Can’t sleep

As I start to write this it’s ten minutes to four in the morning. No, I haven’t gotten up early, I just haven’t been able to sleep yet. Not sure what's keeping me up. I’m having the usual aches and pains. I don’t have anything pressing on my mind.  For me, I was up and around early with the only nap being the one I had in the MRI machine today. 

I’ve had 6 MRI’s in the year 2011. That’s an all time record for even me. I’ve had one CAT scan, 2 EKG’s, a variety of xrays on various body parts including my hands and feet. Two ultrasounds on my neck. One looking for clogged blood vessels and the other to see if there was any sign of a reoccurrence of my cancer. I had an EEG and a EMG.  Obviously countless doctor appts. More blood tests then I can count.  Needless to say 2011 hasn’t gone so well in the health dept. 

I’m really hoping that 2012 will at minimum not bring any more health problems. Obviously I would prefer to not be in pain every day. But at this point I’ll just be happy to not have any further damage and to not be diagnosed with anything else.

Hard to believe that this is the last official day of 2011. Where did the year go? Seems to have just flown by not only for me but for my family. 
2011 has brought many changes within my family some good and some not so good depending on how you look at things.  Positive is that we are all working to make things better for 2012.

I have my grandbaby over night tonight so Justin and Shawna can go out and celebrate. Oh to be young again. LOL…my idea of celebrating these days is sitting at home with the kids and watching a movie. 
Looking forward to having Ella over, I plan on taking a series of pics of her. I really hope they come out. I’m in serious need of a new camera so we shall see how they come out.
