Dunno

Went to Dr yesterday- decided I am either overmedicated or there is something terribly wrong. Took me off of my motion sickness patch and they said the withdrawl can be as bad as before I had it.

Yesterday when I was going through some testing with my fingers - touch your fingers to your thumb, shakiness, start of a migraine, still walking funny, light headed feeling, memory tests and speech problems and following a pencil - I failed. This is finally making the Dr worried enough that he is finally ordering an MRI. Charles has cancelled his trip to Indiana to an awesome auction with tractors so that he can take me to get my MRI.

I am sure I won't know the results for awhile but I hope that they find nothing or something.

Izzy got bumped up to JV and so she is fighting a head cold and playing Libaro for JV tonight at Holton. Go Falcons!

Vertigo and Back to School!

No pictures as I haven't been real good about taking any lately. Sorry kids. I got Pedro on her first day of school. Izzy I didn't get any of because I am still being chauffered to work and she just wasn't up that darn early!

I am still having some problems with the vertigo. I am not dizzy anymore but I am still having trouble controlling my balance and I feel like I am walking around in a bubble. Things are there -but they aren't there. I don't know how to explain it but it is very frustrating. They had cleared me to drive but when I do - it drives me bonkers. Almost like driving through a tunnel that keeps getting smaller and smaller - like I am playing one of those race car driver games.

When the dizziness stopped I started getting headaches. I am not sure why I didn't have headaches with the vertigo.

Going for a checkup today to see if anything can be done or if we can move ahead and have some more tests done I would suppose.

On a good note - Our Tractor show had 104 tractors and there was a write up of a whole page in our weekly wipe of a newspaper which has taken another jump in price with more ads than ever. Bad note of that - I didn't take a whole lotta pictures this year.

Benign Paroxsymal Positional Vertigo

Benign Paroxsymal Positional Vertigo BPPV is the official diagnosis. I have had this since last Friday and I am going insane. I can't drive, I can hardly eat, my back is killing me from sleeping in a 45 degree angle on the couch and only two have gone to the ER, a regular doctor, and a physical therapist. Next stop a neurologist. Possibly surgery if this doesn't reverse myself. The worst is that I am using sick leave and then will loose my vacation time and then my long term and once that is gone I could lose my job.

Vacation

I should have explained the photos. We took off from our house two weeks ago this coming Friday for a trip to South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming and Montana. Did we see and do everything - you betcha! We had a great time, attitudes were in check for most of the trip, and we made it home without getting stopped by the DOT. Some highlights of the trip were Mammoth Springs in Hot Springs, Crazy Horse in the rain, Bear Country USA, Mt Rushmore, Needles Highway, Full Throttle Saloon in Sturgis, Devil's Tower in Wyoming, and a tractor auction in Montana. 2800 miles later were arrived home Sunday night after driving over 800 miles from Dickinson ND on Sunday! Glad to be home, the kids are enrolled in school and I am back to work on Thurs.

Check This Out!

We are still battling snakes and this is what happened in our yard today. Avery had a field day with it after Charles almost stepped on it. This was in almost the same exact spot the girls encountered one
