Some Resolution: This Really is My Calling

I woke up feeling a lot better, although there's still some tension in my neck and shoulders. I went to therapy again today to work stuff out, and I feel a lot better. I guess that I was reading some into my therapist's response, and she isn't so gung ho about me quitting academia and studying sexual violence. Instead, we talked about trying to find some way to stay on my path while finding a way to have balance in my life. Part of that is going to have to be better communication about and enforcement of boundaries with my research team and my advisor in particular.

I made an appointment to meet with an osteopath - who supposedly can help with my shoulder/back problems and migraines by manipulating areas of my back with his hands - kind of like a chiropractor or physical therapist, but with different training. He will be very expensive, but is highly recommended, and my insurance should pay for half of the cost. Of course, only if I get a referral, which means I have to schlep up to campus, but that's okay.

Anyway, I still have a little risidual pain from the migraine - like it hasn't totally gone away - because its aggrivated by movement and by light. So I'm not sure what to do - maybe just bite the bullet and take an Imitrex? Maybe just try to take the homeopathic and Chinese medicine stuff that I have? Maybe its a bad idea to go to Denver and be flying and aggrivating things more?
