My first migrane

I like being in control at all times. I drink, but only excessively
with the right people. We have a bottle of champagne that was
supposed to be used on New Years that is still to this day in the
icebox. We even have a bottle of Captain Morgan rum collecting dust
in the cupboards, that has been there since my last job. That's how
much of a drinker I am. Since then though, Mrs. Zombieslayer and I
have consumed about two bottles of beer each a week, but we just
don't drink like we used to.

Mrs. Zombieslayer, Grandma Zombieslayer, and Dave all get migranes.
They'd tell me about them, how they'd feel incapacitated, with a
deep, throbbing pain in the back of the eyeballs. Doesn't sound fun.
Up until yesterday, I couldn't relate.

We had a meeting at work yesterday in one of the offices. The light
seemed to be flashing on and off continually. I got really thirsty
and between the thirst, having to go to the bathroom, and the
strobe lights, after two hours, I started developing an overwhelming
pain unlike anything I've ever felt before.

I tore both knees once in a sloppy football tackle. It was my fault.
I was the one doing the tackling. That hurt like a mofo, but as bad
as that was, the migrane was worse.

For the last hour of work, I couldn't concentrate on anything. I
don't even think I was able to see clearly. Luckily, I walked to
work and came close to throwing up in the park, but held it in so as
not to desecrate my town's primary historical landmark.

I got home and immediately went to sleep. An hour later, I woke up
for dinner and could barely eat, consuming a top ramen, some
broccoli, and lots of water. I brushed my teeth and went to sleep.
If this ever happens again, I'm doing what my friend K does,
popping as many Excederin as needed. As anti-drug as I am (I would
not let them put me out when they pulled out all of my wisdom teeth.
Instead, I took one Vicadin, then threw the rest out because I hated
the feeling of not feeling anything. I'd rather have the pain), I'm
not going through another migrane.
