Well this weekend didn't quite go as planned.
I had been fighting a migraine since last Wednesday, it returned Thursday at work. Well we were battling some crazy fires here in So Cal, and being a dispatcher, it wasn't the best time for being sick. I wore sunglasses for 6 hours... then decided enough was enough and headed home.
Come Saturday, I work up with yet again, more pain in my head/eyes. I thought maybe a quick trip to Urgent Care was necessary. My husband sweetly reminded me that he had to be home by 12:30...
The Dr. working had no idea what my problem was. Migraine? Eye strain? I was just about to say forget it when she said were gonna give you a shot.
HOLD. THE. PHONE
No.
I don't do shots.
or
Needles.
She pretty much responded that I didn't have a choice...
As I cursed under my breath, I got a shot in my hip with immediate pain in my right cheek.
They disappeared. I immediately knew I was going to faint, crawled to the door, yelled out, and woke up having NO idea where I was. Sweet.
Put me in a chair, where I just faint again.
My husband looked pissed. It's 1:30. He is about to leave my ass there.
I somehow convince them I am fine and cry myself to the car. Mind you my right leg isn't really working.
I left there feeling 100 times worse.
Still having eye pain 30 hours later...
My cheek still hurts. I bit my tongue mid faint. Nice welt on my head.

:( Aw you poor thing! That sounds horrible. Hoping you get lots of rest and start feeling better :)
holy cow, rough go! I hate needles too. with a passion. hope you're feeling better!
Oh no! I have fainted before and it's awful! Once I did on the subway and it was super scary being all alone and experiencing that.
Oh no, that sucks :( I hope you feel better really soon!
You poor thing!!! Feel better real soon!!
How scary! There's nothing worse than FINALLY dragging yourself to the doctor only to feel worse as a result of the visit. I deal with migraines too so I feel your pain! I hope it goes away soon.
oh my gosh poor you!! hope you are feeling better now. xoxo
Omg were you alone when you fainted? That happened to me once and I broke my nose! It's a big no no to leave someone after they get a shot! I hope everything is ok and you get to feeling better soon!
