Heartfelt Thanks
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who sent me "hope you're feeling better soon!" wishes in the last few days. That really meant a lot to me.
What happened was allergies (yuk) conspired against my sinuses, and an infection took hold (eustacian tubes swollen... the whole ten yards). Then, on top of it, a migraine snuck in on me. I didn't realize it was a migraine, because, well... sinus infections can hurt like the dickens. Finally, on Tuesday, I surrendered and took my migraine medicine, not because I figured it out, but because I was out of options. And... within 4 or 5 hours, I was feeling a whole lot better. Yesterday (Wednesday), I was still stuffy, but no pain. Today (so far) is the same.
*Sigh* Come to think of it, when I was finally diagnosed with migraines, it was after 8 or 9 days of me thinking that it was all just allergies and I needed to just get through it. Hmmm... maybe I should just take the dang medicine first and ask questions later.
Oh, well... live (and hurt) and learn. But, thanks again for your warm thoughts and (in some cases) prayers. Warm fuzzies always make me feel better.
