Seems as if the antiinflammatory (simple Advil) was what it needed. Kudos to the doc, who alas, has now left the clinic for another place, wherever that is. But I’m starting to feel secure on stairs again, as in, normal. That’s a good thing.
I hate it when I lose time due to something like this. I had such a good start on this next book, and I was forced to go to a process I don’t regularly use and start a detailed outline, so I wouldn’t drop stitches…you can’t live on painkillers without getting apt to drop stitches.
I am glad to find, though I was a wee bit zooey, I wasn’t ‘off.’ The outline reads clean, and I’m going to go on by that process since I’ve started it, which is one reason (outside of the fact that, due to painkillers, I didn’t even think of it) there’s no new graph. The outline now masses a few thousand words…haven’t even counted. But it’s making sense.
We were doing our statewide Simulated Emergency Test yesterday here in West Central Ohio, and it was sleeting……last year, the first snowfall was October 22, so I suppose this counts as the first snowfall of the current cold seasons. They say that the date that the first snow falls is the number of snow days you’ll have that particular winter. Well, if it’s anything like the winter of 2011-2012, it’ll be accurate for this winter. I don’t know how many snow days we had last winter, just that it was cold….
Glad the Advil is helping. Being zoned out isn’t fun at all after the first few hours, you can’t get anything done and all you want to do is sleep.
Sometimes the simplest things do wonders. Glad the Advil is helping; anti-inflammitories, as it turns out, are the only things that kill stress headaches, at least for us, and as we get those often, we always have something to hand. We tried everything, including those tablets that claim to be specifically for stress headaches; nothing even came close to doing the job until *finally* a new doctor told us to try anti-inflammatories and to take four of them at the start instead of the recommended two. Relief at last.
It’s warmer here today; there are several insects flitting about outside, most of them wanting in. It’s sunny, too, or at least partly, which helps chase the ‘cold day blues’ away.
