Something Odd

My brain died last night.
I have had a "headache" (i.e. worse than the regular one I have all the time) for a couple of days, the kind that only goes away with total relaxation in one of two ways. Yesterday just before I left work it started to escalate into borderline migraine, so I took the super-drugs when I got home and had a nice bath.
At some point between getting out of the bath and my parents getting home my brain just stalled and then died completely. I don't remember eating dinner, I don't remember anything I did up here but I must have changed into shorts and t-shirt, put 'Darkness Radio' on the lappy and then stretched out and gone to sleep.
Mum reckons I was asleep when she came upstairs at 8pm, but I must have been awake again at about 9:30pm because the only thing I do remember is turning on my radio and sitting for a while trying to figure out why Russell Brand wasn't on. I don't know why I woke up and I must have gone back to sleep again right afterwards.
I just woke up 10 minutes ago, the headache has returned to normal but I have a slightly 'spaced' feeling which is probably drug related. I have also emailed my neurologist to let him know. Apart from being a bit light-headed from that much sleep all at once I feel back to normal.

Sometimes all 3. :o)
So anyway, the sleep and horse pills seem to have dealt with it so it's back to a hum in the background which I am quite happy with. Everytime it get worse I am reminded to count my blessings for the times it's 'normal' My neurologist wants to see me tuesday first thing so I shall hopefully find out a bit more then, but if he says the word 'stroke' I shall hit the roof.
