Pieces are Coming Together

[Torchbearer]

I am done!!! Done with school that is, or rather the semester. But either way this is a major accomplishment. I emailed my final paper to my professor last night at 8:00. I did a little dance for joy. Toasted to no more migraines - yuck! Then I promptly called my H. I was all giddy and happy and it was so obvious that all the stress was off. I told him we needed to meet somewhere and go out for a celebratory drink. He did me one better and stopped by and picked me up. He had already had dinner, but he bought me dinner, we had a couple of beers and he did a couple karaoke songs. I was silly all night. It was so much fun not having any stress. Now I just need to keep this momentum up a bit. I'm not even sure what I'm going to do with myself when I get home from work tonight - no homework!!!! I can do nothing and revel in it. Not sure if H is planning on coming by tonight, but it it's a continuation of last night he's more than welcome!!

I felt he deserved to see a really happy, bubbly me after Wednesday night. I suffered from my 3rd migraine in less than two weeks and only one day after the second one. I came home from class Tuesday night with a raging migraine. After laying on the couch in the dark for a couple hours it finally subsided. I stayed home from work Wednesday to recover and to work on my final paper. I was having a really good day and the writing was flowing. I was on a roll and finally stopped at about 3:00 to have some lunch. After I ate I sat back down at my desk and all went loopy. I started getting the floaters and bursts, all the precursors to another migraine. My vision was fuzzy. And, worst of all I temporarily lost my language abilities. I couldn't pronounce words or even fully recognize them. I freaked out and emailed my H. I could barely see. He called me from work really concerned. By then the speech was back and he ordered me to quit the homework and go lay down and to call him if I needed anything or if anything else strange happened. I laid on the couch feeling like the side of my head was going to erupt and tear itself away from the rest of my head. I think I would've been relieved. He got home a couple hours later and brought me to our local urgent care center. They gave me a shot and sent me home with some meds. We sat in the dark watching TV until about 10:30 and I was exhausted. I looked like he11, but was feeling better. I hadn't showered or brushed my teeth or anything, I had planned on finishing my homework first and then do all that stuff - never made it that far. Needless to say I felt he deserved to see me in a complete 180. I was in such a good mood yesterday evening!!!!
