Headache

Ugh. I’ve had the worst headache since I woke up this morning. When I got up at 4am, I felt like my head was going to fall off. So after I made breakfast for Caleb and tidied up the kitchen, I went back to bed. Caleb was sweet and turned the alarm clock off, so I was able to sleep until 2pm. I felt fine when I woke up, so I emptied and reloaded the dishwasher, handwashed some dishes and wiped down the walls and counters in the kitchen. Now, though, an hour and a half later, my head is hurting a lot again. I hate taking pain killers, but Caleb is on the phone and is suggesting I take some of his Excedrine Migraine. I don’t have a migraine. My head and jaw just hurt a lot. A dork of a dentist injected lidocaine into my jaw joint a few years ago and ever since, my jaw will hurt randomly. It just happens to be in conjunction with a headache.

Well, I’ve decided what I’m going to do. Caleb will be home soon. He said he’ll give me a neck and shoulder massage when he gets home and then we’ll put the tens unit on my neck. If that doesn’t work, then I’ll take some excedrine. Sound good to me. I’m going to go lay down now.

    Thanks for your comment. I’m glad I look different than I did in high school. I’ve lost about 20 lbs since then, so I’m happy. And, yes, we got things figured out with our apartment complex. I’m just waiting to get it in writing. I hate renting, too. With moving every three years, though, buying a house everywhere we go just isn’t feasible. I’m just glad the Navy pays our rent. That helps the hassle be kinda worth it.
