Oy, on call last night, the 24 hour shift.  Best intentions, I did intend to do a 5 mile run this morning with the pupster, but boy I was beat.  We had an out call and by the time I got back and wrote up the paperwork, it was midnight, and this chica just cannot survive on 5.5 hours of sleep :D

Wow, running with other people makes you keep.  but ai yai yai i was sucking wind by the end.  I was assured these two chicks ran "12 minute miles"  Yeah right.  I would say taking over a minute off your pace after only 6 weeks is quite a feat.  I prolly won't do that in future "long runs" but since I was out of commission all week I didn't feel so guilty about it.  Caveat: I did get a teeny-weeny headache :(

So I went to this amazing clinic today for my headaches.  It was an ALL DAY affair.  I was rather intimidated by the schedule ahead of time, but at the end of the day, I was feeling very optimistic about my pain management of my headaches.  I actually for the first time in a couple of weeks slept awesome. Only another migraine sufferer could possibly understand, I mean "headache" is such an innocuous thing, like back pain.  I mean how do you quantify it.  it's not like a broken arm.  So onward I go, hopeful I can grab hold of this demon.

Feeling pretty demoralized lately.  Tuesday night I got a migraine and this morning at 5:30 a.m., almost 36 hours later I couldn't take it and succumbed to the medication.  Although now I wait fearfully for the dreaded "rebound" headache, which put me off taking any prescribed pain meds at all.  So alas, 2 days of my life gone.  And today is pretty much a wash, as I still feel like I've been hit by a truck.  I was in bed all day yesterday with ice blocks on my head.  And of course I'm still in the throes of the PLAGUE.  Week 6 nearly under my belt.  Mike wants me to move out of the house he can't take hearing me hack up a lung anymore.  And now it seems I have developed a strange case of heartburn when I eat certain foods.  So let's just say I"m less than enthusiastic about anything at all other than crawling into a cave for the foreseeable future.  Blech.  I'm feeling really old right now.
