UGH

after an odd turn of events & being migraine-free for about a month for NO reason whatsoever(incredible nonetheless), out of nowhere i wake up on saturday with a sick feeling of one coming on. getting out of bed & going out to take my mind off things did nothing. what was worse was we had my best friend flying in that evening to throw my bridal shower. over the course of the day i downed 4 extra strength tylenol & about 4 codeine (which i stole from my fiance)...nothing took the edge off and i was dedicated to staying off imitrex. i went to bed after having about 3 baths, 2 induced massages of my neck & spine and a bunch of mint and teas...it really sucks having someone come over that you love & having to stay keeled over and mumbling to talk to them in the worst pain imaginable.

so i woke up the day of the shower and it was back. i have no idea how i slept through the night. i did the whole tylenol/codeine thing again & got a de-caf coffee from timothy's to try and trick my brain into recovery...after about a 3 hour nap with my fiance (we were both dead tired & stressed for medical reasons) i got the knock on my door to be taken to the shower. dad & fiance spent the day together while i was with the ladies...ended up having a great time but wished i didn't have to dodge all my usual favourite decadent foods. held my own though...which i was very proud of.

went to dinner with fiance, mom, dad & sister and had a bland and small enough meal to finish. it was comforting eating comfort food with my parents who i haven't seen in 10 months...got home & went to bed around 9 and woke up the next morning fine enough...

no idea where that came from...but it was mixed with the flu...horrible!
