Botox has been a game changer for my migraines for years. That is not in dispute. It takes away a remarkable amount of pain. However, I am coming to appreciate how much more there is to migraine than head pain. There are components of nausea, fatigue, and unusual nerve sensations, among other things. Those three have been getting me the last two days. My head is fine, as long as I don't lean it back against my chair where it makes my scalp feel pinched. But I am groggy and sleepy and nearly all of my nerves feel tingly. For the second day in a row, I slept away the afternoon. What a relief that I had the flexibility to do that twice in a week. If I am lucky, the extra rest will resolve the issue and I can be up and at 'em when the kids come on Friday.
I'm pretty sure while I was sleeping today, my doorbell rang twice. The first time could have been a dream. I did go back to sleep almost immediately, so I have no idea if there was actually anyone there. I wasn't going to get up to check. The second time I was slightly more awake, so I am almost certain it was real. I still didn't answer it. A friend would have texted first, before showing up, and if a solicitor ignored the sign on the door, that's on them. Now I am stuck wondering who the heck came by...twice?
After the second ringing, I was a bit more awake. I showered and dressed for game night, and felt significantly better than I had most of the day. Games were at my foster daughter's place again, and we finished the massive game of Wingspan we started last week. I wasn't even close to winning, but I have finally started getting the hang of strategy for it. After that we brought out our classic from college days, Cosmic Wimpout. We had so much fun sharing it with the younger generation that it seems like this one may be in regular rotation from here on out. We used to have a large homemade board for it. A new one is under discussion, to be made of much nicer materials than the posterboard from the 1980s.
