As many of you know, I get headaches really bad, pretty much all the time. I have done anything and everything to stop them. People ask, do you grind your teeth, do you get enough sleep, do you get enough water, etc… I cannot link my headaches to anything and don’t worry, I have had an MRI and nothing. So that is good right! Anyhow, So a little while ago I went to the doctor and she gave me a great recommendation. She is going to have me take Vitamin D and Vitamin E. I guess they help open different receptors. I agreed to go ahead and start taking them. Why not right, If I don’t have to be dependent on pain medications I will try it! So wish me luck as I begin to take 2000 I.U. of Vitamin D and 800 I.U. of vitamin E daily!

Oh, PS if anyone has good sugguestions for other ways to get rid of headaches I am always open. :)

So A few weeks ago the manager at riverwoods called me into his office. He said I have good news and bad news. I assumed it was going to be about Riverwoods’ broken coin machine… Well I was wrong. Thinking that the bad news wouldn’t be so bad, I asked for that first. Well that wasn’t smart. He told me I was going to be transferred to the Pleasant Grove office. I was shoked and really upset for a while. After a week or so, I was alright with the change. So this post may be kind of dumb, but I just wanted to let everyone at the Riverwoods office know that I loved working with them. I worked with some awesome people and I will miss seeing them almost everyday. On the bright side, I drive about 5 mins to work… :) That is pretty awesome. Oh and so far in my first week here, I have enjoyed all the employees at Pleasant Grove. It will be a fun change for a while.

I thought everything went a lot quicker than it was going to, and really, Tyler said I was in and out in 13 mins!  Crazy.  As I left the office something was terribly wrong.  My eye was numb!  I could see out of it, but all the area around my eye was numb and then I couldn’t move it.  I would look one way and my left eye would follow but my right eye just didn’t want to move!  It had to have been the strangest thing I have ever experienced.  It took three hours to finally be able to move it.

On the bright side… I am healing great and there is still a little pain, but overall I’m doing excellent and I can see out of my eye! (Sorry, the picture doesn’t do it justice… I looked pretty stupid. )

I’m just Melanie McCracken. I’m short with brown hair at this point in my life, I’m hoping to be blond again in the next couple of months. I have many nick names which are pretty great. I would tell you them, but that might take a while. :) I love to listen to music. Oh and I love to watch Lost.

Me!
