No updates from scans or doctors

 It's only Monday so will likely hear or see something tomorrow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Today and yesterday skies as a visual of our weather. It's been in the mid to high 60's and low 70's for a week and now it's going to be in the 90's by the weekend. Wonderful.

In other news, woke up this morning to bright clear skies and an allergy attack that morphed into positional vertigo most of the day so far. Can't move quickly, putting my head down or back too far will trigger it. So I've been moving slow and slightly queasy (if I move to fast) all day. I'm chalking it up to allergies this time because it has been cloudy and low pressure the past three or four days and suddenly wind comes up overnight, skies clear and it's going to be exceedingly warm for the rest of the week. Cue sinus blockage, sneezing, itchy eyes and other discomfort including very loud tinnitus last night as I was trying to get to sleep. The last time this happened was when Katie and I were moving from Clairemont to Mira Mesa. I woke up just fine, had one half cup of coffee and the vertigo hit. I couldn't help them move at all. I had to sit in a chair and barely move, giving directions as needed. We thought it was having coffee with mostly sugar and cream that did it on an empty stomach but that wasn't the situation this time.

My first thought was remembering how mom had an embolism no one knew about until she couldn't take her blood pressure meds and it burst. Put her in a coma and she never came out of it. I haven't blacked out, no sudden dizzy spell, no exercise or activity to trigger it. Keeping track of any numbness or change of bodily functions, keeping a list of what I'm eating and drinking, just in case.

So that's all there is for now. I'm going to be making a 'last wishes' post that will be pending until such time as it's needed. It's not legally binding but who knows.
