I needed to release the Lexus.

Monday was good. I got a good workout in.

Tuesday, after shoveling, I went into the house not feeling very well.

Then I got a flash type headache and my jaw started aching so badly.

Plus my left arm felt weak.

I was a bit worried but decided not to google symptoms and went to bed.
The next morning while journaling, I felt like I should probably google it.

That's when I had Makenna take me to the ER. Those symptoms were signs of a stroke.

They did a million tests, blood work, CAT scan, EKG, chest Xray, and found nothing.

I was completely healthy.

That should have been comforting but it was not because the headache and the jaw ache still lingered.

So Thursday I was babysitting Andi and Matt brought me lunch. 

As we sat and ate, I painfully came to realize that it was my tooth that was the problem.

How embarrassing is that? 

You're not having a stroke...it's a toothache!

I called the dentist and got in for an exam and this morning I am getting the tooth pulled.

Oh the reason for the weak left arm? Shoveling snow!

At least I can laugh about it, right!
