Since the rest of the Northeast is talking about Nemo (when did we start naming snow storms by the way?) I figured I would give the topic a rest and talk about something else.
First, I must apologize for ever thinking that a migraine was just a long-term headache or a headache where you just needed to be in a dark room for a little while.
A migraine can be that and so much more. I had my first ever migraine just recently and in fact, I still haven’t totally shed the damn thing.
I learned some things while enduring the hell that is a migraine. I learned that your tolerance for yapping little dogs decreases. I learned that the volume and pain from an MRI increases! I also learned that ER’s can be pretty entertaining if you are placed in the hallway by the room where they put the crazy people.
The most important lesson I learned is that if you are given the choice to laugh about your situation or cry, choose to laugh. Life is too short to sweat the small stuff. If I am going to go tomorrow, I want to go laughing. I don’t want the nurses glad I am gone. My hospital roommate and I (technically my second roommate, I had the first evicted) had a great time because we had the same outlook.
