I woke up in terrible pain today....my head, neck, face. Let's just say from the neck up!!
I tried working...I tried sleeping...I took a hot bath (twice) and one shower...nothing helped the pain. Around mid afternoon Dave came in the kitchen and I was at my wits end....I was seriously on the verge of going to the ER. The funny part to this story is not about the headache...but everything I did to get rid of it.
After I went to the doctor and came home (feeling somewhat better but not totally)....Dave came up to me and said "you scared me....you stood on one leg, you ate chocolate, you drank a sprite, you drank a cup of coffee...etc......all to get rid of a headache".
His point was....to him I was doing all sorts of weird things...to get rid of a headache. He thought I'd lost my marbles....a simple way to get rid of a headache is to take medicine. All I could say to him is...clearly you've never experienced a headache like mine!! To hear him say it would have made you laugh...he's much funnier than I am..... with that dry sense of humor (I wonder...do all Dave's have a dry sense of humor...you know like Dave Letterman?).
That reminds me another story....about his humor. One day we were driving past our neighbor ......as he was carting off some dirt. And Dave leaned out the window and said "it's about time you moved that dirt". And I instantly slugged him and said "you can't say that, he'll think you mean it". He replied back "no, he knows I'm joking". But did he?
I guess it's no secret I over think things...but still I wonder :) By the way he was joking...that dirt had only been there a day or two.
Gotta go .....I have a million emails to check and need to babysit myself to make sure I don't get the awful headache back!!

You are so right. I'm a headache sufferer too. Its so hard to explain to someone how bad they hurt or how debilitating they are. My loving hubby doesn't suffer from headaches at all.
