Got a Boo Boo ?

This morning when I came to work, I started thinking about my thought/blog for the day.But I was down with a 3rd degree migraine. My head has started clearing up and now I am all geared about lashing out at my headache with a vengeance. For those of you, who have these attacks, I do not have to describe- how your temples throb, how you become over-sensitive to light and sound, and how you have this urge to throttle anyone who comes anywhere close to you.
The only problem with this is ofcourse the way my family suffers with me. I really cannot pinpoint when the saga began...But I do remember that back in my college days, when I had one of my first major attacks with the accompanying blindness,nausea and shivers - my friends made sure I survived. I guess with the advent of age, responsibilities, duties etc the frequency of these attacks increased. Ofcourse I used to have good periods - when I would go for weeks without an advent of one, and then I would do the inevitable - I would start wondering - "Hey ! howcome I havent had a headache in a while ?"...and BAM - I would be blessed with one.
One thing that could happen when you have such a recurring health issue is that people get bugged when you tell them that you are having one of your attacks. Gradually their sympathy level keeps dwindling, and then it reaches a point when there is no reaction to your declarations !! (almost like crying wolf wolf...). But I have also had touching experiences, when my husband has made soup & chai for me (mind you.I should have marked that date for release in the family history books !). When my children have sat next to me stroking my head, oh so gently checking to see if my boo-boo is gone ? (that you feel for a instant - hey you have angels in your life, not the brats that you really thought !). & then there was an occasion when I was taken care of so completely, and so lovingly that I was overwhelmed and humbled. (I dont want to embarrass myself and my sis, by going into details - but suffice to say that the "in-law" wall between us started crumbling that day).
So here is my BIG BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to the worst ache of all !!!
