I was fine. I went out about lunch time to walk, I managed just over 3000 steps and began to feel, not quite right. Fearing it was dehydration and heat, I called it quits and came inside. After enjoying a cool glass of water, I began to clean my kitchen even though I still wasn’t feeling the best. After I finished I came and sat down at my computer.
Weak
Slightly dizzy
Concerned.
What was going on?
Vertigo…crap.
So I removed my contacts and went to lay down. And that is where I have spent the better part of the day. Stretched out on the bed somewhere between asleep and awake. A friend who I was supposed to help move some things this afternoon called, but it was all I could do to answer the phone. When my son called, I gave him the number and he went to help. I later got a message from the lady who I am going to help in the church’s Vacation Bible School. I was a little better able to text back and forth with her, but still was woozy.
At the moment, I’m up. Its better, but not gone. I won’t be up long. I’m not pushing my luck.
I’ve dealt with this before. If memory serves me, this makes the fourth time in my entire life. The last time I blamed it on a huge club sandwich filled with processed meats. But I haven’t had one of those since. I sure didn’t have one today or yesterday. What I did was eat a ham slider last night.
So maybe. Who knows, all I know is I’ve been miserable. But I’ve made it a regular thing this footnotes blog and I didn’t want to miss a day. Its important to me to be able to do this and do this regularly.
The one odd thing, as I was laying there between asleep and awake, I swear there was one time I heard a kitten. Whether I did or didn’t, it concerned me enough to get up and bring the dogs inside. That and their constant barking wasn’t helping me. Bringing them inside I felt better able to rest.
When my son came in he asked if it was that bad. I just wanted to get up, I wanted something to drink. I wanted to do this. Now I have. So please forgive me for how this is not up to my usual. Forgive the whine. Forgive me for not acknowledging the many posts that have been made today. I pray tomorrow is better.
Vertigo. crap.

So sorry! Hope you feel better soon!
Thank you so much. I am feeling better this morning, the world doesn’t tilt every time I stand up, but the residual weakness is yet to wane. I do appreciate your kind thoughts..
Gorgeous photographs and best wishes. 🔷️🙏🏻
Thank you, for both gifts of kindness.
May this be a one-time deal
Thank you. I have them every once in a great while. Its been two years I guess since the last one so maybe I won’t have to deal with this again for a while. Thank you for your kind comments and wishes.
I’m sorry, my mom suffers from vertigo, it’s not fun, I hope you are feeling better!
Thank you. I’m much better than I was yesterday but still not fully over it. But at least now I’m not staggering as if I’ve been tying one on. Thank you for your kindness.
Ugh, you have my empathy! 🥰
Thank you.
Not sure if you have tried, Dr Carol Forster has wonderful “self help” for this, might help you. Hope you feel better soon
Thank you. I am pretty much over the latest spell of it, but I will look up this information. Thank you!
