 and please pray for my 4 kids and hubby, we're leaving the kids alone at the hotel, as we're in the middle of moving and don't have family here in cincinnati.
 
 thanks!

          hi all, back from the hospital.  thank you so much for your prayers.  i was checked and a CT scan performed, so far results normal, could be a pinched nerve but they want me to watch symptoms just in case it could have been/be a very minor stroke or brain aneurysm or brain tumor.  if i get more symptoms/symptoms worsen the next step is a neuropathologist(?).  no headaches however so they told me only 25% chance it was a stroke (yikes!  i can't even believe i'm typing that word, i'm only 38!)  i was instructed to take aspirin for a month and then follow up with my regular doctor.  will keep you posted.

          Sorry to hear this, Stef! Mystery pains and illnesses are hard to deal with! I'm glad they ruled out serious things....will keep praying! Did they say it might be some strange thing from added stress and moving things?

 |  I can understand your anxiety.  I pray it was only stress related.  Stress can manifest itself in so many scary ways.

          Stef, will continue to pray it was not a stroke and all will be well.  Nothing like adding to the excitement of a move

          Strange...I thought I posted here yesterday after Stef's update.  My post seems to have disappeared.
