So, I hate talking to people about my migraines. As in, I even don't really enjoy talking to my friends about them. There are a myriad of reasons why. I mean, I love my friends and it has nothing to do with that, but it's just weird. I know. Strangers are even worse than friends because they view me differently once they know. Either that or they try to give me helpful advice on how to handle them. Yes, I've tried Excedrin. Yep, acupuncture, acupuncture by fire (random), chiro, yoga, stretches designed specifically for migraines, every drug ever created, etc. And no, there's nothing you can do. In fact, you asking about it just annoys me. Because then I have to TALK about it (I've even been told that it may be a result of depression so I needed a shrink--riiiight) and we all know (now at least, please see the first sentence to this post)--I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT! ha. Well, and then now I just realized that people that I've lived with that know that I'm not a whiner and that I still live an active lifestyle and that I'm not depressed, I don't mind giving updates, as long as they're quick and to the people that know and love me. AND since those are the only people that check this (though they may not still be reading after that tirade)--here's the latest:
I had surgery early. The day before Thanksgiving. Because recovery is nasty and they say at LEAST two weeks off work and I didn't want to mess up Christmas with my WHOLE FAMILY (woot!). I'm still swollen and my head is stapled all along my forehead and I have a sweet scar on my neck (which doesn't make sleeping nice) BUT I haven't had a migraine since surgery. I don't know if it's because I haven't been off the percoset long enough to really find out, but I'm pretty optimistic.
I'm even ready to go back to Provo and work. So I know it must be drugs speaking there...

I was just about to send you a comment and say good luck with the Surgery, but apparently I was too late. I'm glad it went well and hopefully it will fix them for ya. They suck! We hate migraines!
PS. If someone thinks you need to go to a shrink, they probably haven't met you.
If you're depressed, then I definitely need some Prozac. :)
Glad the surgery went well and that you're (semi) back to normal and migraine-free.
PS. Take lots of pics of Christmas with the fam. I'd like a full report!
Congratulations! I hope you'll remain migraineless.
And for the record, I didn't even know you suffered from migraines.
I Adore that you wrote this! HAH! Glad that you are doing better, and I am so happy that you are going to have more time to play with me without the migraines ;)
