May. 12th, 2019 02:55 pmPart of yesterday was very nice; the rest of it was swallowed by a headache I couldn't get rid of.
We met with Scott's parents and with his sister and her husband for lunch yesterday at Palm Palace. I got a dish of chicken and mushrooms and rice that was pretty good.
After lunch, we went to the botanical gardens. I walked around a bit, playing Ingress, while Scott and his parents looked at the plant sale. I'm not sure if they bought anything; Scott mentioned thinking that the plants were overpriced.
I enjoyed walking around, but right around the time that I met back up with the rest of the family, I really wanted a bathroom. Sadly, the only one I could find was being cleaned, and I ended up having to wait for about fifteen minutes to get access. Then I fumbled trying to hang my water bottle on the hook of the stall door. I thought it had broken.
That's when the headache started. I took a few different medications that would normally help. A hot shower helped for about fifteen minutes, and the heating pad helps only while it's on. My PT stretches fo my neck and shoulder also help very briefly. Sleep helped, but it came back this morning.
It's been getting steadily worse since I got up. We haven't done much today because of it. I'm frustrated about the whole thing because it came on so abruptly and simply won't go away for very long. It's reacting like muscle tension but not responding to anything I try for that.
I don't often get this sort of persistent headache (I've been headachy something like five days out of the last seven), and this one has several potential culprits, including the possibility that two or more of those are both happening at once. It might just be stress/anxiety. It might be menstrual. It might be that one (or more) of my new PT exercises is causing problems (I'm backing off on all of them, just in case). It might be some level of seasonal allergies upsetting my sinuses.
Scott and Cordelia just got back from going out to get me bubble tea. I suspect we'll have waffles for dinner or some such because my dinner options are kind of boring. My current other plan is to finish two library books so that we can return them today. They're both graphic novels, so finishing them in the next two and a half hours shouldn't be a challenge.
