dizzy up the girl
10pts if you know what band I just referenced.
Anyhoo. I woke up last wednesday, crawled out of bed and promptly went careening into a wall. Oof. No balance. Typical with a lack of sleep. I'll shake it off. On my way to the bathroom I ran into one, two, and three walls. Come on body, wake up. My body did not wake up and I continued to wobble and teeter my way to the train, then work and home again. I figured it was a one time thing and would go away. Wrongo! I woke up the next morning much the same, but again continued with my day, praying it would just magically go away. That's when the nausea kicked in. Hooray!
So I called out of work on Friday and scheduled an emergency visit with my doctor, telling them I had severe dizziness, nausea, and vomiting with a mild fever. Sorry if that was a bit too graphic for anyone, but yeah. They squeezed me in and diagnosed me within minutes.
I have Labyrinthitis.
Me: I am diseased
Roe: No you are cheeesed!
Me: I have labyrinthitis
Roe: ...so you have david bowie's package growing all over your body?
Roe: or are you just turning into david bowie?
Great, this is some sort of joke.
A co-worker sent home an envelope stuffed with printouts of difficult mazes -- or wait for it, Labyrinths. She also sent me an email with this little gem.
At least my disease has a cool name?
PS: Labyrinthitis is actually a virus that causes an infection in the inner ear that throws off balance. The doctor gave me an injection of antibiotics (since I couldn't keep anything down) and a prescription for meclizine (fondly known as dizzy pills).
PPS: I actually love Labyrinth and David Bowie in all his too tight pants glory.
That is all.
