Since I'm not prone to go to the doctor, I don't have one. But there is a clinic right by where I work, so we decided to go there. When we get into the doctor, he takes all of 10 minutes to tell me I'm dizzy and it's non-life threatening.
I kinda already knew that. I mean I was happy to hear I was not dying. But I have to say, in my mind I was thinking, and how would you know since all you did was look in my mouth and ears?? I guess what he means, is if I have something that will kill me, it isn't going to be today!
He offered me a shot, that might help and a prescription that will help with the throwing up. He thinks it should clear up in a few days. And then I got to pay $139 for his help in telling me I'm dizzy and not dying today!
The good part is that it comes and goes, and seems to come when I move like as in walking. So I got out of dinner cooking, and basically layed on the couch all night. He also recommened that I stay home today from work, and rest. (That is worth the $139, almost.)
The bad part is a blog I read from time to time deals with this everyday, she has vertigo, and while it isn't going to kill her, it has made her life change drastically! I hadn't visited her blog in awhile, but this morning I was thinking about her. If you have a chance drop by her blog, because she has a sense of humor that I love!
Oh yea, the eggs tasted just fine. We had scrambled eggs, and nobody could tell any difference. On a different note, Chad found a cure for dry lips:
The Name....Chicken Poop comes from Jamie’s goofy grandpa replying to her complaint of having dry lips. He’d say, “I know how to fix those dry lips, I’ll rub some chicken poop on ‘em so you won’t be lickin’ ‘em.” Brilliant, don’t you think?If you think you would like to buy some, you can find it at drugstore.com, for $2.69. I think Satan (sorry I just re-read my post and it should say, Santa) may have to bring some of this!

Thank you for sharing about the blog. I have had vertigo for 2 yrs and know what it is to have my life compromised by it as well.
I hope that Santa (or Satan) doesn't bring me the chicken poop lip balm, however. Thankfully, my lips are not too chapped so I think I'm okay.
Gosh, I hope you feel better soon and I hope your vertigo doesn't linger.
YOur type at the end made me laugh out loud.
I like how it says 'free range' chicken poop
Hope you feel better soon.
I do like the free range chicken poop. Appeals to my warped sense of humour.
Hope you are feeling better soon.
Just checking in - wondering how you are doing??

Hey Jenny, Just wanted to say hello. I love the Chicken Poop lip balm! my boys would think that is hilarious!!
Also wanted to let you know that I have had the opportunity to preach at my home church a few times. It has been great. If you are interested you can listen on-line at www.tgf.cc my name is attached to the messages I taught although they are all good :) (I am not sure if the latest message, from yesterday, has been posted yet)

If your suffering from vertigo, you might want to read this post. I had similar problems (as did my niece) and these exercises cured us. http://www.newrinkles.com/index.php/archive/vertigo-stop-the-dizziness/
