I had a nice wee lie in this morning, for a whole 50 minutes, because I had the Doctor this morning, to check out my dizziness.
I have lived with a dizzy head for years. I’ve always had a kind of out of body experience at different times. I’ve grown used to and rarely mention it. I honestly thought it was either my Varifocal lenses or a low blood sugar due to fasting.
It’s just was what it was….
I didn’t fast in Dubrovnik and it was worse than ever. The world was bouncing for a lot of the week. Hence the trip to the doc.
He carried out some tests.
One was the Hallpike manoeuvre where I sat up on the bed and he had a hand behind my head and neck and moved me to lie down quickly. I felt ok for about 10 seconds until my head started to swim and it’s been swimming ever since 😆
I’ve been diagnosed with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo or BPPV.
I have an appointment for bloods on Tuesday.
I also have an appointment for a n Epley Manoeuvre on 1st November. (There are a lot of manoeuvres in this BPPV world eh?!?)
They said I can’t drive for 48 hours after it.
Its aim is to “reposition ololiths back into the utricles from the posterior semicircular canals”
🤪
It basically involves bending over backwards for a while…. I think that should come easy to me, I’ve done that in every job I’ve had since I started working , jokes!!
In the meantime, I have some Prochlorperazine tablets to help when it’s bad.
I then phoned the Bank of Scotland about my PIN number issue, only to be told I should have been trying it at a Bank of Scotland cash machine….. if only they’d told me that last week, might have helped. 🫣
All of that before work this morning!
Work was crazy busy from start to finish….
I went a walk with Claire and Calaidh when I got home from work. It’s been such a lovely day today.
It was such a lovely walk.
The light is beautiful.
Great chat as usual.
And then…. I moved next door, above the pub for two nights looking after their dog Leo, cat Neville and Cilla the Chincilla, while they are away.
I’m so lucky… I have loads of lovely food that Holly has left me. More food than I could ever eat in two days. Leo is being walked a good few times during the day while I’m at work.
A full on day. Dog walk at 9pm and then bed methinks.
Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
