Naming my blog right
Today I discovered I named my blog and page correctly. I am the mom of two monsters. As they were constantly fighting and screaming today while I suffered what was the beginning to a beautiful (read horrid) migraine. If you suffer from migraines, you know how it is, light, sound, smells, thoughts, breathing and sometimes living is difficult. I usually know when a migraine is coming. I feel it and I can see it. Call me crazy, but I see the fuzzy blurry outlines of things and know it's coming like an unwanted visit from a relative. (Not that I don't love relatives, but you know you have days when everyone is unwanted) Today I knew I was hitting epic migraine status and my children could sense it also. They knew that every little scream, cry, complaint, whine, and sound would make Mama want to curl up in a ball and not leave the confines of her completely dark and cool bedroom. (black out curtains were invented by a migraine sufferer I'm convinced.) I think once Frog saw the tears forming, he knew Mama was serious about her head. So what does he do? Take me by the hand and leads me to my bedroom and says "Mama, lay down and I'll be right back." He comes back to me with a cool wet wash cloth and lays it across my head and kisses me on the cheek. He then takes Turtle to the living room and sits down to play Lego Batman 2. It's sad that my 6 year old has seen me suffer from these enough to know what to do. He keeps his little brother as quiet as possible while I lay in my bed feeling like my head will explode and/or I will possible vomit until I have nothing left of me. Luckily it calmed enough that I could function enough to shower and take them to my grandmother's for a few hours so I could come home and prepare to die. My migraines can knock me out of it anywhere from a few hours to days. I've been to doctors, neurologists, had MRI's and CT scans. I have nothing to take to fend them off or take when I get one. I quickly hit my $1500 deductible on my insurance trying to see what was causing them. I was told there was a spot on my brain, but it's nothing serious. Umm...How is a spot on my brain not serious? How is it some people can walk in to a doctors office and leave with any kind of medicine they want, but I can't get anything to help with my migraines that I've suffered with for almost 18 years? I'm going to try another doctor to see what can be done, I hope and pray this time, I can at least get something to take once one hits. I'm a stay at home mom, I can't be down with something for days. No 6 year old should know what to do when Mama says she has a migraine. No 6 year old should know what a migraine is or how it can effect someone. Thankfully, I have him to help out when their dad is working. I'm one super blessed Mom to two little monsters.
