Life at Kiawah...

We'll after 18 hours of driving to Washington and back, now the 3 hours trek to Kiawah is nothing! It is nice to finally be sitting on the beach with the Mp3 and listening to music. The beach is hot, but worth the view. The wild life is amazing. I have seen a gator, bob cat, deer, turtles, and a shark! I think when I retire this may be my spot.

Relaxing at the Ocean Course (Home of the Ryder Cup) is a favorite spot. It helps that they wait on you and spoil you.

My Drive through Georgetown (Washington, DC)...

So we left for Washington, DC to take Waverly to Georgetown University. We have fallen in love with this campus. It is beautiful. I'd like to spend more than one day here! We drove up to Washington, dropped her off, and back to SC we drove. It is an easy drive so I do recommend it, just not all in one day. Take time to walk the streets and enjoy the view. These pics were all taken from the car. haha

These are a few views from her dorm room. I secretely hope that she decides to attend Georgetown University. It is an amazing campus and great shops! Then maybe I can spend longer than a day in Washington...

Insurance companies....

I have heard horror stories about how insurance companies dictate our health care. Well I have experienced this first hand. On top of not being able to go to the emergency room yesterday, then I cannot get the proper medication or see a neurologist without their approval. I also learned that we are loosing good doctors due to high insurance premiums they have to pay due to people suing doctors. That could be another post! Why do people sue????

So now my fight begins with our "wonderful" state insurance. I now understand why people buy illegal drugs. They are easier to get! It takes an act of congress to get a simple migraine prescription. Anyone got any good drugs! haha

Emergency Room Visit

Ok, so this is my first attempt at blogging. I got this idea from a friend I work with. He bloggs almost everyday and I enjoy reading his blog so I thought I'd give it a try...

Today was not a good day for me. I started my morning in the emergency room with a cluster headache. For those of you who have ever had a headache, still have no conception of the pain. I have had a headache for two weeks and no amount of pain pills will get rid of the pain. Thus my trip to the emergency room. I sat there for two hours only to find out that the great state of SC insurance will not allow the emergency room to see me. I have to get a referal from my family doctor to go to the emergency room! Yes, they will not take me with state insurance. So, I get my wonderful husband to drive me all the way to Greenville to see my doctor. I then have to wait two hours in his office. By this time I was physically sick and about to go find my own drugs on the street. Finally I get in to see him and get some meds. I feel ok now, but have to go see a neuro. in two weeks. So for the next two weeks I will be on wonderful drugs to keep the pain a bay. By the way, there is nothing you can do for Cluster Headaches! So pray you never get one!
