Fuuuuuuuuuck

What began as a throbbing headache over the weekend has escalated into breathtaking waves of pain, ringing ears, cloudy peripheral vision and constant cold sweats. The alarmist in me is obsessing over the fact that I’ve recently been struggling to find words when I talk so I probably should will my estate to the brain cancer society right now and start picking out caskets. But as I’m currently waiting for my doctor to find a place that can get me in for a CT scan this morning, I’m thankful for small favors from the universe like the fact that I didn’t end up in stirrups covered in smiley-face footies as he examined me.
