Well the doctor says no more coffee, but he didn’t say no more cokes, yes my coffee is on point for my migraines, but my alternative is Coca Cola. Thank God it tames the migraine, since no more coffee for me.
Over ice ahhhh!
If you can get it in the glass bottle, OMG!!!
My mom used to order these by the case, back in the 70′s. A Coke and a smile…
My brain hemorrhage has given me strength in ways that are difficult for some to handle. I am guarded, and I will not feel guilty about that. Let me see you, that is the best way for me to feel comfortable. It is a bit overwhelming when I have to adjust to everyday challenges sometimes, Don’t over look that please. It will only make me be more guarded, and not let you in. I am smart, and my short-term memory is an issue. But I’m awesome, smart, funny, and trying to find answers along with closure. It is very scary to me that the neurologist only told me that he don’t know why I had the aneurysm. Compassion is a must with me, I definitely have it. Eye see you…
I hardly ever go out much these days to visit with friends, because I don’t like for people to notice that my memory may be an issue, or that in the middle of a conversation I might start talking about something other than the topic that we were talking about. Well I’m glad I let one of my friends convince me to spend the day with her last week. She washed her face with one of those little white cleansing pads. I asked what was she using? She said ROC Resurfacing Disk. I asked if she thought it would help my skin, because my skin has changed a lot from all of the medicine I take? She said to me,” let’s try it for a week”. She had two jars, so she gave me one. I am so grateful and humbled, that is very sweet of her. Thanks girl!
OMG!!! my face has never felt and looked this smooth since I was a child. The disk already have the self foaming cleaner in them, so I wet my face and started cleaning. One side is soft and the other is made for exfoliation. I don’t remember to do things that I should do everyday as well as I should, so she call me every morning to remind me to wash. It only took four days to notice a major difference, my smile lines and the frown line in the center of my forehead are definitely thinner.
This morning I woke up with this horrible feeling of sadness, she called and made me get up to wash my face. I’m glad I did, because it made me feel beautiful.

Ladies You know all of the meds we have to take because of our brain aneuryms, subarachnoid hemorrhages, and traumas. My friend helped feel a little bit better about myself, by giving it to me. I am happy to tell you guys about it, try it out and keep me posted. Love
Today the sun came out. Through this whole process of trying to heal, I received validation. If I had my way I would not have had an aneurysm in my brain. The healing process is so stressful, the roller coaster of emotions, the headaches, fear and anger. It all takes a toll on you. By the end of the day you feel like you have been in a boxing ring. Underneath all of this is a wonderful person.
Faith and determination
I gotta keep moving moving Lord.
This journey of surviving a brain aneurysm is long and hard, but God is right here with me.
And that is all…
My brain has been trying to process what it must look like in person. Dove Soap billboards campaign in Times Square. Not bad for a girl who has suffered a brain aneurysm huh?

I think that I have fallen hard for him….kisses Maxwell has managed to do even what doctors have failed to do. Maxwell not only are you delicious, but I love your deep smooth brown color.(smiles) You always come through for me when migraine starts up. You don’t leave me feeling groggy when I take you in. The many pills that I have prescribed, leave me with backlash that makes unhappy, but you are Amazing!!! JUST SAYING
Some may think I’m crazy, but it’s okay. after all I suffered a brain hemorrhage for God’s sake! I know what’s working for me, and that’s my Maxwell House Coffee
Did I mention that I already had my Coca Cola over ice!

Migraine Barbie has Snapped! (Photo credit: Deborah Leigh (Migraine Chick))
Ever have a headache so bad that your eyelashes feel like they are hurting too? Today someone asked me how was I doing, and my response was that this migraine was so bad that my eyelashes hurt. Through the whirlwind of violent headaches, you have to find humor sometimes to keep from going bananas. Instead of this pain, I would rather to be productive.
As I lay in bed trying to relax. I imagined myself being a bull fighter, and the migraine was the bull. I was dressed in the beautiful bull fighter’s outfit. The jewels were so sparkly and red in color. That mean old migraine, I mean bull came charging at me over and over again. I had to use everything in my soul to fight him off. Hmmm wierd!
Just venting!!!
I know, I know- there are many doctors who say coffee is not good for you. Well I tried not drinking it, and my migraines became so intolerable that I would sometimes have to go the emergency room. So I started drinking it again, and the proof is in the pudding for me. Once I had a severe migraine while being at someone else’s home, I asked them for coffee and they gave me another brand. It didn’t help at all, so when I got home I made my Maxwell House. within ten minutes the migraine started to ease and the nausea a vomiting stops, so I know what I have to do for relief. I am in no way telling anyone else that this will work for them, just thought I would share that I is what I do, and it works for me!!!
Spring is in the air! The birds are chirping! I have breath in my body! Sometimes you just gotta push past what isn’t so perfect and be grateful for what you do have.
Positively I am drinking a wonderful glass of iced tea.
I received a picture of my daughter and grand daughters.
A friend called and to said hello.
The neighbor’s dog ran up to greet me when I went outside.
I watched a funny movie.
I looked in the mirror and saw a beautiful person, not just a person who survived a brain hemorrhage.
There is a nice breeze outside.
The flowers are blooming.
My migraine only lasted four hours today, and the foggy brain I didn’t let it frustrate me!!!
My mailbox didn’t have any bills in it, when I checked the mail on Saturday.
A beautiful male cardinal is sing his happy song!!!
Today I can say is a good day.
