Hah, I said that this time 'round I'm mostly able to stay awake

[conuly]

and then I proceeded to sleep pretty much the entire day. There wasn't that much to do while remaining semi-reclined on my bed, after all - the pain peaked every time I stood for an extended period, even just while going to the bathroom. Sleep was better than dwelling on the thought that if I died of a sudden stroke, at least my head wouldn't hurt anymore. But it's doing better now. Better is a relative term, still, I can type! While upright!

Still feel sleepy, and am still uneasy that this might be covid + an unrelated dental condition. But I can't exactly go to the dentist and expose him to covid - he opened his practice the same year I was born. He's more at risk from this than I am!
