Yesterday - my day of total inactivity was actually due to a huge headache that I was trying to distract myself from. Sitting in front of the computer at least was not making it throb any more than regular - so y'all had to suffer through some pretty horrific scrapbooking. I am really hoping practice makes perfect! I would pull some of the more horrifying ones off, but that darn rule of 'no deleting' I have imposed on myself. I blame my poor judgement on my throbbing head.
The night got no better:
10:00 - went to bed, tried to relax and forget the headache.
1:00 - fell asleep
2:00 - woke up to actual fireworks in my head. Explosions of light behind my left eye and blind in that eye. Staggered out of bed, thew up (NEVER good on a throbbing head) and got my migraine medicine down.
2:00 - 4:00 practiced my relaxation exercises and tried to not want to die.
4:00 - decided that dying was the better option - was going to wake Gary up and tell him to shoot me in the head, but he was sleeping off his jet lag so peacefully ...
4:00 - 6:00 still trying to relax, but loosing it, decided if I couldn't get it under control, Gary was taking me to the emergency room ... or shooting me dead .... his choice.
6:00 - double dosed on migraine medicine, Excedrin and a sleeping pill.
6:30 - drifted off to sleep
8:00 - woke up (exhausted) to just yesterdays '7' throbbing (on a scale of 1 - 10 - I never drop below a 3 - my migraine was about a '15') and was so happy I started to cry - which upped it to an '8' - so I quickly stopped.
8:00 - 9:00 just laid as still as I could and got it down to a '5' and was elated to be relatively pain free - it felt WONDERFUL!
9:00 - got up and bathed to get ready for church - Ryan said he would go to Sacrament meeting with us and I was not missing that for the world!
9:30 - back to bed with a throbbing headache, relaxation exercises
10:00 - up trying to put on makeup
10:30 - threw up, back to bed, gave up on church
Bummer....
Now Jessie is here - not the quietest soul in the world, so while they watch a movie in the bedroom at a volume that my head could not tolerate, I am at my computer, yet again - distracting myself.
Y'all will bear the brunt ... Stavkirke's to follow.

Missed you at church...so sorry your head is putting on an unsolicited fireworks show.
I'm sorry you've been feeling so horrible.
What a graphic explanation of a migraine. I've only had one once - and nothing like that! Glad to know you are doing better.
