Nick had been at the early intervention program for a couple of years, it was time to look for school's for him and one came to me through another person. It was a special school. I was right to go and have a look. It was an eye opener for me children with high needs wheelchair's and I thought to myself does Nick belong in a school like this one, to me he didn't fit the category but in fact he did. He started the next year in the 4 year old early intervention. It was sad to leave the other one it was a safety net for me, but it was time to move on. He did extremely well at his new school. I would love to send my other children there but they don't fit the category for a special school. The kids the teacher's the aids are wonderful. Nothing was to hard for them and always willing to listen and help if I needed it. The kids are treated with dignity and respect some things that are a miss in main stream school's I find. Nick started Prep the next year and No 2 Son started 3 year old kinder. This is when I started to become quite unwell, it would take two years to find out what the problem was. It started with Migrane's I would be shopping bang migrane I would wake bang migrane, then my back started to play up. I couldn't sit I would have to lay down on the floor to watch TV I would be walking the floors of a night because my leg's where spasming so much, I would go see physio's, chiro's osteo's they couldn't fix it. To the Doctor's time and time again, CT scan's nope nothing. Then my doctor suggested I go and see a Eye Specialist. I went he checked me out then told me the disk's behind my eye's where swollen, I should go and see a Neurologist. I went to see him, well we need to do some test's. Brain Scan and Lumber puncture. Bloody hell I thought to myself. The Brain scan was horrible, cage over the head in a tube geez. Then off for the lumber puncture, that was even worse especially when you hear the Doctor outside saying good luck for your first time OMG are you serious. I wanted my husband to stay but NO he couldn't that was one of the worst situations I have ever had to endure. After this they came and told me I had blood in my spinal fluid and too much Protein. They thought I had an aneurysm in the brain. I had to stay overnight and have an angiogram the next day where they inject the dye horrible process it was like hot flush going through my veins Yuck. Anyway they said no you don't thank God for that. I had what they call benign Intracrainial Hypertension which is fluid on the Brain Tablet's would help this the side effect's where horrible. But this was still not the Problem. I will get to that next time.
