Went back to find out why Perkins needs a "sorry"...

OK. Migraines are not funny.

I was, indeed, attemptin rhetorical questions. Sarcasm on the internet, works not well.

Thanks guys!

ita, are you feeling better than you were this morning?

Oh, poor Perkins head! Ouch.

I would want to have spectographic analyses, and full disclosure of how many measurements were taken in Seattle in the winter.

It was an almost tropical blue today. Quite disconcerting, what with the cold and all. The surface of Lake Washington looked like it should be off a beach in Hawaii.

Of course, it was probably our standard-issue blue for most of the day, but it was still dark out when I got into work, and just before sunset when I got out, so I can only really speak to what it looked like at around 5pm.

I am happy to report that I've only taken three Imitrex (and no Maxalt) since my nerve block on Friday. It's almost like...being alive again.

However, if this is not supposed to mean that Perkins gets to shoulder more load.

We were asked when we wanted to start training for black belt. I'm all about next week, because I'm terrified of the block wearing off. Other less panicked, more rational, co-instructors seem to think that two or three months is a better idea.

Went to class today--today's migraine responded to medication. Was chosen as "newest brown belt" to warm the class up. Which just goes to show. Unless you're Darren Levine, you're always someone's warmup bitch, and warmup bitches don't get to take vacations.

Honestly, the muscle soreness hurt less then than it does now. Maybe the chiro and massage are wearing off. I knew I shouldn't have stopped moving, dammit.

Hey ita, I don't think I've had the chance to congratulate you yet, so congratulations.

Somewhere in NY, msbelle is shaking her head in her sleep.

Glad you are feeling more human over all though.

The reality is, I mightn't be able to train properly in two or three months. I can't get nerve blocks forever. This increased humanity may only last days more. Then, who knows?

very funny, Perkins

But ita, it makes me sad to hear you talk as if you'll never heal. I mean, I understand where the fear comes from, but it's a bummer.

It's something the biofeedback guy encourages, burrell. I see his point.

Also, if I'm honestly over the post-concussive syndrome (even if I'm not, training is only about my extra pain MSBELLE), then this might be it...either way, no one's working on a cure. Pain management is about temporary relief, biofeedback is about lesser but more long term stuff, and the neurologist is trying to find me the right medication. Even the right meds aren't a cure--at best they're juggling negative side effects.

No, I take that back. The acupuncturist is. I wish him luck. The PT was too, but I was never feeling any progress there, just a lot of extra pain. And, well, maybe no PT for a little while. Making my limbs or back hurt is one thing. If new PT involves causing headaches too--I don't know how to get started with that again.
