Nov. 6th, 2007 10:00 pmI'm kinda proud of myself today.
I missed the Melbourne Cup entirely, because my vague ick of the last two days distilled into a truly ferocious migraine. All tablets did was dull it. I got out of bed round 4.30 pm and sorted myself out enough to get to class. I asked a friend for a lift to the bus interchange, since my legs weren't quite functional at that point. I explained the situation to my students and I taught for an hour and a half and we'll add a few minutes to each class to make up the time. Then I taught Medieval legal stuff till I was near the abyss and after that I came straight home and slept. The sleep was significant - earlier I had hurt too much to sleep.
I'm still on panadeine and stuff and crept out of bed to quickly check email and to take more meds. Tomorrow morning I teach again and by Thursday I expect to be back to normal, given the rate the migraine is fading (slowly, but it *is* fading).
I'm amazed I managed to teach (and apparently I was quite lucid, at that). Now please excuse me while I go sleep some more.
