not another good day

I have had a tough day today. My headache on a scale from 1 to 5 has been a 4-5 all day. I again had shots in the back of my neck and they are not working. I have had this done three times this week and it has not been fun. They worked things out with my insurance to stay longer. I am not happy for that b/c I miss my wife and kids. But I do understand that they are doing all they can to help me. So, I am fine as I try and understand what is going on and how to deal with it. My little girl cries every night when I talk to her and it kills me. I just want to hold her.
I have tried to get a flight for them to come up and see me for fathers day and there is just no way. It is way too expensive and we just dont have it to do. It was worth the try. I have had many tests. They have not worked but we are at the drawing board to try more. I will have to stay two nights at a hotel to do two days worth of tests when I leave the hospital. I will have another test with a neuro-apthropologist(if that is how you spell it) when I get home. I went to the eye one and he said optic nerve was fine but wanted me to see the neuro guy to see the nerve endings further back. I see blurriness in both eyes and the doctors here want me to see what is going on. The two days of testing is for my short-term memory and what I can do to make it better if I can. Well, I am going to go lay down since I dont feel good. May God bless you all.
