Headaches

I have never been prone to headaches.

Really.

Life can be a headache.  My swim goggles give me a headache.  Every day.  Every swim.  Contact lenses? Yeah.  Headache.  All known, preventable, external headaches.  They are temporary.  They disappear with time.

Okay. The occasional tension headache.

But now.  Migraines that last for hours. Or days.  Complete with hallucinogenic lights, roaring in my ears.  The kind that make me bury my head under the covers, whining like a babe.  

Oh. And the neck pain.  Yeah. There's that.  My doc believes it is due to several TBIs I managed to suffer last winter.

And yeah.  The accident.  Hitting a hapless doe at 70mph on I-94.  

Well.  I am still here.  Sadly, the doe is not.

But the headaches?  

Just a blip in my radar.  The journey is just beginning.
