I survived today.\u00a0 And it had nothing to do with my grief over dad, but everything to do with the dreaded Dot.<\/p>\n
Literally, my back hurt so bad\u2026\u00a0 I felt like I was in labor.\u00a0 By 7pm\u2026\u00a0 I would have begged for an epidural if I could have.\u00a0 Midol did nothing to take the edge off, and Aleve is becoming less effective every month.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m headed to bed.\u00a0 This migraine is kicking my ass.\u00a0 Did I mention I had a migraine all day?\u00a0 And sensitivity to noise?\u00a0 with three kids under age 7?\u00a0 Well I did, and still do.\u00a0 And it seems sleep is the only way I will get rid of it.\u00a0 It\u2019s making it hard for me to think\u2026. It\u2019s been like this all day.\u00a0 At least now it\u2019s quiet enough that the pounding has slowed to a bearable thud.\u00a0 All day, any noise above a whisper was as if someone was tightening a vise on my temples and my brain was throbbing\u2026.<\/p>\n
