I almost dialed 911

threedayweekend2The pressure in my head was building, causing spots in my vision.

The location was odd, above my ears on both sides.

I could feel my heartbeat pulsing through the pain.

What should I do?

Take Motrin?

Lie down?

Call Hubby?

Call an ambulance?

10 minutes went by and I thought, I’ve had coffee. It’s not caffeine withdrawal.

Menstrual? No,the headaches are NOT usually like this.

I get migraines, but this one feels different.

Worse. If possible.

20 minutes in and I can’t take it.

I get up and go into the bathroom. Afraid to walk, afraid to fall, afraid to vomit.

Then one look in the mirror says it all.

Wearing K’s headband from a game of dress up.

The band was so tight it numbed either side of my head where it met my scalp with such tight force.

The damn thing nearly sent me to ER, and boy would they have LAUGHED.

Reason #458 on why I’ll never be royalty.

    HAHAHAHAHAAA.

    Yet another thing I don’t have to worry about with boys. But if I ever forget I’m wearing a fireman hat, I AM going to call 911, because those damn things are pretty hard to ignore.

    I can’t imagine if I tried to wear a dress up headband, I can’t wear adult sized ones without headaches. And yes welcome to the world of aiming low, glad to have you here!

  10. Holy crap, that’s hilarious…

    Bonus points to you, though, for putting it on in the first place!!

    Headbands are torture, though, thank goodness my girl won’t let me near hers LOL!

    HAHAHAHA … I would have loved to see the faces of the ER workers … HAHAHAHA … that is priceless. I can’t wear hats or headbands without getting an instant headache. At least it was quick and easy to get relief from your pain.
