headaches

(monday, april 16....830pm......in bed.....my apartment.....korcula, croatia)

i almost had another migraine.....my eye went wonky.....first a flashy-tv-snow-like disturbance in my lower right field of vision and gaps in my vision (tried to read and entire words were missing)....my head wwas throbbing and pills didn,t help a bit....tears were coming to my eyes and i fought hem back.....were they pain? frustration? i don,t know........i was dizzy and off-balance.......then my right side--arm and hand-- went numb and the right side of my tongue too.....this worried me a bit......i clenched and opened my hand.....bit on my tongue.....no change.......i minimized stimulus as much as possible....sat in the middle of the ferry to minimize sun exposure.....essentially missed the entire boat ride....something i had been looking forward to........i slept the journey away in an attempt to cure the pain.....this head and back business is really pissing me off........
now i,m ok but i,m tucking in early to try to avoid further problems tomorrow.......this is a beautiful place....unlike anywhere i,ve been before........and the sunset was one of the best i,ve ever seen (of course my camera had run out of batteries)......the sky the reddest i,ve ever seen it (yeah! good weather tomorrow).....silhouetting the islands and a solo fisherman in the bay.....i wandered along the midieval streets on the short walk back to my abode....i look forward to exploring with tomrrow,s sunshine....i also look forward to getting in the water
