Where's the knife?

I'm in Hour 26 of a Really Bad Headache. Almost 20 years ago, I was in Hour 26 of utterly fruitless labor when the doctor came in and informed me he was doing a C-section. I gotta admit, I thought, "Oh, thank God." So now I'm trying to figure out what's the headache-fixing version of a C-section. All I can come up with is a lobotomy. Which would be just fine, really.

    That's it! An upside down epidural! I'm calling my doctor.
