Many Blessings and LOTS of FAVOR

Boy oh boy do I have a story to tell.
This weekend has been crazy...what started out gr8 almost ended fatal...I have been moving out of my place for the past couple of weeks. My LSs and friends have been helping me and for that I THANK YOU! Saturday afternoon we finally finish unpacking and I take a shower and get dress to hang to out with some girlfriends to eat! We all eat at smokey bones. Then we head to movie.Then right before the movie starts my heads begins to hurt...I thought nothing of. It at worst, and began to watch the movie. Next thing I know I am thinking girl do you have epicbelpic...so I go what if I do, then I go let's just close my eyes, bc I'm not trying to find out and start having a ceshar right here at the movies...so I just listened to the movie with my eye close.(What. Fun.lol) then one of my girlfriends go are you sleeping in a joking matter, and I go no my eye hurt...so another girlfriend(who always has something handy in her purse.lol) gave me a eye drop...so I'm thinking maybe my contact is a little dry...nope didn't help...the movie ends I don't know if the cowboys or the aliens won the battle.lol. Heck the indians probably came in and defeated both of them.lol. My eye was beginning to blur, my friends had to director me as to which way to go!!! It was crazy...one of girlfriends told me I think you have a migraine, I get thoughs all the time and that action pack movie was not helping...I never had a migraine, sratch that I have never been sick(knock on my wood, your wood, and everyone else too) so she gave me some medicine to take and told me to lay down when I got home...take the medicine was a chore within itself for me...
I took the medicine and said a prayer and got on the road...Bad idea!!! My eyes started getting blurry and eventually I couldn't see out of one eye!!! I was driving I kid you not 10-15 mph...I didn't make it far, so I pull into the parking lot of a hotel and call a few people in the area...I don't know if they thought it wasn't that serious or what.One actually wanted me to drive somewhere so they could meet me.What?!? I can't see, I almost died driving from one part to the next.I was just sitting in the parking lot crying bc my eye was pounding and I didn't know how I was going to get home.Luckly I called one of my girlfriends(so thankful to have a friend like her in my life) and she came and rescued me!!! When she came I was hutched over in my car...that's when I wrote a message on fb asking everyone to prayer for me...I was in so much pain, I got her to drop me off at my old apartment...it was completely empty but I had my silk pillowcase. And I just laid on the floor of my empty apartment said a prayer that my head/eye felt better in the morning.But then my phone had died...

The next morning I awake to the bright sunshine of the sunrays, to many that's wonderful, to me it was painful...my head hurt so bad, I just cried and cried on the floor until I fell asleep...I didn't know what time it was bc my phone was dead, and I still had to do some last minute cleaning to my apartment!!! I slowly pick myself up and drag myself to my car to charge my phone...after about a nice 5 min charge my phone starts to come to life...Then all these miss messages...come get your stuff from my apt. I have to be out by 10am today...I look at the phone its 950am..then my ls call, can you come get your stuff...I'm like my head it throbbing I can't see can you just drop it off at my place pleaseeeee....nope...I drive with my strong right eye to pick up my things.Mind you I am driving 10 mph again...cars are honking and cussing at me.

I finally get there get my things...at this point my eye is pounding but I have on dark shades, that somewhat help from the blazing sun..I pick up my items and don't say a word...I was pissed...I then just sit in my car and lay my head on the steering wheel and prayer again...then someone starts bamming on my window nicole are you ok, I want to say hell freaking no, but that's rude, and even sick I'm not mean. I just said no...you wanna lay on our couch for a while, no I said...I said another prayer and drove off slowly....I didn't get beeped at this time bc there were only 2 cars on the road this time...I get to my apartment and I realize that I still had to vacuum my apartment... So I emptied some items and threw some more things away...and finally vacuum...but then it was 12pm noon and I dropped my key off...and drove to a friends house. I hadn't eaten all day, and wasn't in the mood for food...I literally laid on her couch from 12pm-1030am...when I awoke my eye STILL hurt but not as bad bc it was dark. I looked at my phone and realize that I had a couple  of missed messages...a friend/coworker of mines and I were suppose to go to mediations(something that I have wanted to go to for a while but bc of my schedule I haven't been able to) called and I felt horrible so I told her that I thought I had a migraine and she a bit of herbalist. So she gave me some oils and instrusted me on how to use it. It was some good advice though. I did what she said and eventually I fell a sleep.

I woke up the next morning feeling a little bit better... But my eye was still sensitive.I called my boss and told her what's going on and could dhe set aside some medicine for me when I come in. I also called my mom and told her what was going on. I finally made it to work, after I did a room expection. She gave me some goody power, and after a few hours no results...so I decided to drive to the E.R. I was trying to avoid that mainly because I am broke and because I am broke. To make a long story short. I went to two different patients first and an eye doctors before they were able to determine what was wrong with me. The doctor said I had acute irituis. Which shows are the systems of a migraine but it isn't.

The blessing behind it all is that he told me if I came in a few days l8r I would have been blind in my left eye! Another blessings was that I didn't have to pay for anything that day incl. My medicine. Although a good girlfriend of mines was willing and actually drove down to help me pay for my medicine. I had to put drops in my eye for a couple of days and now I am all better. Went back a couple of day la8r for a follow-up and he told me that he's glad my eye got better bc it could have gotten worse.(Not something you want hear when ur in the doctors office) I now have asigigmism in my left eye :( but it was better than being blind.
