Slept in, pretty much on purpose. When we got up Kris started to work on
the Apple pie. In the process she realized that she hadn't gotten enough
apples and sent me off to get 2 more Braeburns for the stuffing. When I
got back, she was laying on the couch with a look of abject misery on her
face. I asked after what was wrong and she said that she had a migraine.
Now, for the record, Kris doesn't get migraines save when they are
chemically induced. She would get them with Citoxin, and she got one with
the initial dose (double) of the anti-viral medication she was prescribed
for shingles. She took Tylenol (she's not allowed aspirin due to the blood
thinners) and that did nothing. That meant she had to wait until the
Tylenol was out of her system before she could take one of her Darvocet
since Darvocet also has Tylenol in it (and for those that don't know,
Tylenol is quite hard on the liver, so, doubling up is not a good thing).
She finally went up to bed and lay down in the dark for quite some time. I
managed to cook the bird and get dinner done. About the time she was able
to take the Darvocet, dinner was ready and she was feeling better though
certainly not 100%. Due to the nausea associated with the migraines pain,
she was barely able to eat dinner. She did tolerate the pie better than
the rest of the food.

Much better today. No migraine and plenty of energy, so, things seem to
have sorted themselves out.
