First Week Back to Work

Exciting times!  It was our first week back to work this week!  

First off, Jon update:  He is doing well, but he is still having headaches.  I suspect that pesky spinal headache is still lingering, but there were other issues as well.  He was taking too many NSAID's (non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs) to keep the headache at bay, causing a rebound headache.  And then I found out he stopped taking his Topamax because he didn't feel it working.  I explained both, and now he is taking less Advil/Aleve and is taking his Topamax on a daily basis. His headache did get bad enough that he did have to take the migraine medicine twice this week.  
And thanks to being in the hospital and being off work, his sleep schedule is out of wack.  We're working on that.

So, Jon had a nice, short week.  He had off work Monday for Martin Luther King Day and then a three hour delay on Tuesday, basically making it a half day.  That's good for a comeback week, nice and easy.

I managed to catch a nasty cold, I presume in the hospital, and dealt with that all that funness this week (achoo!).  Went to the doc, but the funny thing is, we spent the majority of the time talking about Jon, not me.  I feel like his wife, mother, and nurse.  But it's not a bad thing to be needed ;)
