I am happy to report that it has been over a week without a full blown migraine! I still have a low-grade headache as my constant companion but I can take that. The bed in the closet goes unused for now. Thank you for all of your prayers and kind words–I feel very loved. This new medicine is finally kicking in, I guess. No open appointments at the neurologist for two months but I’ll keep bugging them to see if I can get in sooner. I’ll feel better being checked out.
Anyone who has lived with chronic pain I’m sure will attest to the relief when it is alleviated or ameliorated. I encourage you each to take a minute–and hopefully more–to stop and count your blessings, each functioning body part, everything that doesn’t hurt, the activities in your life you do without thought or notice, each and every loved one around you, every friend, every opportunity to give and serve, everyone who cheers you along your way, and may your list go on and on. This life is short, lets not take one single day for granted, “headaches” will come along the way in some form or another, but next time we feel some pain let it be a reminder to us for all of the reasons for rejoicing we have every single day.
