i know i've said this before, but i don't think that means i can't say it again.

today i'm thankful for migraine relief. because when you're in bed, and it's two-thirty in the morning, and your entire existence is pain and nausea, and it hurts to see light, hear sound, think thoughts, and even pray prayers, yea, it hurts simply to exist, and throw on top of that nausea and vomiting, and you worry because you'll be on call soon and you'll be unable to work, and you wonder if you can get some relief from the emergency room, but you can't drive yourself to the e.r. because you can't see straight to drive what with the unbearable pain and all, and who would you call to drive you to the e.r.? a coworker? since those are the only people whose numbers you have?

and then when that pain is lifted, and suddenly your existence is free of physical pain, and you feel so much better...

you can't help but be thankful that the migraine is gone.

so thank GOD for ibuprofen and other forms of migraine relief.
