Migraine can just GO AWAY!

3/4/2020

Migraines suck.
Just saying.
I used to have at least one major migraine each month, with another 2 or 3 thrown in for good measure.
Since my cancer surgery, I haven't had near as many headaches, let alone the migraines.
Until February 2020.
The last week of February and the first week of March - O.M.W.
This migraine has been making up for lost time! 
It started around the 27th of February, a growing pain in the temples and above my eyes. One that slowly spread over the top of my head and encircled my head like a vice grip. 
By Friday the 28th, it was a full blown migraine. For over 24 hrs it was registering about a 15 on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the worst! Difficult to even open my eyes. Smells, even normally good ones, set my stomach to rolling. Finally, Sunday, March 1, brought with it a bit quieter pain level. After 2 nights of being more up and awake due to the pain, I took a nap - oh how good that felt! 
Today is March 4, and still the headache lingers. Yesterday it was registering between 5-8, more at the 8 than not. Thankfully today it has been between 3-5. 
I took this picture on my Momma's birthday & Texas Independence Day - March 2. This was after 60 hours of the migraine ... Not the best pic ever, but not the worst one either. I had felt a little better for about 3 hrs, so I walked a little on the treadmill - that was nice. It was a wonderful weather day!

    Momma, you're not fat. You're fluffy!

    These were the words of my precious little girl one day many years ago. The innocence of a child. The words both stung my eyes, and warmed my heart. 
    I have struggled with my weight since I was 8 years old. Trying one diet after another. Some with momentary success, others with no success at all. At 59 years old? I'm done. No more. Enough of the ups & downs. 
    I would say this is my LAST attempt at weight loss - and perhaps that is the way to say it. But I want it to be more than "attempt". I want this to WORK.
    With Grit, Determination, Stubbornness, Sassiness, and the Boldness that comes from being a Girl of the South. All seasoned with Love, with Laughter, and with Grace. For ME.
    **If you go back thru these posts to the beginning, you will get a clearer picture of my personal struggles. Hopefully from this point forward it will not sound like a classic re-run ;) **
