I spent six hours of New Year’s Day in the emergency room, getting fluids and antinausea meds for the most evil migraine I’ve had in 12 years (i.e., the last time a migraine sent me to the ER). I’m still not feeling the greatest today. Hopefully regular blogging will resume on Thursday, perhaps with a look back at 2006 and ahead to 2007.


















Gosh, poor kitties! And their momma, of course. Glad you’re feeling a bit better and hope the kiddos are looking after you.
Hope you feel better soon.
OMG – I’m so glad that you are ok.. and I’m sure the kitties are glad too, since they can’t open cat food cans without you.. (g)
Hope you’re feeling better soon! Riley, Lucy, and Willie send their regards.
Get better soon!!! Sorry that you were *that* sick though…ack…
Oh No, hope you’re feeling better! Best wishes from me, Emma and Dallas.
Do you do, please take care of yourself! We are worried, too!
Oh no! I’ve had that migraine, and I know how very much it sucks. Hope you’re feeling better soon!
ouch! That sounds like a truly awful way to ring in the new year.
I hope the rest of it goes smoothly and pain-free!
And yet you still manage to give us a great photo of the cat people. Hope you feel better soon!
feel better! I need my daily chris dose
Whoa! Hope you’re feeling better! And also, holy crap, when did Miss May get so big?!!
Oh, Chris – I’m soo sorry!
Feel better post haste.
feel better soon!
Oh, I hope you’re doing better soon. I know the look of the cats had me scared when I saw them.
Oh, no! I’m so glad that I seem to have “outgrown” migraines, at least bad ones. I’m glad you’re feeling better. (And the kitties really do look worried.)
Yikes! Feel better!!!
Get better.
Oh, and that picture is proof positive that Chaos and Mayhem totally deserved their “cutest couple of 2006″ award!
Chaos told Isis that May had done away with you. I’m glad to hear he was fibbing.
*hugs*
Man that SUCKS! I hope you are feeling better. Migraines are just horrible.
Oh, geez, that’s awful…migraines really suck.
Yikes! What a way to start the year… But feel better soon! And I love the double shadow picture.
Feel better soon!
Sheesh – that sucks the big ole wazoo – hope you fell better soon!
yikes! As a fellow migraine sufferer, I can really sympathize. Hope you’re 100% soon!
**giant hugs** That is a most beautiful picture of the kitties — I hope you feel better tonight!
Oooh, I’m so sorry your new year got off to such a painful start! I, too, have thankfully outgrown most of my really debilitating migraines… I soooo feel for you!
The kitties really do look worried!
Well that sure sucks. I’m sorry and hope you’re back to your sunny self very soon.
Ouch, that sucks. I’ve been on that train and what a horrible way to spend your New Year’s Eve! Hope you’re feeling better soon!
Ouch! That is not a good way to bring in the new year. Take care of yourself.
Chaos and May – Congrats on your Cutest Couple award and take care of your mom.
I’m sorry you were so ill on New Year’s Day. I hope you’re feeling better soon and the migraine fairy gives you a break for a while.
What a coincidence. I had the worst migraine I’ve had in a few years on the 30th. All i had left by the 31st was what i call the ‘migraine hangover.’ Dehydrated and feeling like i had a severe blow to the head. But luckily not in the ER.
Hope they gave you some new meds!
Wow, that sounds awful! I hope you feel better soon!
Oh, that is SO not fun. So glad you’re feeling better (if not 100% yet). And Chaos and May really do look worried….
ohhhh Chris! I know migraine but I feel for you that you had one THAT bad! *hugs*
Hope your back to your old self soon.
Now that is one beautiful picture of the kitties! Gorgeous!
I vote for new meds, too — migraines suck. Glad you are feeling better. And congrats to you and The Cats on the cutest couple award. Y’all totally deserve it.
We’re both so sorry to hear about your New Year’s Day, but so glad you’re on the mend…and THAT is one amazing shot of your pair! Congrats on “cutest couple!” That they are…
(((hugs)))
Yuck – what a crummy day! Sending well wishes your way!
Oh no!! Feel better – migraines are no fun.
holy crap!!! i hope you’re feeling better… i’m sure kitty snuggles will help.
Holy crap! I’m glad you’re better now! (I just realized that Cricket said ‘holy crap’, too. cool.)
I didn’t know that what I had all fall was contagious! I’m so sorry – I must have passed along the migraines (and the blog title theme) in my posts!!!
I hope you are doing much better. Lifeis always much better when there’s fur around. I found a great kitty store for you to visit when you do finally make it to Denver and need treats for the furry ones. Take care!!!
Not the way you planned to spend the start of the new year I’ll bet. Migraines suck big time! I hope you are feeling better real soon!
Oh, cyberhugs! Feel better soon! Headaches suck, especially “go to the ER kind.”
YUCK.
Hope the toast sits well.
oh god, i’m glad to hear you’re on the mend. i’ve only had 2 migraines in my life and they weren’t nearly as bad as yours and i thought i was going to die.
so my sympathies. i hope you feel better soon.
great picture of may and chaos — i love it.
Ugh, that absolutely sucks. I hope you feel better soon.
How weird. I lay prostrate on my bed with a pillow pressed to my forhead trying to alleviate one killer migraine as well. Thankfully I neither threw up or ended in the emergency room. I hope you’re feeling better.
Gwen
Owwies! Hope you feel better now, but I haven’t read that far yet.
Oh, my, that’s not the way to spend any day! It’s nice to see how big May is getting, though. Feel much better soon!
Goodness, girl! What a scary experience! Let’s have none of that in 2007, ‘kay??
Oh no! I hope you’ll feel better soon. Serge sends an extra purring cuddle your way!
Migraines are just plain evil. I hope you’re feeling much better – I know what it feels like to be dehydrated and have to go to the emergency room (*WHY* does the fluid have to be so COLD!).
Zoe & Remy send a nuzzle each.
Oh, crap. That is not the way you want the new year to start. We demand a restart for Chris!
I hope you’re feeling better.
What a nasty way to start the year. Hope you are back to normal real soon.
Oh, and they DO look so worried, too! (“Who’s going to fill the dishes if she never comes back from the watering hole?”)
I hope you’re feeling better! That sounds like a very special and unique corner of hell, the migraine…ugh! (((hugs)))
{{{Hugs}}} Hope everything is better today! That’s so phooey! Aw, and cats know when there’s something wrong, so they were worried too, I’m sure.
And I thought you were out getting wasted like any mature adult does for New Year!
Hope you are feeling better now, God forbid I ever get a migraine that is that bad.
Take care.
pao
Yow! Mine are minor in comparison. Please take care, let the kitties watch over you, and feel better soon!
Oye. I’m so sorry! I hope it’s more than 12 before another one of those comes along. Feel better!
I have really bad migraines, but luckily never one to send me to the ER. To the doctor after a continuous one for a week, but not the ER. I hope you feel better soon.
Take care of yourself hun. Lots of rest and maybe soak your head in a hot bath today. It always helps me with my migraine hangovers.
Feel better!
I hope you feel better soon. Migraines are not fun.
Wow Chris- that’s rough. I hope you never get another one.
Relax and take care of yourself.
Oh, Chris, I’m so sorry to hear that. *hugs* Migraines are awful! Please feel better soon.
Oh Chris, hope you are feeling loads better today. The poor kitties. They do look worried. Feel better, my friend.
sorry to hear about the migraine – hope you feel better by now.
at least you didn’t get near the amount of snow we did up here. (I think one station said the neighboring town had close to 8″.)
I was wondering where you had disappeared to! Get plenty of rest and kick that migraine to the curb!
You poor thing! I was worried about you! I hope you are feeling a lot better now. HUG
we were so worried too
hope you’re feeling better soon
So sorry!! Any idea what triggered it?
Gracious! I hope you’re on the mend soon!
Take care and I hope you are feeling better very soon.
Wishing you a Happier rest of the New Year.
Oy, I’ve been there. I hope you are feeling better and also that getting it out of the way means you won’t have another bad one for 12 more years.
Take care of yourself!
Ugh! But thank God for Phenergan. Feel better soon!
Oh, my…………..hoping that you get back to “normal” soon. Those kitties do look concerned. Hopefully, they will be purring you back to health…….soon.
((Bear hug)) Migraines are evil. I hope you feel better soon!
Wow a lot of people care about you!
But I’m glad your doing better, how awful. now snuggle down with those kitties and feel better.
Oh and by the way, that is the coolest cat picture! I just love the big and small black cat effect.
Wait, they are sitting by the washing machine, did you stuff Chaos, take his picture, wash him and shrink him then take a second picture, and then overlaid the two pictures. Is this a cat conspiracy? hee hee
Oh, sorry to read about your migraine. Hope your head is improving.
Oh no. Wishing you dark rooms and much peace and quiet.
yikes! hope you’re feeling better!!
lots of kittie love…
we visited lettuce knits this afternoon… i was in a state of shock i think at how great it is. never have i been to a lys as wonderful as that. i couldn’t get anythig because i was so overwhelmed but i will return!
feel better!
Get well soon, Chris!!!
Holy shit Chris! Get your butt feeling better you hear? How scary!
xoxo
Hey! I’m sorry to hear about your migraine. If there is anything you need, just let me know. I hope you are feeling better and had an ok holiday season. Love the picture too!
So many comments…will you read us all? Sorry about your migraine! The kitty photo is a classic beautiful portrait! My first migraine? The fullblown headache/vision loss/nausea and the day before my friend went into surgery for a brain tumor…you can imagine what was going through my mind. Since then, just the ocular migraine thing that makes me a bit nauseous…typically from stress AND viral exposure. Give me quiet! Give me a cool cloth! Don’t make me look at anything!
I’m so sorry to hear this, Chris. I thankfully don’t have any experience with migraines, but find them frightening nonetheless. I hope you’re feeling better today.
Gosh! No way to ring in the NY! Feel better soon!
Oh My! Please, feel better. I get migraines too. Ick, I’ve had two that sent me to the ER, no fun. Especially when they come at you with needles, needles, needles. Sheesh! Yes, feel better my dear and quit worrying Chaos and May…and the rest of us.
I hope you feel better soon, Chaos should be taking real good care of you! Take your time coming back.
omg – I hope that you are feeling yourself soon, and that someone comes and pampers you all to bits while you are feeling so awful.
migraines are totally the pits.
all the best to you!
Good Lord! that sounds awful. Get well soon
I hope you are feeling better! Migraines are awful, although mine have never sent me to the ER, so now I consider myself lucky.
Fabulous pic of the kitties!
Glad you’re feeling better!
Oh my! That is SO NOT the way to spend a New Year. Glad you’re ok now
