So if you read my last post, you know one of the answers to these cluster headaches was getting a perscription for oxygen. No big deal, right??? Well last night around 8:30pm the delivery came and what I was expecting was a tad bit different than what arrived. I was expecting a small, green oxygen tank that we all think of when we hear oxygen. Something I could just throw in the corner of my room and not be reminded that I am using oxygen at 30 years old. (just is a bit depressing)
The man asks me, "Is Colleen Fitzgerald home" and I said "Yes" and he said, "Is she in bed?". I responded with "It's me, I'm Colleen Fitzgerald". He seemed quite surprised and look at me strange and said, "I will be back in about 10 minutes because it will take me awhile to fill the tanks". After he left, I am thinking, how long does it take to fill a small green tank for the amount that I need it, which is whenever these headaches pop up, which is maybe every other day.
About 10 minutes later, I hear the door open and hear something quite large being wheeled through my house. I turn around to see a 5ft monster size oxygen tank, one that you would see at a balloon warehouse to fill about a billion balloons being put in my room. I immediately said to the guy, "You have to be kidding me" and he said, "If you think this is bad, you probably don't realize this is the smaller of the TWO"!!! WHAT?????? "Yes Mam, that is why I was a bit surprised when you said you were Colleen Fitzgerald because with this type of prescription for oxygen, I just assumed you were bed-ridden and planning on being on this for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week".
So now, there are two massive oxygen tanks in my bedroom and it is supposed to be the answer to my problem. So if you come by or see me outside naked and my kids running around the street, then you should know, I am probably on an OXYGEN HIGH!! Hey, I need to make the best of it, right???
I cannot believe it... Nolan is already 6 months today and it is such a great, yet sad feeling. I feel like time goes by way too quickly when you have children. I remember him in my belly like it was yesterday, picking my mom up at the airport 2 days before he was born so she could be here for his birth, driving to the hospital with a permanent smile on my face knowing I was about to meet my 2nd little angel, seeing Jack look at his brother for the very first time, sitting alone in the hospital just staring at him for hours just amazed at how perfect he was, watching Rob look at his 2nd son with that look of instant love, driving home with the most priceless item in our backseat to introduce him to his new wonderful life with his family that loves him more than words can describe.
