Before the week is over...

If I accomplish nothing else this week, I WILL accomplish this one task. Get a prescription for migraine meds! I get migraines. Bad. The kind that make me wish I were dead. The intense pain is only made worse by the continual vomiting. Before I got pregnant with Kelly, I was able to throw a box of crackers on the floor, turn the tv to Nick Jr, and Kyle would be fine until Jehremy got home. But now? Now I have a 7 month old who doesn't yet have the dexterity to each crackers out of the box all afternoon. I got a migraine Sunday, but luckily Jehremy was home to hold down the fort. But when I woke up this morning, I knew it was gonna be a doozie. By 9am, I was throwing up. I wanted to cry, but knew it would only make my misery worse. I must admit, though, that my kids were AMAZING today. Kyle is fairly self-sufficient (he is a big 5-yr old now) and Kelly couldn't have been easier. The only time the poor baby was held was for me to give her 2 bottles. (one of which had to be stopped early for a sudden vomit-fest) Otherwise, she played nicely on the floor or saucer and napped like a champ. Jehremy was unable to get out of his appointments today. I thought a lot about my friend, Jen, and her crappy week recently. You gave me strength today, Jen! Thank you!
So back to my mission for the week. I had an Rx for migraines that worked wonders. But since it's not safe to take while pregnant or nursing, it's long since expired. I was with Kaiser at the time it was prescribed, but am no longer w/Kaiser. So...am I really going to have to go to a new Dr (I've only ever seen the ob/gyn on this new insurance policy) to say, "Hi. My name is Sheri and I get migraines." I'll do it, believe me...I'm desperate. But I'm hoping the process of getting my grubby little hands on those miracle pills doesn't lead to yet another headache. Stay tuned.
