When it rains...
It pours!
After having a great day on Friday (great meaning no headache), I woke up Saturday with a pounding migraine that just took me out. I finally gave in and took the Tylenol-3 I had been perscribed. It made me feel more relaxed and calm, but I still had the headache. In fact I had it up until yesterday at about 9 pm. I didn't get ANYTHING done over the weekend. Yesterday I should have called into work, because I was in a lot of pain and just out of it. But Mondays are really busy and I didn't want to leave anyone in the lurch. And we get charged double time for calling in sick Monday or Friday.
Anyway, I finally called the doctor Monday morning because this sucker was not going away. I waited until 4 pm for them to call back and tell me they couldn't help me because I needed to see my PCP. Of course. So I call my PCP and they don't call back until 7pm to tell me to take a double dose of the Tylenol 3. Ok, I could have done that in the morning! Sigh.
Added to which, I hit my head twice on really sharp corner cabinets yesterday and when I got home the house was a wreck. THis is after going to my mothers and cleaning up her house and helping her shower. So I start cleaning my house and making a huge batch of spaghetti for lunches for this week. I didn't eat until around 9 pm at which time my headache miraculously went away on its own.
Then, to cap off the night, I lost a contact. I wear hard contacts, so for a few days at least, I have no other alternative but glasses, and I can't really see in them. So although my migraine is gone, I have an eyestrain headache, LOL.
I am like my own comedy of errors. But at least the migraine is gone and I have lunch. And Dan has lunch. Oh and he finally got his permanent shift- he isn't thrilled about the location, but it is the 6-2pm shift, which is the best (in my humble opinion, since I like seeing my husband)! I am excited about that. Now we can take the birthing classes and all without worry. Yay.
Have a nice day!
