Well, supposedly I am fine. I met with a neurologist on Wednesday that ordered a series of neck Xrays, as well as a CT Scan because she likes to have a base scan for her new patients. Apparently everything came back normal.
I'm only mildly comforted.
I'm relieved, of course, to hear that I'm fine. I'm still freaking out, though. I still don't know what was going on. To top it all off, I probably need to get a tooth pulled (it's been on my dentist's to-do list for a little while now, but apparently she never thought it was terribly important... now it's crumbling slowly. I miss my old dentist...). I headed home yesterday to get out of that town for a little bit, so I called my dentist this morning and wanted to reach through the phone and slap the secretary I was talking to. The "best she could do" for me was May 18. That's almost 4 weeks out. My tooth is literally breaking to pieces. I asked her for an emergency appt today and her response, I kid you not, was, "They're all booked. If you had called yesteray morning we could have fit you in." Is she fucking serious? Emergency appts are for, you know, emergencies. Like people usually know about those in advance. That's why they're Emergencies. So I guess I will be spending my afternoon looking into dentists up by school. Here's hoping I can get something soon. The timing of this tooth becoming an issue is fucking annoying. It's kind of one of the last things that I need right now.
On the trip back home yesterday, I got a phonecall from my building director on campus. Go figure, the one teacher who never checks his email (I let him know ahead of time about each class I'd be missing and that it was health reasons) reported me for missing 3 classes in a row. I went to the health center on Wednesday and spoke with the doctor, who gave me a note for my abscence. I wanted to make sure she knew what was going on, and so that I could get back into classes with minimal repercussions (not like I could have gone to class even if I tried). I will be meeting with the building director when I get back up there, so that she can set me up with Student Life to make sure the teachers excuse my abscences and get me the work that I missed. I get the feeling that teacher in particular is going to be a major ass about the whole thing. He is incredibly annoying, egocentric, and should not be a teacher. He is horrible. Hopefully Student Life can help me out.
Anyway, figured I would update again.
I really just want to live a boring, uneventful, completely average life. That's all I want, Universe. Simple.
-N.E.

Figured I should update. I'll try to make this quick. I'm not doing well.
Last week, up at the barn, we were getting ready for ANRC. We hosted it over the weekend and our team won! Pretty exciting. We are hosting IDA (dressage) Nationals this weekend, too.
( My long weekend )
Anyway, sorry I haven't really been posting/commenting the last week. I've been... beyond stressed out. And sorry this is such a downer post. I know most people would prefer to read happy things only... Just needed to tell someone, I suppose. Didn't know where else to say it.

Had a decent week last week.

Wednesday was an off day. Can't quite figure out why, but it was off.
Thursday I rode Twist! We had a lovely ride. I had almost forgotten how lazy he can get, and how nice his canter is. Compared to the last time I rode him, we did very well. He is overly sensitive and a huge baby about it, and I'm crooked, so we aren't exactly a great pair. He likes to pretend he is lame. Heaven forbid you land a touch too hard when posting. He drops his whole hind end and acts like he is broken and falling apart. It's kind of funny to watch when you're not the one dealing with him. If you get after him, though, he miraculously gets better three steps later! hahaha. It was a good morning.
Friday was a dreary kind of day. The whole weekend was dreary, to be honest. Temps were in the 20s with snow, hail, rain, and sleet. Saturday we had an event on campus called Rock The Quad. They held it in the cafeteria because of the weather. It really wasn't very good, to be honest.

To make this weekend longer, last night around 12:30 I had an anxiety attack triggered by a random sudden pain. Came out of nowhere and lasted just a brief moment, but it was one I haven't felt before. Those kinds of things I've been told are normal for everyone and nothing to be concerned about, since it is brief and not caused by anything. But health freaks me out. Probably around 90-95% of my anxiety and panic attacks are caused by health things, either freaking out over something small, or imagining something with no basis whatsoever and then overthinking it. After the fact, I know it's nothing and I'm fine. However, if I think about it too much it sets me off again. Still recovering from last night's incident. Just figured I would post about it mostly just so I have a record if need be.
