dizzy !!!

     o/~ "I'm so dizzy, my head is spinning" o/~, quite like a tilt-a-world on top of a merry-go-round. 8-/ Yeah. Definitely NOT my kind of a ride!!! NOT AT ALL!!!
    Yes, I again have Vertigo. I had it back in August, and of course (o;-}) I posted about it then .
     What is Vertigo? It turns out there are little 'stones' (yes, that is the medical term for them) in your inner ears. They (at least are suppose to) sit down in this little pocket. They help you maintain balance, etc.. So yes, people whom naturally don't have very good balance, might have smaller sized stones, or some such.
     Well, mine have not stayed sitting in their little pocket. Yes, I have "a stone loose". And yes, "I'm a bit off balance". And yes, "I'm a bit sloshed". And yes ... Can you tell what type of lines I've been dealing with this week? I've also had my loving caring husband stand beside me at the funeral service and start slightly swaying side to side. And I've had people put one finger up in front of me and start slowly moving it like a pendulum. And ... . I am yet again feeling Rodney's pain - "I get no respect". ;-p
     Around five a.m. Tuesday morning, I had been laying in my bed with my brain rushing a mile a minute about things I wanted to post. So the logical thing to do, would be to get up and go write the thoughts down, right? At least that's what I had thought .... but gracious, during the night somebody had definitely done something to the world!!! Goodness!!! I wanted to just stay in bed, but somebody had notified my bladder that I was getting up ... 8-/.
     I weaved my way to the bathroom, then back to the den. While I'm up, and since all of my lower organs are not handling this spinning very well (in other words - it was now also affecting my stomach, etc.), I might as well start typing, right?
     I didn't even get signed on to my sign on screen. I weaved back to the den door way, and sat. Then grabbed a bucket full of misc. stuff which was (thankfully) sitting nearby and managed to dump it's contents onto the floor just in time. Then crawled the two feet to where my purse was sitting on a bench and called Benson via my cell phone.
    "? Hello ????!!"
    "I'm in the dining room. I need help"
    "I'm on my way!!"
     Immediately I heard him coming down the stairs. :-D. And he helped me back to the bathroom. But then he didn't help me the way I wanted him too. Yet according to Debbie G. he did exactly the right thing.
     See, the day before I had (yet) again hit my head, twice. How? Oh never mind. L-o-n-g story there. Just suffice it to say it REALLY hurt! Benson was v-e-r-y concerned that my being so dizzy and sick was due to a severe concussion. So while he wouldn't help me back up to bed, he did help me to the couch. But he wouldn't let me lay down on my retrieved pillow, he insisted I needed to be propped up with it. And he would not let me go to sleep!!! :-{ That IS what I desperately wanted to do!!! But he sat on another couch and would occasionally talk to me. Debbie says he did it exactly right ....
     I called the Doctor's office and left a very detailed message. They called back, the doctor (of course) had a couple more questions. They then diagnosed it "Vertigo" and called in a prescription. Oh, and in the meantime, your not to drive for at least three days. And ... . And ... . Blah.
     They said that the "popping" I was feeling in the top of my head, mixed with how sometimes it felt like part of my brain just fell over, mixed with both dizziness and tilt-a-world symptoms, all fit "Vertigo". "Nice". (For those of you familiar with Hyachine - that "Nice" was an impression of Onslow. ;-p!!)
     I have only been able to be on line for short little visits. Otherwise, yeah. I told Julie E. about how I had started to work at/on the kitchen sink, but that involves looking side to side and it made me so-o dizzy and ... . She reassured me that she usually gets sick and noshes doing the dishes too o;-p. And walking a straight line has been totally out of the question!! And usually Boo is only a small challenge. But this week, gracious dog!
     So I take the little blue pills they gave me (which by the way, are NOT Viagra!! ;-b), and sleep quite a bit, and only lay on my right side (even laying on my back is out - as you start to drift off, your head will of it's own accord turn to the right - NOT good!), and pretty much do absolutely nothing. I have watched a couple of the two dollar rental fee movies available on U-Verse.
     You know all of those postings I had had running around in my mind, they've gotten rather jumbled together. Our Cyndi loves jigsaw puzzles, as does "my" Kate. Perhaps the two of them working together (while eating choc. of course) can straighten them out ....
    Well, my head is informing me it's time to head back to bed ... Hopefully I'll be back soon! o/~ "Here we go loop-di-loo, here we go loop-de-li ...." o/~ far longer than just Sat. night!!!
