Progressive Headaches

Yesterday and today, starting in the early afternoon, I have been getting progressive headaches. By the end of the night it hurts so bad that my eyes start watering - just tears streaming down my face. It's on the left hand side, the tumor side, and it throbs in the back, the tumor spot. It hurts so bad. And by the end of the night, like right now, it's on fire. I have no idea why it would progress like this. I'm scared. Has anyone else had anything like it? Especially tumor folks? I wouldn't be so afraid if not for the location. When I push down on the "soft spot" in the back of my skull where the incision starts, it lessons the pain a little. But that spot has always hurt to the touch so I don't know if adding the pain of a new location is just distracting me. 

Please let this not be a recurrence.

Please let this be a fluke. 

Please make it stop.

Nothing helps. Not water. Not asprin. Not anti-inflammatories. None of my supplements. Not rest. I'm lost.

Converting the Baltimorites

Over the weekend Dan and I hosted Jess Abu and her husband Dre. Here are some of the highlights...


Clearly we don't take ourselves that seriously, which I think is why we have so much fun! From Susie's Mopeds, with the protective rainwear jumpsuits, to all the ridiculous sunglasses we found for $2.99, to the electric boats on Lake Union, and everything in between. Jess is still here for a few more days - I wonder what other trouble we can get into?!

Every day is a gift. Every laugh, every memory is just icing on the cake.
