A rant.

Dear Ms. I-Didn't-Bring-My-Child-To-Therapy,

I'm sorry you have a migraine. Really, I am. Having never had one before, I can't really say I know how you feel, but I imagine you're in quite a bit of pain. My throat is singing 'Ave Maria Stella' right about now, but that's okay, too. I'm sorry you were too sick to sit in the waiting room while I worked with your grandson. I raced over there, 30+ miles in the pouring and blinding rain, because I care. But that's okay, too.

You know, I'm really worried about him. He's not even four, and he's been through so much. Your grandson self-injures, you know. I bet that hurts more than a migraine.

Thanks.
Jude

Granted, I'm the first to say that Grandma with or without a migraine is in tough shape, since she has more than the three year old, she has his two- and one-year-old siblings as well. Grandma's a little overwhelmed right now. Yep.

I just get concerned when people use 'migraine' and 'headache' interchangeably, because there's a difference. I've talked to people (inadvertently) while they were migraining. This woman seriously sounded like she just didn't want to drive in the rain.

And when your three-year-old likes to pound his head until he's unconscious, that can kill, too.

But anyway. This is beating a dead, migrainy horse. So.
