Time has runnith away once more. Life is full and good. Days have been filled with lots of family entertaining, work (of course), birthday celebrations, child caring, sorting the never ending stuff that finds it’s way to our home…however today I learned a very valuable lesson…BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR…
I took a day’s annual leave so basically because of my working pattern ended up with six days off in a row, which I much enjoyed, so much so that yesterday I was heard saying I didn’t want to go back to work today. Oh how I came to regret that telling for during the night when I rolled over in bed a great dizziness overcame me. Forgotten by morning until you guessed it, when trying to get up I veered across the floor into the en suite door frame in a most undignified manner.
After a cup of coffee I was managing to walk with my head right up, and chin slightly tilted forwards. Rather like a goose. On phoning my she who must be obeyed it was decided that I should not drive with my head positioned like a goose as it would not be safe, and besides being unable to look down is pretty useless in our clinic. And so another day at home has befallen me, though not of my dreams when wishing for a day off, things have improved, now I feel I’ve progressed to walking like a duck. Hopeful to be able to get to work tomorrow I have prepared my calorie counted snack pot. yes it’s that time of year once more.
One unexpected bonus to walking along like a goose is that I have spotted many cobwebs that are usually out of my line of sight…
Having been thinking how I came to end up with this bout of vertigo, could it have been weeding, picking toddler up from floor, then I remembered. I took a bath, and decided to wash my hair so placing my head right down and tucked in to shampoo it under the water level. Never again. It is a decidedly weak point of mine. Lesson learnt the hard way.
Luckily our neighbours saw the funny side of the Easter gift I presented them with. Bunny butt cinnamon biscuits with currants on the side!!
Anyway this typing has been a little test as to how my equilibrium is recovering, and I think I’ve done enough for now.
Until next time, blessings, J. x
