Oh. My. God.
First I thought I was dying because two times while I was sleeping I was aware of the spiraling feeling. I thought “I don’t recall anyone describing this in their near death experience. Well, I guess I’m really dying” I was very accepting of my fate. Then the third time it came upon me just as I was waking up. Luckily my little plastic tissue trash can that I keep next to the bed was empty because I had to grab it and puke while I was rushing to the bathroom.
Also, thank god I figured out the freaking corn was the problem that was causing me all that foot/ankle and everything else pain because I could not have hustled to the bathroom if I had woken up stiff and painful after a day of Frosted Flakes and a night of polenta.
To make a long story short, there was spinning, there was puking/dry heaving and I haven’t been outside my bedroom for two days. Today the spinning stopped and was replaced with more of a rocking sea sickness. I managed to keep some food down this evening. I knew I was feeling better when all the food commercials went from nauseating me to making me salivate. I had to decide which food we had in the house would be least offensive should I move too fast and have another puking session. Since I ate that plain rice with two bites of left over salmon 6 hours ago I’m thinking I’m good. Whew
Although, Sunday morning I did puke up refried beans from the night before. Not the worst food to upchuck, btw, very smooth. They weren’t the spicy kind, thank goodness.
I’m hoping that tomorrow I end up feeling as much better as I felt from yesterday to today. But listen, if anyone tells you they suffer from vertigo be very sympathetic. It’s really horrible.
Also, incredibly weird to be in my room for two days in a row. Josh brings me tea, and anything else I ask for. But I haven’t seen the husband for two days. He fell yesterday and Josh took care of him. I hate making Josh responsible for his father. But I am so incredibly thankful that he is here for me right now.
This got me thinking about how when the day comes that I have to live alone I will have to make sure I have backup in case of emergencies, like the last two days.
