Yesterday my head exploded again. [View all]

Instead of happening while I was lying down and falling asleep, I was awake (though tired from lack of sleep from getting up with poor blind Abby several times in the night to take her outside to pee) and walking around.

It’s a benign condition called EHS (Exploding Head Syndrome). I’ve had it all my life, but this time not only was I sort of awake, the explosion was so loud and the jolt so strong, it knocked me to the floor.

Guess I’d better buy one of these.
