I'm feeling a bit sluggish this morning as I am recovering from a migraine that blindsided me yesterday. Matt and I decided to take Lucas to Sam's yesterday to buy some papertowels and storage containers. We had been cleaning out our closets and realized that we were in desperate need of extra storage. We also love to buy paper products in bulk, so going to Sam's was a no-brainer. Well, bad idea. About 5 minutes into our outing, I asked Matt if he too was seeing spots. After seeing the perplexed look on his face, I explained that the spots reminded me of the kind you see after someone takes a picture with a bright flash. Only there were no cameras around. We moved onto the next aisle comparing the prices of daipers, when my periphial vision went completely blurry. Oh boy.
We decided to hurry along, because while I was in no pain, I knew something was up. Naturally there were only two check-out lines available, and they were filled with every person in the store (not really, but it sure seemed like it), when I realized that I needed to sit down. The shopping cart was abandoned as we slowly walked out to the car. A part of me wanted to panic because all I could think of was, "I'm going blind!" Once I got home and lied down, the headache set in. I ate some dinner, but my right arm and the right side of my face were totally numb. This time I asked, "Am I having a stroke?" I tend to be a bit dramatic when sick.
My body seems to have restored itself back to normal this morning, all expect for a lingering headache. How do people who suffer from regular migraines survive? My compassion goes out to you who do.
It's a good thing my membership to Sam's expires this month, because I'm feeling a bit gunshy about going back there. Must be something about all those florescent lights.....
