Yesterday I..
- Felt a headache coming on around 4 p.m. and countered it with two Exced.rin migraine pills
- Left work early because I began to feel worse
- Got a few blocks away and became remarkably, wretchedly ill
- Pulled over and waited for it to pass for a while before realizing it was only getting worse
- Miraculously got home without killing anyone despite the fact that my entire world was spinning like it did when I was 14 and drank half a bottle of vodka
- Cried because I've never missed a vocal rehearsal before
- Called Pierre and begged him to run my kids through their songs
- Laid in bed for hours with the curtains drawn, eyes closed, marveling that everything was STILL spinning
- Played the "maybe I'll feel better if I puke" game
- Debated whether or not I was dying
- Wondered 8,251 times how rehearsal went/was going
- Remembered the paper that came with the newly prescribed medicine specifically stated that I was not to have aspirin or any NSAIDs, including ibuprofen and acetaminophen
- Wondered what the freaking fark is wrong with my memory
- Continued to be agonizingly sick into the night and next morning..still feel awful
- Realized that being sick for the last however many weeks/months was lovely compared to how bad it's possible to feel if I screw up the med that is supposed to make me feel better
