Apologies for the unannounced and unplanned hiatus here.
I had a totally uplanned migraine that lasted for over a week, resulting in lots of unplanned moaning in bed in a dark room. It lasted for over a week – and was still with me when I had to drive to Toronto to catch a flight to Winnipeg for the National Symposium on Death Making, which was put together by the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition. (more on the conference later)
A merciful palliative care physician at the conference helped me out with some alternative medication which successfully ended the ordeal. I will be talking to my own physician about having a back-up medication when my primary medication fails. –Stephen Drake
