I know I haven't been on in a long time. But I just wanted to give everyone an update. Though I promised myself I would be on here more often.
Well since October of 2015 I have been up in the mountains of Ohio. I recently returned home about two weeks ago. While I was gone I had not severe headaches or migraine attacks. I think I had two major attacks the whole four months I was gone. Could this be from a higher elevation, being in a less stressful environment, being able to relax more? Now that I am back home had to face my reality once again, all of a sudden I have had a migraine for a week now. I wish I understood these things. During those two attacks in Ohio, I realized I got dizzy, blacked out, and fell down a flight of steps leaving bruises on my legs that lasted a long time. I wonder if the symptoms are getting worse or are things progressing a lot faster than my doctors originally thought it was? I won't know until after my next MRI in another week.
I have found someone to help my exercise my beloved horse Trigger. Though I think it is time to give him up to someone who can give him the life he deserves. I just haven't been able to give him up. He is my companion and I have won so many competitions with him and though I cant race him like I use to I plan to continue his training and get ready for our last season on the circuit. After this year him and I will retire completely. He has earned his retirement but only at 4 years old I just don't think him or I are ready to call it quits. So we will be doing spring training in a few weeks and going to give the circuit all we can for our final year out there. I will bring home as many championships as I can. After September Trigger will be retiring and he will live the rest of days out as a beautiful horse and companion to me. So best of luck to us this season.
But surgically, as I finally came to complete terms with it all, hearing horror stories about people waiting for any type of surgery dealing with headaches and migraines, when I go to my next appointment I plan to see what I have to do to get this going. As I have been deemed as a patient to have surgery, but I have been putting it off because of my fear of it all. But I have an amazing support system going on with my sisters and a few of my brothers and a host of friends who are willing to drop anything and help me when I may need it. So we will see when and if this surgery will put a hindrance into my plans of racing with Trigger this or see if we can schedule after September. If not than I will just have to put off my last year of racing until I can do it physically. I am getting a lot healthier this year maybe this will help with the migraine attacks as well.
Well I just wanted to let my community that I am still out there just have been quite. I haven't given up on any of my dreams and I am still fighting to get these headaches under control like the rest of us. Good night and May God Bless You All.
