Better!?!?

Funny story about my vertigo.  Yesterday I was subbing.  I was sitting on this stool watching the kids.  One of the kids was upset and put his head under the table.  I didn't think and leaned over on my stool to look under the table.  The vertigo hit and I felt like I was falling off the stool.  I wasn't falling and the only moving was coming from my arms and legs flailing around trying to catch myself (even though I wasn't moving).  If anyone saw me they had to be wondering what the heck, oh well.  That was my last (fingers crossed) serious dizzy spell and it was one to remember.

It has been exactly a week since this miserable thing called "vertigo" entered my life.  Today was the first day that I have actually felt like myself.  I can still feel the remnants of a week of dizziness.  My mind is still foggy and I am still having trouble reading for long periods of time, but I am upright.  And it feels good.  My husband and I went for a nice long walk between rain storms and had a nice lunch out.  It is so good to be getting back to normal.

Today I am thankful for long walks.  We had a nice time chatting together and watching our pup explore.

  1. I am so sorry to hear about your new issue with vertigo. I hope it might have at least made the student feel better. Long walks are the best!
