The sudafed helped the headache a bit. The dratted thing is not gone yet, but it's eased. I've just taken Tylenol in hopes that that will take care of the rest of it. I'm also drinking a lot of water even though that means trips to the kitchen. I can use the walker for those as long as I drink my water in there and don't try to bring anything back to the living room.

I hope it keeps getting better. Headaches that won't leave are the worst. :(

Thanks. I think the Tylenol is helping, too. The headache still isn't gone, but it's mostly retreated.

I woke up with one yesterday and was still taking Aleve mid-evening. Not sure if it's the weather changes or what.

I hope your headache is gone now.

[kalloway]

Mostly, but I can feel it lurking which means it's most likely this annoying weather.

/wait five minutes, it'll change and still suck

Ah. You're in Michigan, too. I'm in Ann Arbor. It might very well be the same weather giving us trouble.

I just hope it's kind of warm tomorrow. I can't wear pants with this stupid boot on, so I'll be going outside in shorts. That could be unpleasant.

Yeah, I'm just up the freeway a bit~ ^_^

At this point, the forecast is basically 'Chance of Weather with a Variable Temperature. Good Luck with that.' *sighs*

Wish my headache would go away so easily. :-(

Check your email, please. I *think* I sent you something, but I'd like confirmation that I had your correct email.

[the_rck]

I got it. Thanks!

Walker Vs. Water: my suggestion is a small fabric shopping/tote bag, or maybe a backpack, and a water bottle with a good seal. (Or maybe even a plastic grocery bag.) The hazard: I try to keep my bottles containing liquids separate from books and e-readers, to the point that in normal life I use *two* tote bags. But anyway, you should be able to bring water into the living room to drink throughout the day.

Another option: have someone else in the family pre-stage your day's water bottle in the living room. Add some ice to keep it cold, maybe?

My walker actually has a small attached bag. I used it to hold my wallet and keys. I did manage a water bottle a couple of times, but it got kind of crowded.

The biggest problem getting things with the walker turned out to be our laundry. When it's clean, it ends up in baskets in the living room, waiting for us to put it away (we're each in charge of our own clothes in that respect). Scott almost never gets around to putting his away, and right now, I still can't put my clothes away because I can't carry the baskets. While using the walker, the baskets blocked the door, and I couldn't move them without putting weight where I shouldn't. I never figured out a way around that one.
