A Wasted Day

On waking this morn just before dawn my head it was pounding so loud it was sounding I stumbled from bed hands holding my head and opened the door to my balcony as fresh air may be of some help to me But no, this headache was not going to go so tablets were taken feeling so god forsaken and drinking some water dehydrated ~ so I oughta the pain still persisted going out I resisted and went back to bed spent my day there instead for this wretched headache would not go away until 10 pm at the end of my day when I shouted loudly Hip, Hip, Hurray! Then this poem I penned day not wasted in the end! Written after recovering from a very painful headache today ~ 4th June 2019

Your writing is so clear, do you know that? It's refreshingly honest, too, Ann. Huggs Panagiota. xoxo

Nice penning Ann, so beautifully delivered but sorry about the headache but glad its cleared up eventually. I used to get loads of tension headaches and only Nurofen plus could shift them but just get the occasional one now. Have a blessed pain free day on Friday, Gordon

Oh thank you so much Gordon for your lovely visit. Yes I too used to get lots of tension headaches in the past, but I have not really had any for years, so this one was not nice and really knocked me out for the day! But I am feeling so much better now! Wishing you a beautiful Friday Gordon, with kindest thoughts Ann xx

I suffer from frequent headaches and this poem surely gonna act as a reliever to me from now on. An instant fave and I'm gonna read this whenever the headache monster catches me. Reading this gives me an assurance that I'm not alone. LOL!!

Funny how the ills in life become the threads of a poem. Glad you’re feeling better!

so sorry you've been suffering and glad you've recovered well enough to put it into a poem, not had a bad headache like yours for years - they can totally knock the stuffing out of you so do rest up:-) hugs jan xx

Many thanks Jan for your kind comments. I hardly remember when I last had a headache as painful as this, it really knocked me for six! Anyway, all better now. With kindest thoughts Ann xx

Nothing worse than a throbbing headache Ann, hope you're on the mend now. Tom

I hardly ever get headaches now Tom, so to wake with a 'blinder' this morning was not great, but many thanks for your lovely visit and yes I feel so much better now - thank you Tom. With kindest thoughts Ann xx

I am sorry to hear of your headache Ann. It seems like when you get older, some crazy illness or malady is hiding in the potted plant, ready to "sock it to you" . I hope all is better today; I trust your headache is gone now. I send you love and wishes for good health.

Oh bless you Caren, for your concern and kind wishes and yes I am feeling so much better now, thank you. More importantly I am hoping you are also feeling brighter, although I understand that shingles can go on for a while! Take care Caren, with kindest thoughts Ann xx
