Migraine

Woo Hoo! I am able to post in here again!! Its about time, huh? This really is very small but I just have to share. I have now had 2 migraine free day! Yes 2, that sounds petty but for my recent track record that is wonderful! But it gets better still

In my 2 migraine free days thus far, I have been able to get a little taste of the life I was forced to give up. I woke up and went to work, but it was more than just get there, last til 3 and go home and crash. I have been able to run and play and jsut have fun with the kids again. You all know how kids are at 3 and 4, they had me on my toes to say the least. Races, monkey bars, flying around like airplanes, mountain climbing just to name a few things, and I was able to do it all with them, with out that severe sickening pain to stop me.

Better yet, I came home and my niece was here. That girl is my world, and I have been crushed to watch her grow up with out me. So many times she has wanted me to play or even just hold her and I have not been able to. We played for hours, and she couldn't have been happier just being in my arms and playing with Aunt "Warwa". I walked her to the park to swing for her very first park experience. We had a blast and it just warmed my heart to hear her laugh as she did. I had missed that terribly.

I have gone only 2 days now and still have a high level baseline headache. so I have to face the reality of this also. I will be in pain again, I am not "cured" after 2 days. Over the years that my pain had gotten so severe, I could see my life going on with out me, watch is slip from right under my feet. I had even lost hope for having my life or even seeing the little things that matter so much. But now, not only can I see that hope, I can grasp it agian. Yea, I will be in pain, I will ahve those attacks that knock me off my feet. But you know what, bring it on. I am starting to see MY life again, and I know that I will get there. I will get through those bad times and find this happiness again. I am finding patience and endurance and know that it will pass. I will get this life back for myself, even if in time.

Wooo Hooo !!!!

Alaura - I'm so glad for you!!! There is NOTHING petty about two days of being migraine free!!! Two days free from the shackles!!! I am so happy for you!!!

Don't you love seeing HOPE?!!!! You just made my whole evening!!! The last few days have been difficult and your shared hope made all the difference in the world to me!!!
