Head still attached but barely

So I emailed my doctor over the weekend asking to come in this week because my headaches from my head injury are still constant and I have enough health problems to begin with without adding to them. I got an email back Monday morning stating my doctor is still out of town but I could get in that afternoon with her counterpart. I have seen her several times and really like her so off I go.

I go over what happened and how stupid I really was for not seeing the wood there and how idiotic I was for hitting my head on it the second time like I couldn't see AND feel it there the first time. My results of my head x-ray were in and she said that was normal and asked me where the pain was. I said the headache is all over pretty much but the pain is at the base of my skull into my neck. She said they only x-rayed your head and didn't do the base or the neck!! UGHHHH! So she sent me back with big letters stating do the base of the skull AND the neck. Meantime the radiologist twists my head into a pretzel and smiles and says hold that position now! Yeah right come here and say that to me!!

She started me on anti-inflammatories to at least try and get the swelling down back there and sent the paperwork in for my cat scan. She said it is completely up to the Radiologist of who gets priority but she sent it all off while I was there. I got my prescription and toddled home. By last night Keith had to get me a blessing as I was doubled over with nausea and my acid reflux went into overtime. I had even made sure I had eater before I took the medication but because I basically don't have any stomach lining left from my illness it was too much. Oh what a joy it is to be 50!!!

Nothing more on news for my cousin. Nothing in papers nothing anywhere :( I feel so helpless way out here with no family contact. My mom calls every day to ask if I got any news as she knows I can search the internet but there has been nothing since last Thursday. When does a person stop looking? When does one draw the line and say I have to go back to my life etc. I think of my own children that are grown and what would I do if I was in my uncle's shoes right now in another Continent let alone a different country. My heart aches for him and my other cousin that is there. I wish I could give them a hug and tell them my hug is there for them as well as my love.
