I keep my eyes closed unless I have to open them. Doesn't help that all of the tiles are WHITE! I keep my feet on each side of the tub. The dogs Seresto collars came today. 1/2 the price than the vets. That was good until my husband asked me to read the directions...f you, call up one of the kids and don't bother me again. My dogs cuddles on each side of me when I'm spinning and the little squeezed in their somewhere. Unconditional love.
I can't close my eyes. I get very off balance and start to spin. When I do have to to keep from getting shampoo in my eyes, I lean against the side to stabilize myself. That's the last thing I need is to fall in the shower. Anyone else notice walking with thier legs spread apart a bit more than normal? Makes me feel like a weeble wobble. Helps keep my balance better though. I'd really like to walk normal again and not have these balance issues. People must think I'm drunk half the time. Maybe it'll even out soon. My last shot was a couple of weeks ago. Back to work tomorrow. I'm on my feet the whole time. And a lot of times I have to lean over and turn my head almost upside down to see what I'm doing. Not sure how that is going to work. Guess I'll find out. Sure wish I could find another job that had the great hours I have now and paid good. I can think off a few places I wouldn't mind working but it would take me working twice if not more as much as now to bring in the same thing. Not quite the trade I'm looking for. I used to love my job. Not sure what happened. Bea, have you started to feel any better this evening?
I'm really considering getting used to walking with a cane until the new antiviral kicks in. I'm hoping it works and I hope it's sooner than later.
I'm sure people have said the same about me. Are you like that every day or are some better than others, like me. I have a cane in the kitchen just in case. How has everyone's day been?
Mine have seem to be getting worse and so far the new antiviral hasn't kicked in. I kept trying to get up and walk around the house. Then went to the yard. 13 stairs down then up. It wasn't the best idea I've had.
I looked up some exercises to do on the computer and tried some of them. I could do the ones sitting down pretty well, except the one where you move an object close to your face to farther away and keep your eyes on it the whole time. I'm not sure why that one didn't work well but it made me feel a tad dizzy and my eyes got all messed up. Then I went on to the standing exercises. Let's just say it will be safer to do those when my husband is home for him to supervise and keep me upright. Didn't do so well with those. Oh well, I'll try walking a lot too and sooner or later I'll get there.
Ok, now the dogs are getting on my nerves. Don't remember where I posted about the dogs but I feel differently now. I'm practicing walking around my yard (cement) with a cane. I don't think I should venture out at all while I'm episodic. My home is my safe zone. I used to walk a lot. Now if I'm lucky hubs and I will walk the trails or I would with the dogs. I won't give that up. Not without a fight. Sometimes I read these threads and my thoughts stay in that one one place even though I'm posting somewhere completely different.
I do that too. I know I posted something specific but can't remember where. Definitely don't give up what you enjoy as long as you can do it, even if it's hard. I am one of those people that do not like exercise and I'm not an outside person.
I don't really swing in it, just like to sit in it and watch my husband and dog play or sit and just talk to my husband alone. It has a canopy on top and has some great cushions so that's why I like it. Swinging at a constant pace I agree would not be a good idea.
