Feeling a Little Off Today

The sudden onset of a moment of sadness. Fingers crossed that Orphan Annie and the meteorologist are correct about tomorrow.

I’m feeling a little off today.

Is it because of being up all night with a persistent migraine?

Medicine at 11:30 p.m., again at 1:00 a.m., vomiting at 3:00 a.m. (sorry for the TMI), and then driving in the rain to the emergency room at 4:00 a.m.

But it isn’t just about feeling foggy headed and tired. It’s deeper than that.

Back home from the ER, I’m thinking about the outrageous amount of money we are going to pay for the privilege of now being pain free.

The cost of medical care is out of control. I should feel healed, but instead I feel robbed. What are you going to do?

When you need help, you need help.

Not pleasant thoughts as I wait for the automated call from the pharmacy.

The latest trend for my migraines is onset while sleeping. This means I need to have injections on hand to take down the episodes that the pills can’t handle.

Expensive. But cheaper than a trip to the ER.
