I've had a headache since some time yesterday afternoon. When Cordelia got home, I had her fetch me the Tylenol. That didn't help. Later, I had Scott get me an Amerge; the headache felt like it could be a migraine because it was all on one side of my head. Unfortunately, that didn't help either, so I had the headache all night with the expected difficulty in sleeping. I did notice, though, that, when I lay on my side opposite where my head hurt, the pain eased a little. Given that, I tried a sudafed first thing on getting up. I really hope that helps. I don't want to take anaprox because I'm taking aspirin already (one a day to help prevent blood clots due to immobility). The only thing I've got left to try if the sudafed doesn't help is alcohol, and I would really rather not, especially since I don't think this is a tension headache.

Scott made it home by 4:00 yesterday. He wasn't ready to go to the school at 4:50 when Cordelia wanted to leave, so I sent her off on her own. I just made her take her phone with her. She didn't want to because she hasn't got pockets in most of her clothes and hasn't started carrying a purse yet. Scott left for the school before 5:15. They came home a bit after 7:00, and Cordelia pulled up her group's PSA online to show it to me. I got the impression that they had fun making it, and they even shook their camera to try to simulate an earthquake.

In spite of the headache, I got some writing done yesterday. I've reached the point where sex is happening (and maybe shouldn't). I'm inclined to summarize it rather than detail it because I don't feel that detailing it will add anything to the story. I might be wrong, but that's the way I'm leaning. There is explicit sex in another chapter, so it's not that I don't want the story to go there if it needs to. I just don't think it does. Then I have to decide if that ends the chapter or if the other stuff I was originally intending to put in still fits there.

I still haven't completed my FATE character. At this point, I don't think it's going to happen before the game session. Maybe I can do it in between when Scott gets home and when the game starts. Of course, if this headache doesn't go away, I will probably just crawl into bed rather than playing.

My foot has been hurting more. I suspect I'm walking on it too much. Unfortunately, I can't figure out a way around that. I am getting better at using the walker. I'm hopeful that I'll do okay with that going to the mammogram appointment tomorrow.

The clinic called yesterday to confirm my appointment. I mentioned my foot, but the person I was talking to didn't think there was any way around standing on both feet for the mammogram. I guess I'll just have to be a bit obnoxious about it when I get there. They must have some sort of way to do one for people who can't stand up.

Scott's sister says she's pretty much over her stomach bug. She's back at work (she works part time for the United Way) today. That's something of a relief. I could take a cab, but it would be awkward, and the timing would be a lot less under my control. Now I just have to decide whether or not I'm up to going out to lunch with her before the appointment. It would be really nice to get out of the house, but it would also be challenging to manage it.

Best wishes at the mammogram. I hope it all goes well.
