Hooray...no headaches...

Since Jeff got out of the hospital in Chicago on January 19th....he has only a few headaches. He would rate them as 1, 2 or 3's at most. But the greatest thing is that he has had 5 days in a row with NO headache! I am sooooooo happy for him.....it's like getting my old Jeff back. It is a challange with eating the right things as they are not foods that you would think would be right to eat. ie: he can have American cheese but no Swiss etc. He cannot have raspberries, bananas or pea pods or peanut butter, but he can have coffee cakes, etc..... and the list goes on.  We are cooking fresh, eating 3 times a day (on time) and going to bed at the same time each night and getting up at the same time.  It is real important he takes his meds on time.  He is doing biofeedback daily, especially if he feels a headache coming on.  Jeff called this morning and he is really excited and happy to be back to work.....and that's a good thing!

Everything else is "ducky" around here.  We had Molly & Anna Saturday night while Jen & Dave went out on a date.  It was fun having the kids here, we love it!

P.S.  the National Headache Foundation has the recommended "Low Tyramine" diet that Jeff is on.  If you want to check it out - here is the link:    http://www.headaches.org/pdf/Diet.pdf                        It is good for anyone who suffers headaches of any kind.

Have a wonderful week!
Love, Janet

HI All,

This is fantastic news! I am so happy for you Jeff and also Janet. I hope you can get back to normal (as normal as the Hopper household can be) now that Jeff has some control over his headaches.

Great news!

Love,
Lyn
