...collapsed at the doctors' surgery today and had to be brought home after being taken to hospital for another check up.
My friend is clearing up down stairs after bringing me home, feeding me and making up drinks for the night. So this is just a quickie before I bed down for the rest of the night.
My vertigo is real bad and so I am having to accept that I am not going anywhere, not doing anything much, and I have to accept that for the most part I am confined to bed for the next weekend at the very least.
I am not allowed to get up without someone being here, well I can just about make it to the bathroom and back if I am careful, but I am not to attempt to go down the stairs on my own. I am expecting someone from my church pastoral team to call in tomorrow morning [pure luck my pastor was at the hospital when they brought me in - was that divine intervention? makes one wonder] to check on me and to make up a couple of trays for me, and a friend is coming over on Sunday to do more of the same.
After than I will have to see how it goes.
Grabbed myself a good book, but feel really poorly right now. I hate this. Heartbroken.

I am so sorry, HB that you are still dealing with illness and vertigo. Please hang in there and try to focus your thoughts on getting well. I can only imagine how difficult it must be. Are you dizzy while in bed too? If so, I imagine reading is not a whole lot of fun...
God knew what he was doing when he put the paster at the hospital for you. How wonderful!
Being a single of mom of 3 kids of diverse ages and thus various needs, more and more I am having to move beyond my comfort zone and reach out to my friends for help. What I am finding is that they want to help me just like I want to help them. I hope you can not only willingly help the assistance that is offered you, but ask for more if you need to.
What goes around,comes around, and always there is opportunity to bless others in return.
Take care of yourself,
Lou

I can relate with having to surrender. My health went down the toilet eventually. Be good to yourself. Sometimes we have to go with the flow. I am so glad you have people around to help you.
You have absolutely no reason at the moment not to be good to yourself. This is practice time. Practice loving Susan. We do. "This too will pass" and the Serenity Prayer will work wonders as reminders. Practice, Practice, Practice.
(((hb))), Sorry to hear your not feeling well.hope you can relax and take it easy adn catch up on some reading, tv etc.Nice that your pastor was at hospital today adn that you will ahv somwebody to help you out while you are sick.Get well soon, and take care of you.Sending prayers and good vibes fro good health & happiness:)
HB, so sorry it popped back! I had to deal with vertigo off and on for a full year and one of the rotten things about it was that I could not read for very long- it made me spin (everything made me spin). Its really so debilitating! I am so sorry you have to deal with it. Its really awful. Please try to take care AND not die of boredom (which was the hardest part for me). Hugs, J.
Just added you to my prayer list hon. I get migraines and every once in a while, they paralyze me to the bed where there can be no light, no noise (ugh).
Now I take the advice of my doctor and allow those around me that can take good care of me. For so long, I was so darn independent like I didn't need anybody (so that no one would disappoint me ). But just for today, I know that I am loved and cared about. I need only accept the love and caring that my HP surrounds me with.
I am glad your church is there to help you. Take excellent care of you. You are richly deserving.
love Maria

I wonder why this happens. My best friend was hit with the same thing you are dealing with right after her first miscarriage. She still gets bouts on and off and it has been 9 years. None are as bad as the first time. She takes "bonnie" or "dramamine" to cope with the nausea. I had a bout of it myself this summer right after I got "involved" with a new man. I almost think it was him! LOL! but the feeling of everything spinning...yuck! WOrse was the not being able to focus on any task at all. I would start something and then be distracted and not able to finish. That was just wierd for me. It passed after about a week and a half.
I am so sorry you are going thru this. How really wonderful that you have a church to depend on!!!What a blessing!! Sending ((((hugs)))) and prayers your way so that your world will stop spinning
