jadecatThis is going to be one of THOSE posts... one of the ones with whine in them.
First the excellent- Saturday was much fun, first at the "Kill It and Grill It" at DK and BE's home. Saw some people, had some good food, left on a good note.
Then! I was lucky enough to be able to arrange to have dinner with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
robinskij and her brother!! That was a lot of fun. I'm so very glad that I got to meet her in person. :) Just goes to show how awesome my taste in friends is! *grins*
Then came Sunday, with the migraine... ate up most of the day.
Yesterday- same, except I was at work. Well, it wasn't as bad and Zomig made it go away so I could function. After work was dinner with the hubby and we were supposed to go to a movie- but my head wasn't sure, so we skipped it. Instead we went to Lane Bryant (restaurant and movie theater in large mall place). I needed new jeans, badly. There was an overly helpful clerk. I ended up getting two sweaters (very flattering, though I didn't think they would be), slacks for work, and jeans! I really, really like their 'right fit' sizing concept. The jeans fit amazingly well, and the work pants! I'm in love. Then The helpful clerk helped me be sneaky- I applied for the LB credit card- with the 15% off for applying, and charged it to me card (double points!) and then made a payment with my debit card. *grins*
Today- bad, bad, bad head. Neurologist and I will be having a LONG talk next week. To summarize my points- over the last year I have gained about 40lbs, despite walking daily and being more careful about what I eat, and my blood pressure is routinely coming up high. To the point where the NP isn't sure about letting me have Zomig- the only thing that works! The preventatives aren't preventing anything! And the anti-depressant SSRI migraine preventative- is depressing me!! I don't get daily headaches anymore, but I do get more migraines- and they hurt more. Seems like all the medication trials are making things WORSE! so yeah, long talk. In the meantime I hurt and am most grumpy about this.

Date: 2008-09-09 04:00 pm (UTC)This is VERY true! Last time I was this bad, and at home, I had a Leo come and snuggle on the couch with me. For like a minute, but for Leo it was a big step! Then Sasha curled up with me until I had to get up. Purring is one of the best sounds ever.
*hugs* I hope you can get the body and mind to relax a bit to ease coping with the bad news.
