I woke up in the middle of the night, and I had a cold so I thought maybe I just got a headache because I've got a cold and I've been coughing. But I couldn't even lift my head up from the pillow. And I thought...well, my first initial thought was, as a radiographer, I'm having a subarachnoid haemorrhage. And then I thought, Stop being a drama queen. It's just a headache. And tried to go back to sleep, but then it got much worse.
