Still hurts, but certainly tolerable now.

Of my adult life yes. I used to migraines as a child but I cannot recall how painful those were or able to compare.

I feel okay now, and the pain is gone. At the time, I would have rated the pain 9/10.

I've always found a big helping of a naff off chicken lasagne really mitigates the morning after unpleasantries of going out on the lash.

Er, the Canucks are top of the league at the moment. Edmonton is 2 and Montreal 3.

That doesn't seem right...

I may be holding my computer the wrong way up.

Sometimes the healthcare system irritates me. You would think we could have better access to labs and not have to drive to North Vancouver just for lab work to be done....why can they not evenly distribute the services?

Ah, good. If it had carried on being extremely painful I would have said get thee to Emerge.

+1 - I had that a few years back, it felt like someone was putting an axe into my brain, I called my doctor and he said 'get down here now' - I had meningitis.

I'd been to the docs that morning as I felt really unwell and the locum had told me to go home and take paracetamol.

Glad that the headache cleared up.

I was tempted to walk to the ER this morning as it hurt so bad, and woke me up from sleep.

I took and advil and when contemplating if I should go, fell back asleep and when I woke felt fine.

I think it was my third game and yes that had lost the previous two but this was in 2014/2015 season as I didn't go to any games last year.

Ah, okay.
I've never been able to get into North American sports. Football, both rugby codes, tennis, cricket, athletics...I can watch all that but Grid Iron, baseball, basketball, ice hockey...all do nothing for me.

I am lucky then. In Ajax my local Doctor, Hospital, blood works lab and now my cardiologist are all no more than a 10 min walk from my house.

You can get most lab work done locally, this specific lab test however is not available at the local labs, closest that can accommodate is North Vancouver.

Our hospital is super close to the house, I can see it even, only 1 block away.

Looks like about 5 days of being in the dark ages regarding banking next month.

You won’t be able to:

❌use online, mobile and telephone banking, and Online Business Plus

❌do any transactions in the branch or over the phone

❌check your account balance

❌make bill payments including Canada Revenue Agency remittances
