So with all my medical bills this year and his company's business doubling this year, tying up our credit & cash in inventory, we were able to get family gifts, but weren't able to splurge much on ourselves. We didn't even get a tree since that was an extra expense & we didn't really have time to shop for one & set it up.
So...my husband apoligized for "failing" me this year as far as Christmas presents go. Like I don't realize where all our money has been going.
So far this year, I've had:
CT
MRI
consultation with neurosurgeon
angiogram
another consult with surgeon
Gamma Knife Radiation (including MRI & angiogram)
craniotomy to clip 2 aneurysms
MRI to make sure things were ok after headaches changed
visit to new neurologist
GK (without angiogram)
followup w/ neurologist
and I'm scheduled for another GK in June.
Well, my warped sense of humor kicked in as we were stuffing & addressing Christmas cards this afternoon.
So I told him that when people asked what I got for Christmas I could tell them I got Gamma Knife for Christmas. I even had a halo!
What did I get for my birthday? A craniotomy & a Whippet!
And I got Gk for my husband's birthday, too!
I started giggling & couldn't stop.
But seriously. He is the one who insisted that my doctor order a CT scan after the migraines got bad in April. He's the one who wouldn't stop bugging Dr. Kim's office until they scheduled me in for a consult the next day. He has taken me to all of my appointments and made sure to find the money somewhere in our budget for all of my expenses that insurance didn't cover.
He's the reason the doctors looked for the problem in the first place. I think he did a great job for Christmas!
