This was my Wednesday (Don't be deceived by the cheerful blue "welcome". The red sign, which you can't read very well says "emergency").....I woke up with extreme vertigo and accompanying nausea and it didn't go away. I sent Steve to the mission office on his own and just laid on my bed trying to keep the room from spinning and to not think of food which would bring on more nausea. I researched vertigo (meaning I asked my Google mini) and I also spoke with our mission nurse and it was determined that I should go to the ER to rule out a stroke!!!!! Yikes. So, I called Steve and he left the mission office to drive back up to Anthem (a 25 minute drive) to take me to the nearby emergency room. All this amid the mayhem of a new-arrival / meet your trainer day (Elder Lambson, I need a bike......Elder Lambson, I need an emergency TiWi card issued.......Elder Lambson, here are 10 driver's licenses and driving records to process.......)
We spent four hours in the ER during which I had blood drawn, urine taken, and an EKG, a chest X-ray, a CT of my head - one with out and one with contrast, and an MRI of my head. Everything checked out normal!!!....except for the urine which showed bacteria meaning a urinary tract infection. Oh, and about half-way through my time in emergency, the room stopped spinning. And, I have felt normal ever since! I am on antibiotics for the UTI.
WHAT was all that about?!?!?!?!!! Well, at least I have "before" photos of the inside of my head should I ever need them (perish the thought).
I forgot to post photos of my sister Juli's beautiful front yard flowers in Payson...
Here is an ocatillo blossom up close - this spring, they are especially beautiful. And, below that is my silly, cute little succulent in my front yard. It was hit hard by our February hail storm and here it is, bouncing back with new little buds.
I have been sewing Easter dresses for Lucy and Larkin, thanks to the timely arrival of a box of fabric, notions, and a pattern from Emily on Monday. Even with Wednesday's setback, I am almost finished with both and hope to ship them back on Tuesday. I'll post photos when they are done. With my sewing, I have been enjoying the second season of "Lark Rise to Candleford". I have been in my happy place, for sure!
Glad you didn't have a stroke after all!! Yikes! That *would* be a scary thought indeed!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love those grape hyacinths! Such a pretty little flower.
(The forsythia is also lovely, though to me, they never seem like a spring-y flower, even though they bloom in the spring. I think it's just because their yellow is more of a golden autumn yellow than a bright spring-y yellow. Even so, they are still pretty.)
