Our little family is happily installed in St. Dalmas, a village in the greater commune of Valdeblore, where there is a ski skation La Colmiane. We arrived this afternoon and are thrilled with our chalet that I found to rent on the internet. The owner and his wife were here for the meet & greet.
No photos to show yet and here's why: this morning at 7 a.m. I woke up with a headache, which progressively got worse as I spent my morning packing up to leave Nice, with Andrée & Guy helping. We left around 12:30 for the quick ride (less and 90 minutes) and my headache was escalating. Eventually I was carsick and Thomas did a quick pull-over. As soon as our meet & greet was over at the chalet, I laid down and things went from bad to worse. After vomiting 10 times and feeling like my head would split open, phone calls were made, and a lovely doctor named Vincent arrived at our snowbound chalet, gave me a shot in the butt and some codeine to drink and went on his merry way. 1 hour later I was able to sit up. 4 hours later I ate soup.
Holy migraine, batman. This happened to me once last year and the same result: only a shot in the butt was able to save me. Anyways, so grateful for the French system of doctor house calls - even up a mountain in the snow! Yeah France!
