GUESS WHO'S GOING TO BE ON FOX NEWS?!?!
This is how my morning went:
(Sleeping in with crazy Charliehorses, because yesterday was an insane day from9 in the morning until 10:30 at night of nonstop epic cake awesomeness-- post to come)
MOM: "Holly..."
Still asleep Holly squaks: "Mrphghmm."
"HoOoOolly..."
Still squaking: "Huh."
"HoOoOoOoOoOoOLLLLLLY!"
My left eye is open, is it not? What in the world does she have to say? That is so important that she needs me to open BOTH eyes? "What?"
(All happy smiley) "So I have good news, and bad news, and really good news!"
Still half asleep. "K."
"The good news is that I picked up your prescriptions."
That was nice of her, but I'm not waking up all the way. "K."
"The bad news is that Dr. Blu cancelled your appointment on Thursday."
"K."
"The good news is, they called to reschedule so you can be on Fox News!!!"
"WHAAAAT?!?!"
:)))
Good way to wake up all the way.
So, why exactly do I get to be on Fox News? Good question.
Most of you know that I get Botox for migraines. For those of you who don't know: I get Botox for migraines. Now you're caught up.
I get shots of botox in my forehead, eyebrows, jaw, shoulders, and the crown of my head. It paralyzes the nerves that trigger migraines, therefore stopping them before they start. It lasts about 12 weeks, when I go back and get another round. (It's in five different vial--- five needles-- and last time we counted it rounded out to like 35-40 shots in a quick three minutes. PAIN) It just got FDA approved a few months ago, but I've been doing it since I was seventeen, and it's helped a lot.
So, my neurologist, from what I know, basically invented the use of Botox for migraines, and I was one of the first patients (relatively). SO, Fox thought it was cool, apparently, and wants to do a segment about it!
I just so happened to have my appointment this week, and they're shooting on Monday. Apparently, I'm guessing, they needed a patient to be interviewed for the segment, and my name came up!
Not only do I get interviewed, but my "appointment/dicussion" with Dr. B will be filmed, I'll be interviewed before and after, and if I agree (which I totally will), they'll film me getting the Botox (not attractive, but whatever!)
They said I'll be there for a few hours, but the segment will be cut down to, like, thirty seconds or whatever to actually show. I don't know if it's on national Fox, or California Fox, or if they'll be filming other patients, or how long the whole segment will be, or when it will air, but whatever! I'm going to be on TV!
Can you tell I'm stoked? Because I am :)
Quote of the day? MOM: "Having migraines has finally paid off!" We had a good giggle.
