Disability Benefits: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) - YouTube
John Oliver discusses why disability benefits can be hard to get and easy to lose, how getting them can turn people’s lives upside down, and why John fucking hates mimes. Ya, you heard us. John Oliver fucking hates mimes. Spread the word.
Yesterday, I attended a makeup class with a few friends. I was very much looking forward to the event.

Today, I had an apparent #migraine without #aura. That's unusual for me. 90+% of my migraines announce themselves. Since this one didn't, I had no opportunity to circumvent it ahead of the pain. I still took a #sumitriptan as soon as I realized what was happening. And it worked. But ... I got one of the fun side effects. As in, extreme somnolence. I fought to stay awake for maybe 30 mins. Tried to lie down and read for a bit.
That attempt failed miserably. Next thing I knew, my bladder was waking me up, urgently. ~2 hours had passed since I was last aware of anything. I'm still feeling hung over, but the pain was gone when I awoke. It's been about 2 hours since I woke up.
Migraines are so much fun. Ugh.
Yesterday, I received a call from the cardiology clinic. Anesthesiology had contacted them to obtain a clearance for that upcoming, not yet scheduled, surgery.

Today has been rough already, and it’s early afternoon. I didn’t sleep well.

Falling on the stairs
"A certain klutz (not naming names) fell on the stairs last night trying to carry the recycling down to the garage, and out to the outside bin."

So a certain klutz just fell on the stairs. From the way it feels, I'll have multiple bruises by morning, but okay otherwise. Ugh. I've just taken a couple of Extra Strength Tylenol. I can feel my back starting to tense too. Both feet, and right elbow, got banged pretty good.
I'm almost certainly in for a fibro flare too.
'The past couple of days, I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather. Last evening, that changed from “a bit” to “a lot.”'

"This past Wednesday morning, I experienced another period of continuing palpitations. My cardiac team got back to me this morning, and let me know that what was happening was premature atrial contractions."
