This
morning I was woken by a migraine. Not the cluster headaches that sometimes
waken me, but a “regular” migraine, on the right side.
I
got up, had some strong tea and two Advil, and fought off the nausea. I
considered whether I’d be able to manage getting up and out on time to sing in
the church choir; an early call this morning meant that I’d have to hurry.
Waves of pain and more nausea made the decision for me. I was able to send off
a text to the substitute choir director, then fell back to bed as the usual
migraine-induced sleepiness crept over me.
Then
the oddest thing happened.
