Occasionally, I have vestibular migraines and although I haven’t had one for a while – yesterday was the day. (Does anyone here have them?) They’re crippling! To be diagnosed, you must have a history of “regular” migraines in the past – I do. It starts with severe vision disturbances, the room taking different shapes and feeling as if it’s moving. Then the headache hits. The past few times, it has also made my lips and tongue numb and tingling! Yesterday, when I knew it was happening, I yelled for Doug who was working on our lower deck Our five month old cocker spaniel, sensed something was wrong and went to the door looking for him! My medication I take for it was upstairs and there was no way I could get up there at that moment. Fearing it was a stroke, Doug threatened to take me to the E.R. He asked me to smile and I managed an even one. Thankfully, it was not a stroke and I just spent the rest of the day resting in bed.
Anyway, the migraine blew the afternoon and the rest of the day yesterday. Today has been a “dizzy hangover” from it. I slept 3 hours yesterday afternoon and when I felt a little better, I lay in the bed and watched Girl Meets Farm on the Food Network. Doug kept me company for a while and we decided it would be great to try some of Molly’s delicious looking recipes. I ordered her cookbook late yesterday and it just arrived. It must have been in the Amazon warehouse here! Anyway, I’m looking forward to feeling better and digging into some of these delicious recipes!
I also loved hearing the story about how she and her husband met at Julliard. They are each classically trained musicians. They now live on his family farm on the border of South Dakota and Minnesota.
