Today I am coming out of a migraine-induced fog.
Saturday I was unbelievably tired. So tired I was silly. I still managed to get in one thrift store, but I just could not seem to wake up.
In the evening I went to my dad's to visit and to organize his medications for the week. This is a job that requires my FULL attention.
It almost seemed like I was starting to wake up. We stood for awhile watching the interesting ducks out on the lake.
He told me about his great visit with my mom on Friday and his not so great visit with her in the afternoon (they were at a 'concert' scheduled for a half hour but it went on (and on) for an hour and a half). My comment was that I would have responded the same way my mom did.
Anyway...
I gathered up all of the medications.
As I was sorting through bottle after bottle, I looked up to say something to my dad and it looked as if he had been split in two. I tried to focus, but my left I would not cooperate.
When I looked back down, there it was, a hideously weird optical migraine.
I hate them.
They make me nauseous. They make me dizzy. I can't focus. I can't see.
My dad drove me home. THGGM rode back with him to bring the car home.
The actual visual disturbances do not usually last more than 30-40 minutes, but then the other fun symptoms kick in.
I slept all day Sunday.
I'm sick of this. I do try to find a silver lining, but really. If I get to lay around on the couch all day, I'd truly like to be alert enough to ENJOY it.

Hi Judy,
I am a regular reader of your blog. From a grandmother to a grandmother, I enjoy reading about and seeing pictures of your grandchildren. The grandmother thing and migraines we have in common. I do not have the optical migraines, although with migraines, one cannot focus well right? I take Imitrex and it usually helps. Do you take anything at all? I do pray you are feeling back to normal.
