I am continually amazed by how differently migraines affect different people. I didn't even know that what I had was classified that way since they are not incapacitive. Fortifications? Yes. Inability to see? Yes. Inability to understand what people say to me? Yes. Headache? NO. I just say to myself that this to shall pass and maybe the world will make some sense again soon. I am so glad that you are living in a place that can make it easier for you.
Migraine stuff is the absolute worst. I went through early menopause (at 40) and then suffered through weekly debilitating migraines for the next 5-7 years until my body stopped making whatever hormone triggered them. Oh, and getting diagnosed with early menopause was another fun journey 🙃 ("you're tooooooo youuuunnnnggggg"). Good times!
You know, as we get older we tend to think we need to be in town/city where there are great hospitals, and lots of doctors, and at least 3 24hr emergency care clinics within blocks of where we live, but you make a really good staement of fact about small town living. I don't get a headache either, just the full-on body assault, take down, and knockout.
So sorry, Marjie, you're dealing with these terrible bouts of migraines and their weird and unpleasant effects. One more thing you have to contend with. As if you didn't have enough to deal with already. Take good care of yourself. Alice and the rest of us need you.

Ugh, I'm so sorry you're dealing with it too.
That sounds really horrible!
May you be much less basic bagal and more even keel.
May Alice always stay close and safe.
Here’s to less basic bagel!
Good to hear from you.
Thanks.

I’m sorry. That’s miserable.
I think you’ve got me beat. Take good care, Alice needs you.
