Why I shouldn't watch TV during the day

I was home sick today. Yesterday, as we were driving home, I noticed that familiar eye twitch and ache in my shoulder/neck. A sure sign I am about to get a migraine.

Around 9, it got worse. I am trying to be so good about not taking any medicine at all so I sucked it up. I took a hot shower and fell asleep.

I woke up around 1, 2:30 and 4 (I love this constant peeing thing) and realized there was NO way I would make it to work today. Hurt way too much.

I stayed home, slept off and on.

Sometime today, there was a show on TLC or something about Bringing home your new baby. The first episode was great - they prepared the nursery, family was there, etc....

Second episode - the couple saw no reason to really prepare for the baby. I kid you not. That was (as close as I remember) to their exact words. They said all you needed was some diapers and some onesies. Grrrr... Ok. Fine. That irritated me a bit, but whatever.

Next thing you know, they are talking about something called a spinal headache or an epidural headache. What in the hell is this? Why has this never been mentioned before? This is not in any book that I have seen so far. I googled it and really had to dig to find it.

This woman (who, yes, saw no reason to buy anything more than some diapers and some onesies - and yes, they ended up with a stroller and with boppy pillow) literally could NOT sit up without being in extreme pain. She had problems nursing the baby. Her significant other/guy/fellow not-preparer had to go and buy her a bed pan.

Could someone please explain to me what in hell a spinal headache/epidural headache is?

I was all about an epidural (thanks to the encouragement of my doctor) until learning of this phenomenon.

Yes, I know I have 200 some odd days until I have to worry about this, but in my mind, that's 200 some odd days to worry about this.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why I should not watch TV during the day when I am home sick.
