Mothership Down - Final Installment

You can read the final installment of my ovarian cyst story here. I'm so glad I'm feeling much better!

I'm alive, everything is dandy, recovery has been super slow but steady. Just checking in to let everyone know I'm still on the planet.

While I finish getting back on track, try taking the Computer Geek or Serial Killer Quiz!

When the inner ear ain't happy, ain't nobody happy

A couple of weeks ago I had a mild case of the flu - low grade fever, aches, pains, chills, all things that demand bed rest and cups of hot broth. Of course, having young boys the bed rest was a pipe dream, but at least I took ramen at morning, noon, and night. Six cents a pack, can't beat that.

One of my symptoms other than the usual scared me. Straight-up wild vertigo. Every time I swished my head this way or that, up or down, side to side, the room lifted from the foundation and spun - hard! It's two weeks later and the room still vibrates. Gotta be a sinus deal, I figured, and visted the local walk-in clinic.

Ends up it's not sinus, just a viral infection - vestibular neuritis - of the nerve that runs from inner ear to brain. Just give it a few weeks, says the doc. It will heal.

Weeks?! Ugh. Can't accomplish a whole lot when the world is tornado.
