Dizzy Blonde



Walking was an adventure this morning. Rolled out of bed with a flare up of vertigo. Must be the damp weather but man did the floor spin and the room went all wonky.

Made driving the kids to school very interesting. It's kind of like taking too much cough or cold medicine. Not something that will stop you completely but it sure forces you to work on focus for each step. After it calmed down a little it was more like wearing reading glasses to try to walk. Where you aren't quite sure where the floor is when you step. It slowly eases up and I've only walked into one wall after dropping them off.

It's an inner ear thing and I'm told by the doctors it will never fully go away. When I first discovered I had it, it was much worse. Laying in bed with one foot on the floor to try to stop the world from spinning for two days was not my idea of fun. I will pay closer attention and make sure I'm not coming down with some kind of inner ear infection, that always plays havoc with it.

Sure does make life interesting sometimes though, like a carnival ride without having to pay for the ticket!
