► What a week. My vertigo has been in full force the past couple of days, and yesterday morning I had a surprise when I awoke to discover my neck and shoulder in excruciating pain. Seems I aggravated my old grade 8 high jump injury, the one that snapped my neck pinching a nerve in my shoulder and partially paralyzing my left arm. My arm was ( Read more... )

► ...and the current vertigo bout continues. I really sincerely hope this isn't going to turn into a two month ordeal like I had last spring. This morning I seemed all right, but then I mostly stayed in bed watching DVDs so I didn't move much. That all changed in the afternoon when between sitting at the computer and moving around the apartment ( Read more... )

► Wizard World Ohio is over and John's back home. He sent me a scan of my Josie (from Josie and the PussycatsDan Parent. I think it's swell!

► **sigh** It seems the mysterious vertigo I had earlier this year has returned. Yesterday when Dad was finally driving me back to my apartment after our outing I suddenly had a feeling of falling while sitting in the moving car. The sensation just suddenly overtook me and I was light headed and unbalanced for a few minutes. I chalked it up to ( Read more... )

► I'm definitely feeling a lot better this weekend, as most of the flu or whatever it was that I have has worked itself out of my system. That said, I still have sinus congestion and I occasionally get overcome with fatigue and need to lay down. The point remains, however, that I am better ( Read more... )

► This hasn't been a fun week. Late Monday afternoon I started feeling rundown and had developed a sore throat. By Tuesday morning my sore throat had worsened and I was definitely sick. While I suppose it could just be an aggressive cold, I seem to have the flu this week, with body aches, chills, and fever. Not having any energy I've spent ( Read more... )

► Ha, so much for getting ahead paying my credit card off! Last week my friend John linked me to a pretty neat drawing of Batgirl on Ebay. The drawing is roughly 11" x 17" and inked with detailed backgrounds. The artist is named Leo and the seller is ComiConArt, the art dealer I won and bought a shitload of drawings from last year on Ebay. It' ( Read more... )

► For the past few days I've had an unusual sore throat. Normally a sore throat means itchy and scratchy pain, but this time I don't have that. Instead the pain feels more like a crushing pain, as if someone is digging their fingers into the sides of my windpipe. I haven't been able to tell if this is a physical pain caused by eating something ( Read more... )

► I was supposed to go out with Dad tomorrow for our weekly "get Derek out of the apartment and pick up groceries" get together. Dad called me earlier this evening and said he was going to be going to my grandmother's early in the morning and paint the front deck at her house, and would pick me up in the afternoon. I said that was fine ( Read more... )

► I'm feeling more than a bit under the weather today, mostly, I suspect, because of the cold and damp weather. Also the bags of Peanut M&Ms I ate over the weekend probably didn't help... It just seems to be a mild case of gastroenteritis, headache, chills, and general malaise. That said, I felt worst around midday, and actually have been feeling ( Read more... )
