The last week or so I’ve been sick. Nothing too wild, but I’ve been dizzy for several days now, to the point where two nights this week I could not even stay awake. Originally I thought it was just innocuous but then I couldn’t even keep my eyes open. My mother-in-law was worried about my blood pressure, but my first thought was that I was too young. I’m only 33, but as a friend pointed out when she saw me hobbling around the room we’re not that young. We think we are, but we’re getting older. Yesterday the nurse at my doctor’s office said I better get in there today. After he took my blood pressure and checked me out, he told me I have Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. Sounds scary eh?

This is what I thought I had before people began to scare me. It’s called "ear rocks"! Means I got rocks in my head! No seriously, they’re lose calcium deposits that haven’t been dissolved back into my system. He gave me some meds and told me to hope it goes away within two weeks. If it doesn’t, I gotta go back. Just one more reminder that we’re all mortal.
