Feb. 6, 2008
Good morning. Well I went to the doctor on Monday morning and I have not left the house or done much since. I have a virus in my inner ear called Verdigo which makes me feel like I am spinning. I can't drive. I can't bend over, I can walk sort of. I didn't go to school yesterday and slpet alot. I fell asleep about 9 pm Mon. night, woke up yesterday at 11 am, ate some cereal and then back to bed at 12:30, I did get up for the day at 3pm just before the kids got home. My house is doing ok, I offered to pay the kids for chores so they have been doing laundry, taking out the trash, just about anything I ask. It has been nice. I am just ready for the world to stop spinning now. I have a 4 pg. midterm paper due by Friday and I can hardly read or type. So please pray that this goes away. I have no choice but to go to the market today and try to get some stuff done around the house.
Now normally I hate going to the doctor but this time I was excited because in June I went to the doctor for a check up and she basically told me I was obese. Isn't that a nice comment to get. She kind of said she wouldn't treat some of the problems I was having because they were caused by weight. I was offended of course but once I started losing the weight I couldn't wait to go back and say in your face lady. So 55 pounds lighter then the last time I had gone in she was much nicer and willing to listen to me this time. I also got my iron check and for like the first time in my life I was not anemic. So all in all I think it was a good doctor visit.
Well I am off to try to get some reading done. The virus is in my left ear so I always feel like I am spinning to the right. I am going to try spinning to the left while reading to see if it helps :)
Just kidding,
Ali

Sorry to hear about the Verdigo Ali. When I read your post yesterday, I was hoping that you weren't experiencing that. A friend of mine had a bad case before. My prayers for a speedy recovery!
