I've come to watch your flowers growing
It's spring!
And there's better migraine news! The Botox has been a wash, after the first three days were a disaster. I've restarted taking Topomax, which was the drug that worked in the first place. I'm guardedly optimistic, which is better than I've felt in months! I've had to take a lot less Imitrex, and my head feels clearer, and my background headaches are better, and I'm starting to think I'll be able to run again.
I'm so fucking excited! Yesterday I walked around five miles (probably a little over), going to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and to see a friend's musical, and walking back to the house along Prospect Park. It felt so damn good to use my legs for as long as that; my quads in particular were happy to see some action.
And daffodils and pansies and tulips and hooray.

Congrats! That's great news. This weekend was perfect for walking -- I'm hoping this rain will clear up and we have a few more days like that -- walking the loop felt great.
