Want to hear something funny? Okay, not funny
maybe from your point of view. I had a horrible migraine last night,
took a nap that lasted 6 hours and woke up with the headache still
bothering me. After an hour of messing around the house (and Internet), I
decided to try to sleep again but the migraine had worsened and my head
felt like exploding.
Needing a visit to the bathroom, I did what I have
done 1,000,000 times before when I had a
headache--I stumbled, with my eyes half-closed, toward my bathroom. This
time, I somehow missed the doorway, stumbled to the right too far and
HULKsmashed the right eyebrow area against the door frame. I swear I saw
lights. I finally managed to turn on the lights and lo and behold, the
area above my right eye had swollen up into a soft goose egg in a matter
off seconds. I looked like one of the Walking Dead. It hurt. Yet it
didn't. Because the migraine was gone! I could see!!!
I put an ice pack
over the bump and it's now gone down except over the right eyelid. But
this is how to cure a migraine! Smash your face on the door or wall,
folks!
Update: The swelling is gone but as I became vertical this morning, the area around my eye is getting more and more purple and black. Oh, the ribbing I'm going to get on the roof all day....

Hope you're feeling better!
I must admit I've never tried that method to get rid of a migraine.
Not a great way to SEE out 2012 and SEE in 2013. Hope you feel better soon. Plus thanks for your great story telling over the past years. Thanks again.....
