Yow! and Whee!

At 2:30 this morning, I woke up with a double whammy: pain in my shoulder and a full-blown migraine headache.

I haven't had a migraine in months, actually, and this surprises me. I tend to get them after a period of stress has ended, and by all rights, I should have had more than one after the surgery. But . . . nothing.  I haven't missed them.

So it was a bit of a surprise when little dwarfs started pounding the inside of my head while little demons started gnawing on my shoulder.

I took pain meds for my shoulder and a double dose of migraine meds for the headache, then sat up and waited. (There was no point in trying to sleep, not with double pain.) I waited . . . and waited . . . and waited. The meds weren't kicking in. The headache dug in like a cat sinking its claws into your lap. No sign of it letting up.  About an hour later, the pain in my shoulder eased, and I decided to try sleeping. I managed a fitful doze. When my alarm went off, the pain was gone, but I was seriously high from the meds. 

It's now near the end of first hour, and I'm still floaty. And sleepy. Gonna be a long day.
