Follow-up to How Off am I?

May 22nd, 2008 · 4 Comments

Woke up this morning with serious balance issues. I fell three times just trying to get out of bed. Luckily I was always next to something the next several times I fell and was able to catch myself.

I called the clinic as soon as they opened and the Dial-A-Nurse said to come in as soon as I could; just do not drive. With the help of someone special I made it in about 2 hours later.

The diagnosis is a viral infection which is causing vertigo. I was given an anti-viral drug and something short of bed rest until well. Could be a few or several days. And I cannot drive. You know, like Monday is only a couple days away. So who knows at this point what I am doing. I can go later but the longer I delay the less time Jeremy will be off while I’m there. :(

On a more positive note, though, I do want to say that you folks are an amazing and wonderful bunch. I feel so very positive towards the world and am so grateful for the kindness of friends along every spectrum of that word.

I have actually received more emails than comments so the immediate feedback is heartening. I will reply to everyone as soon as I can and especially once I know more what I am doing and when I am doing it.

Thank you! You folks are a very special bunch.

Now for a nap and then hopefully finish that cover letter and finalize my application for a job that is calling my name.

Again, thank you all so very much! Despite this setback my heart is singing for even more reasons lately.

    Oh no, Mark! That’s awful. I had that same thing a few months ago. I had the flu and on the third day I was sick the world started spinning. It went away after a couple of days and the medication they gave me for dizziness (just a prescription version of Bonine, which you can get OTC) also helped a bit. I hope you get better really soon so you can have plenty of time with your son.

    It is so nice to hear that you’re in good spirits in spite of this.

    Thanks, ladies. I appreciate the thoughts.

    My world is currently revolving around the care and attention that people show each other and it is a wonderful thing.
