I don't think you need to do a goodie bag, but if you feel like you have to do something, maybe an edible treat? Rice crispy treats with colorful sprinkles and wrapped in cellophane, a sucker,...

Knocked back down

After my thrill at having the hernia diagnosed because that gave us a solution, even though that meant surgery, I was knocked back down today and am really struggling.

Migraine?

It could be a migraine. Dizziness is a common symptom, and the headaches don't always last a long time. If she's getting these short headaches frequently, it could also be cluster headaches.

We can be crazy friends!
