THANK YOU--those prayers and loving thoughts must be helpin

Loved ones--
Okay, it's 8:05 est--and right now there is pressure on the left side of my head but the insane vertigo seems to have eased off for now. I had a bad bout around 11pm--again, flipped over in bed and then my bed started doing sommersaults. I kept my eyes shut, tried to relax and just hung in and waited for it to clear off. I also kept alternating warm and cold compresses to the left side of my head all night.

My supervisor told me to go ahead and call in today, which I did. I had a bowl of ochazuke  soup for breakfast--that's a Japanese comfort food of leftover rice, green tea, nori seaweed, and tiny savory cracker bits--salty and warm and strangely satisfying on an upset tummy--classic in Japan for hangovers.  Whenever I find it in an Asian market I tend to buy up handfuls of those little striped packets.--just ask dear teapriestess .

I am going to go very, very slowly today. I'll rest, take my medicine and warm baths every few hours to keep my muscles relaxed. If anything gets worse I will call Dr K IMMEDIATELY.
I've also told my boss that I will take these days as unpaid leave. Ouch. But I have very few days of sick leave per year and it they are done they must either be unpaid or I have to give up scheduled vacation days--that could affect my ability to go to AWA or Confluence.

So---I'm going to rest now Thank you all so very, very much for the energy.
::hugs::

My eyes are still sort of out of focus but the medications have worked very well. No real idea what the hell brought it on but am relieved it seems to be manageable right now. Thanks, dear ::hugs::
