So Kim has been down with Vertigo for some days now!!!!!
It hit Thursday morning as I got out of bed and face planted. Scared Kelsa to death. I was able to get up and shake it off. I sewed the whole day and felt fine.
Friday morning not so much. Flat on my back, vomiting and dry heaving most of day. It was and is awful. You have no control.
I was so pissed as I had gotten all sewing done and I had two days to work in the yard. Ha Ha. Daughter had to take her days off to care for me as I could not be alone.
Daughter called my girlfriend and her daughter that are both nurses and they came over to help get me off the floor. My vitals were all normal except the abnormally low blood pressure which is normal for me. But this condition does not help vertigo, as I can get loopy every time I stand up. I have a really low resting heartrate also. I am sure this is from being so active all my life, but that did not help either.
I had to creep all weekend, and I am extra careful how I move. I even had to keep my eyes closed for almost 48 hours to keep from getting sick.
Signe' and I tried the Epley maneuver on Friday and 24 hours later on Saturday and it did seem to help. But it has not been a good adventure. Do any of you or have any of you ever had this condition? If so what did you do?
I leave tomorrow for Sissie's. I am excited but not excited about the plane as I am afraid it will affect my inner ear. I am stocking up on Dramamine.
All work is done except one wedding dress, and I have called her to explain, and she was very nice about it. Will do her dress as soon as I get home. Plus, it is a complicated alteration, and you sure don't want me doing it now!!!!
I have a few things I want to get done today and I have a wedding dress that is to be picked up today and then I need to pack.
Please say prayers for me with my health and Sissie and my trip across country, with two cats! I am actually looking forward to this adventure, such tails to tell. Pardon the pun:)
I am so excited as Slugs and Dan will be here in September I can hardly wait. But time flies.
Miss all of you but when I get back, I will be able to stay closer in touch as I will have my drill sergeant here, to keep me on track.
Kim
