This Too Shall Pass

Week 3 of Migraines.

Hopefully this will be the last week. Got diagnosed with a sinus infection yesterday, started antibiotics and also got a script for Imitrex Injectable.

All the blinds are down.
Bright light.

Be careful with Imitrex.
I am sure you & your Doc. have a very secure trust worthy relationship so I should not interject.
It is just that from what I know about Imitrex it can be a real wing dinger of a rush.
I am so sorry to hear that you are suffering from migraines. Yikes, those are the worst!!
I'll pray for some good ole intervention.
Hang in there willowy woman

Hugs to you!

I've had to become very good friends with the injectable imitrex at times in the past. If you put an ice pack on the area you're going to inject for a little while it makes it sting less...

Hope the new prescription helps!

Axe Me A Question

Go ahead and ask. Ask the questions you always wanted to ask someone in a wheelchair. Nothing is too embarrassing. You might as well ask me on this blog since you are somewhat anonymous and don't have to look me in the eye. What have you always wanted to ask someone in a wheelchair? Here, I'll start: Q: "Hi, my name is LaLaundria! I wanted to know how do you take a shower?" A: Well, LaLaundria, I sit down. On a shower chair. I have grab-bars installed in my shower/tub and my commode rooms to give me extra balance. A shower chair is a hard plastic chair made to fit in showers and tubs. I have a shower massage type shower head that helps get the water closer to my hair. Howze that? Ask away, no question is off limits! (Oh Jeez, what am I getting myself into!)

Can't we all just get along?

Lizards aren't cuddly, are they? You tell me. This is Ken, Baby Doll's new mate... hopefully. This is Cutie Pie, Junior's new mate... most likely! Here's a close-up of Cutie Pie This is Cutie Pie's and Jr's first date! I think it's love... so far, so good! Ok, here's the story. As most of you know, I raise reptiles . I have 2 snakes, I breed Leopard Geckos, and I have a toad and two Prehensile-tailed skinks . Well, now I have FOUR Prehensile-tailed skinks! My first two skinks were Baby Doll (female) and Junior (male). I had thought that they could live together, but it turns out that even though they are both the same species (prehensile-tailed skinks, aka Corucia zebrata ), they are different sub-species. Baby Doll is Corucia zebrata alfredschmidti (my spell check is going nuts right now!), and Jr is Corucia zebrata zebrata . (Here's a link if you want to read the technical stuff.) Needless to say, they did NOT get along at all. They literal...

Crested Geckos - great pet for the disabled

Image
A few weekends ago at the Austin Reptile Expo, I had the opportunity to meet a really neat woman who breeds and sells Crested Geckos. Since I have lizards as pets and have written before about how great they are as pets for disabled folks, I thought I'd write about the Crested Gecko in particular. The woman I speak of is Kati of Kati's Crested's . She's here in Austin, TX. I had never held a crested gecko before this Expo, but I had seen them in a tank at a local reptile store. They are very kewl lizards! Soft to the touch, almost like suede. The one I held jumped from one hand to the other and held on with it's prehensile tail! The crested gecko originates from New Caledonia (an island east of Australia). Adults range from 6-9" in total length. In the wild, they are nocturnal, arboreal animals living in the forests. Most wild specimens are tail-less, presumably because they dropped their tails while escaping from a predator. All of Kati's cresteds are c...
