Migraine Awareness Month

 So June is Migraine awareness month. I have added a hat to those I already wear. I am now a Migraine advocate in addition to a Breast Cancer advocate. Interesting, right? I really don't advocate for either of those things! I rather am a patient advocate for those that suffer from those afflictions. There, that sounds much better. As such, I was asked/told to put up a post on face book yesterday as part of a campain, "The pain behind the smile" So I was not keen to do this but... when called out about it, I did. First I found a suitable picture, and then the caption. I will replicate it here.

It is Migraine Awareness month...June 14th...is The Pain behind the smile....no smile here. But can you see it in my eyes?

 

So that was the post. I first posted it in the general population of my FB feed. Then I posted it to  the two Migraine groups that I belonged to. I could not believe the number of comments and reactions that I got on the general post. I mean, I kind of expected it from the members of the migraine groups, but I was surprised and tickled by the response of the other friends. So nice!

So that's it for today...

I am Back

It has been quite a while since I have posted a blog and so I have to say I am quite rusty! AS you might imagine a lot has happened since I last posted. Some good some bad. I will not go on at length as I do remember that shorter is better!

SO I can say that I have lost both of my parents since last here. Not together, actually two years apart. Very sad. 

Once Covid hit I was furloughed, and then my psition was eliminated uncerimoniously, by a phone call. Nice...So after a thirty some year career as an Embryologist and before that as a med tech. That was it...no severance.

Today as I went to fill out my weekly unemployment, I had no open action to fill out...so on this, I didn't even get notification, and so, it is on to social security and official retirement! Yippee!

Until Next time,
