Migraine

So today is a day off. The first one in over a week. I went out with my friend David last night to my annual Triathlon club holiday party and got myself completely toasted. I came home with a migraine headache which only got worse as the morning wore on. I started to beg my wife to take me to the emergency room. I thought I was going to die. Fortunately, my brother is a doctor and he was able to phone in a prescription of Imitrex and some sort of suppository to help control my nausea. I was in total agony, hallucinating and throwing up mouths full of stomach acid. I couldn’t even keep down water.

I’ve now been up for over 24 hours. I don’t know what is keeping me awake. At least I am starting to feel hungry again. I should try to eat soon.

I'm so sorry I wasn't there to help you. I would have started an IV and given you a few liters of fluid and you have felt a whole lot better. No one likes the pukes and the poops. Be patient, it'll take you a few days to recover. In the mean time drink up.
