Cluster headache part 2

Wednesday morning, I open my eyes and my headache was still there. It is so fricking annoying to wake up with the same headache for days. I was supposed drop off the tests I did the day before at the midwife's office, then meet the new nanny at the par to get my son acquainted. Somehow I managed to get out of the house but my eye was pounding with pain and closing by the minute. I made it to the midwife's office and dropped off the test. The second I got in the car I called our soon to be nanny and asked if she could meet us at urgent care instead of the park  I booked it downtown to the urgent care that has seen me before and the nanny agreed to meet us there. I was so grateful that my son was in a fairly good mood and was putting up with my unavailability. I set up an audiobook and he made the best of it. The nanny showed up and played with my son while I rocked back and forth with my head in my hands, moaning in agony.  I waited 45 minutes for them to assess me then another 15 minutes to be seen. Once I was in the room the nurse and doctor were asking me questions to assess my needs. I hate this part. I know what the hell I need and I want the friggen drug STAT! I know it is just standard of practice and that they have to do that. Anyway, I finally got my injection of immunitex and anti-nausea medication that I later found out was originally created as an anti-psychotic. Oh well, after about 20 minutes I started to feel minimal pain.  I thanked my new childcare and took my soon to the park after that. It was a pretty rough couple of days but somehow I made it.
