I still had a little residual dizziness yesterday but on the whole, I can say the BPV has gone. Last night I was lying in bed reading and for some reason, I tilted my head back and looked up and, whoosh! there was the ceiling rotating around again! Then I remembered that this stuff is…

 I feel a little bit better today than I did yesterday but I am still not totally well. I feel the way I do when I get travel sick---a bit woozy and disoriented with a slight tendency to stagger around! My stomach feels a bit uncertain so I guess it is another day within close…

This what has been happening to me today: "Benign positional vertigo (BPV)-or simply vertigo-is a disorder of the inner ear. You feel a sudden sensation of movement or spinning when you move your head or hold it in a certain position. The inner ear is located within your skull and consists o...

This morning I am proud to say that I walked for 13 minutes on the new treadmill. Now, before you laugh, remember who is talking. I am a septagenarian carrying at least  an extra 15 pounds.  I have a replaced left hip, and at present, walk with a cane. And, I am, as my doctor…

This morning I walked up to the drug store to redeem the two rain checks on the coffee they ran out of on Saturday. When I got there, I checked where the coffee was and there was none. So, I found a young man stocking shelves and asked him  was there actually any coffee in…

The test was scheduled at 7:15 this morning which was stress enough! I could have changed it  but back in the "then" of that time when the appointment was made, I decided I could do it! Well, I did but that is awfully early! When I got there, I casually mentioned I had had a…

Today was my return visit to the doctor. She was pleased to hear that I took only three Ativan pills over the first two days after I came to see her last. I was pleased too. I have learned from previous I've-got-cancer fear-loops that once I can calm down, I can see the silliness of…

I have always been a person who could do whatever needed to be done. I never thought of myself as a high energy person but whatever needed to be done got done. Unfortunately, after the hip surgery a year ago, I am no longer that person. I am wondering if this is something I should…

I drove into Burlington yesterday to get my scheduled massage and Beth never turned up! Now, this is very unusual for her. Usually if we have a problem it comes from my end. I forget the time or write the date down wrongly. Anyway, I called Fred on the off-chance it wasn't my fault and…
