Migraine shmigraine

I had one of my worst migraines ever today. I woke up with it at 3:30am, so I took my prescribed migraine killer, but when I got up for work at 4:45 it was still hanging on. I never get nauseous with my migraines, but this time I did. I even had to hurl into the trash can outside the Kiss studio a couple of times. Too much behind the scenes info? Hey, I'm just glad no one from one of our sister stations happened to be walking by to witness that debacle. When JJ and I changed shifts at 10, the first thing he said after "hey" was, "Are you okay?" I must have looked more pastey white than usual. He let me go a few minutes early. He's such a sweetie.

So I got home, took more drugs, and crawled into bed. I didn't get up until 4:30pm! I didn't sleep the whole time, but the only acceptable position to keep the throbbing at a minimum was on my right side with my head on two pillows and my right arm underneath. Migraines suck. I asked my doctor for new migraine drugs a few months ago and she let me switch, but I think I want the old drugs back now. I never had any all day migraines with those, but I had to give myself shots and I didn't like that part. After today I'm thinking shots are good.

Angela sister Amanda, and her husband Steven, and their 6-month old son Gavin are here for the weekend and they all went to a barbecue for a cousin in Fort Worth this afternoon while I was incapacitated. Nothing they could have done for me anyway. I had regained the ability to function by the time they got home and I could effectively bond. The hug from Angela felt great. Once you survive a near death migraine experience everything becomes a little sweeter.

Time to go join the pool game upstairs. I'm wide awake! I may actually be able to stay up for all of Saturday Night Live this weekend.
