Not Getting Better

I've suffered triple-headers for the past three days. I'm fair knackered. I used the Imitrex Tip yesterday and the day before, but I refrained today--I just don't have enough Imitrex to go around using it every day, even if I can get two or three uses out of each dose. I used Oxygen for temporary relief, and napped and ate for some even more ephemeral relief.

I started off the day having to change Spark. I was, of course, exhausted. And I was sporting a Kip 7 Cluster. Spark's pants and onesie refused to cooperate with me, which was frustrating. Somehow I managed to hurt Spark while wiping him and he started wailing. Then, I was unable to get a new diaper onto him because his pants and onesie were in the way.

Spark kept crying and crying as I attempted and failed to get him changed and dressed.

By the time Tree came in to see what all the fuss was about, I was about ready to lose it. Tree took over and I retreated to the bathroom to pull myself together. The rest of the day was better but still hard as I fought through a haze of pain. The cluster didn't dissipate until 4:00 when Tree came home and relieved me of childcare duties so that I could collapse into a much needed nap after 10 hours of pain.
