So was heading home on Saturday night and decided to stop by Jess' house seeing as I haven't seen my dear girls for a couple weeks now...and they were up watching Popeye with their parents. Cutest things ever. Popeye's not so cute though. Slightly annoying even. Hung out a little and then the most violent fit of dizziness hit me. It was crazy. I was laying on Jess' bed watching tv and my head was just swimming. So, I think I might have vertigo or some other dizzy inducing disease. (Mother, do that diagnosing magic that you do so well. You're always right). And then yesterday I was fine (despite the mood I was in, I was being such a loner and had no sympathy for the poor, nervous first time teacher of Gospel Doctrine who was breaching all kinds of temple discussion limitations in class. It was the most awkward 45 minutes ever. Partially due to the presence of the stake president. Poor kid.) until about 9:00, the dizziness set in again. So it only makes sense that my disease is on some kind of a timer. Maybe it's my internal alarm telling me that I need to get more sleep than I do. The same internal clock that has been waking me up at 4:17 and then 5:39 on a saturday regardless of what time I went to sleep. I'm mad at my internal clock.
But I'm getting distracted as usual. The point of the story was that I slept at Jess' house in order to avoid dizzy swerving all over the freeway and well, who are we kidding, Amelia was out of town and I didn't want to go home. So yesterday morning, woke up in Jess' bed with none other than the sweetest little Gracie asleep in between the two of us. Suddenly, she pops up out of dead sleep, and in her most animated voice exclaims, "I think I fouwnd out it!....It's for the birwds!" I asked her what was for the birds and she got all confused and a embarrassed scowl on her face and went back to her dead sleep. Sweet child.

i know...this will sound like i'm always having health issues...or shall we say "unhealthy" issues, but last month for about 2 weeks I had bouts of dizziness TOO! (I know..you're saying, "there she goes again...Hypochondriac Kim") I thought it had to be the brain tumor...the dormant one that has been lying in wait for 15 years or so.......anyway...the dizziness has passed. My mother (also a very good diagnoser of my ills - and also an R.N.) told me it could have been an "inner ear problem" or one of her usual diagnosis..."an allergy".
Neither one of those really settled me though. I was pretty certain it was the brain tumor.
However...it was likely an allergy and or the inner ear thing (or an inner ear allergy)...because it's gone now and as my dear Nurse Mother always reminds me..."if it was a tumor, you'd have died a long time ago..."
Funny, Funny Mother.
good luck with your dizziness disease.
love ya...
Thanks Kim! Glad to hear that it's probably not a tumor! Actually, I discovered Monday night that I got whatever Jessica and fam had. And am on the recovering end of it now. I hope. Thanks for the empathy!
ps...i'm a hypocondriac as well. so no apologizing. maybe we can start a club!
