Sorry to hear that your surgery got postponed and that you have an intense headache. The DOES sound painful My favorite author calls headaches due to excessive screen time "phosphenic" migraines. I find headaches so awful because i can't do anything: watch, read, listen -- it's all too painful. I usually end up just sitting quietly with my eyes closed. I haven't tried podcasts tho. I heard of one woman with a concussion who had to sit in the dark for weeks so she listened to podcasts. "Everything is Alive" is the only one i've tried and the first chapter was charming. Also "Homecoming" was excellent. Glad to hear you find us all here a comfort. If there's anything i can do, let me know.
