“Write your first draft with your heart. Re-write with your head.” From the movie Finding Forrester
I caught a break in the headaches….I had one really wonderful day, two trips to the ER and one day in bed feeling sorry for myself. Other than that, I had a great week! Did some knitting (and a LOT of frogging, since it was a pattern I was making up). Read Danielle Steele . Weeded. Watched ER and NYPD Blue on disc. Altogether a wonderful week, even with the construction delays. The weather was nice and we were able to make most of our trip with the windows down. My migraine doctor has a super new drug for me to try….if it works, no botox. If not? Shot in my head (leave my face alone! I earned it.)

Day 15 of my Migraine
Fifteen days straight. I have been poked so many times that I’m running out of places that are not bruised. (15 x 4= 60 plus the occasional… Read more “Day 15 of my Migraine”
Thank you for flying MIGRAINE airlines today
This all started yesterday afternoon. The inside of my head felt exactly like a sea sponge soaked in hot salt water. So I checked with my brother,… Read more “Thank you for flying MIGRAINE airlines today”
