It’s a curious sensation to turn a small crank in your mouth and feel the sides of your head moving apart. It wasn’t painful, just strange. I turned the crank twice a day. At times, I had headaches that felt like sinus headaches, but they were above and in front of my ears. I wore ice packs on a circular sling around my head, took hydrocodone like clockwork, and asked the prayer chain at church to pray.
The pain subsided and only flared up on rare occasions later when the weather changed. Today, I am headache – and hydrocodone – free.
