I posted on that thread. I forgot it was here, lol. It's amazing how some people fit right in with no problems and others cause problems and blame others. Pitiful
Everyone's doing really good. It's nice to have a large, healthy, well-rounded family. Pets are one thing but a hug from one of your kids is so special. A hug from your grandkids even better. How's your family doing?
I think I'm feeling better today. Last night was bad. MM seems to be messing with my thought process in some way. Dizziness most of yesterday. It's gone today but I'm way off balance. When will that get better, or will it? Yesterday I almost broke out the cane to get around in the house. I managed to just use the furniture to navigate my way by holding on to whatever was there. Could this still be the residual after effects of the gent shot or do you think it is strictly the MM? Hubby vetoed me driving today. Try again in a couple of days.
I had a small period of rotational vertigo. About 1/2 hour. My cognition is way off. I was copying something by hand and still misspelling, leaving words out. I couldn't remember my place in what I was writing. Also little things like forgetting what I was going to do next. You're not the only one! I've never had a gent shot. You should post a thread up in the living room. You'll get more people who've had gent shots. I hope today was better. I'm feeling better now but I'm sitting on the bed. I got my cane out today and was walking around the back yard cement. I still went off balance a few times but I didn't fall and I had to stop to steady myself. The cane was good for that. I'm going to have a glass of wine. What's the worse that could happen at this point?
I read in another thread that you took klonopin today. It is dangerous to mix alcohol with benzos. Maybe reconsider the glass of wine, you dont want to find out what's the worst that can happen.
Thanks Maggie. I took the KLonipin around 3:00. I've had this for 16 years. I know not to overindulge and how much time needs to pass to be able to have a glass of Amber Mist which is a very weak wine. However, I appreciate your concern and kindness.
I'm thinking much clearer today. I think my husband thinks I've lost my mind. LOL Thankfully he understands that this is just part of what we deal with with Meniere's. He's very supportive. He must be to drive me around for the past six weeks, take over all the kids appointments, all of my appointments, grocery runs, plus work a full time job. I feel very guilty that I've put all this stress on him. That's why I'm so anxious to get back to driving and work. I'm really glad I found this forum.
I'm glad you did too. Don't worry about the burden on hubby...in wickedness and in health. We never know what lays in store what will happen to our family. They need patience because we never know when it could be them. Chit chat, hmmmm, have to come up with another project.
I think I'm going to do a needlepoint. I did only one years ago. It came out all right. I'd like to do better. I want a field of flowers and I don't know what else but something along those lines. (I can stuff it in my closet with the crochet stuff I have and my adult zen coloring books) LOL
LOL. That sounds like me. I have a closet full of all kinds of yarn for crocheting. Beads and accessories for jewelry making. And misc craft supplies. In the living room I took over one small corner and put a sewing table with my embroidery machine on it and also got a cabinet with boxes that I keep all my fabric in. Then there's the office that has more misc craft supplies and boxes of things I've made that I can't seem to get rid of.
Any fun plans for today? I am thinking I might try to get a hair appointment. No dizzies yesterday at all. Just a bit wobbly. My head feels fairly clear this morning but I haven't been up long nor have I talked to anyone yet. LOL
It mat hit upper 80s today. Only relief is at the beach. Even the dogs don't want to go outside. Neither do I. A good day for...who knows what.
I ended up getting my hair cut and making a run to Walmart. We just went last Friday but almost out of a 5 pound bag of apples and a few odd and ends. I eat a lot of apples. LOL And salads. Needed salad stuff too. Took pics of what I wanted with my hair and she sort of did it. I think it needs to grow out a bit more in the back to get the right look. . Got a little scare at the salon. She called my name and I got up to go to her chair and got a little mini spin. It came and went really fast but I thought "oh crap, I'm driving today". Then of course leaving the salon I stumble going out the door. Guess that goes with the territory now, huh? I've never been the most graceful person so this certainly doesn't help. As a matter of fact my nickname as a kid that my parents called me was Grace. LOL Question for ya...When you stand in the shower and close your eyes do you tilt to the side? I can stand straight up if I lock my knees and try really hard other wise I go to the right. Time to get some stuff done.
