BPPV

“…because of advanced age.” REALLY! I am OFFENDED! I am not THAT OLD!!!

The last few days I have had a pretty bad case of vertigo. I woke up with it Wednesday morning and was wondering what the heck was going on. Apparently there is a condition called BPPV that is not too uncommon in people over 50. It can last just a few days or several weeks, and I’ve had it for five days now. If it does not get better by tomorrow, I guess I'll go into the doctor and see if he can perform the exercises prescribed on the web with me, all assuming that I’ve correctly diagnosed my condition of course. I can’t wait for it to go away. On the other hand, Anneliese, my d-i-l, might actually welcome this condition as she seems to sooooooo much enjoy roller coaster rides as well as anything else that turns her upside-down. Ha! I will will her my symptoms!

Yesterday was DUCK fever day. Yeas, they won although they didn’t look as great as last year’s team. John and I rushed up to Eugene yesterday morning and then came back early this morning in the hopes to get a little R&R and do some domestic chores before the beginning of another work week.

Did I say yet how difficult it is to bowl with BPPV? Needless to say this week I did not improve my average.

Dreams

Finally I got to use my hot tub again. The last couple of weeks have been soooo busy that I've not allowed myself the luxury of relaxing...not even last weekend. The getting-in-work-routine in the morning (getting up earlier) has taken longer than expected, and last weekend John and I gladly took the opportunity to entertain Myles in the early morning so that the girls could sleep in a bit, a rarity when you live with a two-year old. This morning was IT. YES! Hot tub time!!!

I came back from my first walk in over three days and found John already in the hot tub. I quickly joined him, taking my book although I knew we would probably end up talking the whole time. And we did! John shared his latest dreams with me. He had two but I only remember one: He and Bob (Akin) were both crying rivers in his dreams because they were both so sad that they are not living closer to Nolan & Anneliese. Bob cried because he lives too far from Anneliese and could not come to her rescue when she had mechanical issues with her car, and John because he just lives too far way to see them regularly, period! Maybe I just have a wonderful imagination but I visualized Bob and John embracing each other in consolation of their shared grief, each while his runny, snotty nose is getting the other all wet. What a sight. Boys, wanna hanky???

I have the house all to myself tonight as John is in Eugene for the first Duck home football game. At least I have The Boys to keep me company.

No Time

I really thought I'd have some time to catch up on my Blog this weekend but that is not to be so. I guess that is no surprise with a toddler in the house. Boy is he full of it. Here is a short little something to give you an idea of the weekend. More later
