So what if I love animated movies? I might be closer to 40 than to 30, but I love to watch those shows, and having kids makes it easier to enjoy them.
Well, the point with the quote containing "Ow!..." is that my head has been hurting the past few days.
Just about completely right above the eyes in the forehead... basically in the sinuses, where I was told by my family doctor... "... there's no such thing as a Sinus headache, they're all migraines..."
So, WTF does that mean to me?
It means, that there's very little they can or will do these days.
Yesterday (Sunday), I didn't go to church because I hurt so bad, and spent a great deal of the day with an ice pack on my head.
I think the temperatures outside reach into the 90's and so, I wound up with a heat pad around my head last night, sipping hot chocolate, because the heat felt good to my head & sinuses.
I should've taken a shower/bath yesterday, but wound up not doing it, even though, a nice hot bath often helps with my headaches.
Last night, after finishing a movie (I forgot which one it was), I got ready for bed, took a two Benadryl, put some of that vaporizer/Vicks stuff into the humidifier of my CPAP machine, and laid down.
Awhile later, I was asleep and only woke up to use the bathroom. While standing there, I thought.. Hey! It might be gone, only to have it start to hit me again, just before I laid back down again.
I did finally manage to fall back to sleep. I don't currently have much of a headache, although, I wouldn't be surprised if I got hit with another one today.
I suppose, the only thing I didn't do yesterday was to use my Oxygen (O2)... If Ellie were home, she'd have suggested that I use it.
I don't know if I use it enough when I get headaches, as much as I'd prefer to use pain pills.
The pain pills used to work really well, but now... I need more and more to get the darn headaches to go away.
I don't think that I'm addicted to the pills... at least not emotionally, but my body is very used to them.
The pain wasn't going away, and based on some similar headaches that week, I took two of my pain pills instead of the one that I was allotted to take a day.
My headache didn't get better, but my mood improved, and I was doing a bit more, instead of just pacing around the house with my ice pack strapped to my head and swearing.
Well, today, I'm doing OK, but I can feel that another headache might appear again.
My nose is runny today and I still have that nasty post nasal drip going on.
Too bad that I live in one of the states that REAL Pseudoephedrine requires a prescription to get. Instead of walking into a store and picking it up off the shelf and buying it.
I got tired of calling to get prescriptions for it, so I gave up trying to get it to use it. Although, right now, it might really help me during the day, and help me get through these headaches better, by drying up my sinuses.
To make matters worse for me today, my little office upstairs where I work, is already very warm, and the AC unit & fan together make me really cold, so I shut them off... only to start sweating again after 20+ minutes.
I just feel like I've entered some form/level of hell right now.
Dang it... I wish Ellie were here. She really soothes my nerves.
I love her very, very much.
