 Gary should be proud of himself. This is a real winning experience. Let him know that the Traveling Bra applauds him.

Good morning OFF family!!!  BRRRRRRRRRR..reading about all the snow is freezing me to death.  DH & I always check the weather before we  head out to do our morning route so this morning he told me to "bundle up" cause it was in the 40's.  I whined about how cold I was but then got over it...lol.  Now I'm "almost" ashamed of myself!!  I do not envy you all that are getting snow.  It's beautiful and we had some this year but I was happy to see it go!!  Grannylew, I wish could hop in  your daughters suitcase to fly off to that CMA's concert!!!  Lady A??!!!  We enjoy that group so much!!  I just pray your daughter & g'daughter have a safe trip and loads of fun.  Tell them to take plenty of pictures!! 

Something I wanted to run by you all here on the board.  I'm having trouble with dizziness.  I've had low blood pressure dizziness before and this isn't it.  It's inner ear.  I've had it in the past but seldom.  These last 5/6 months, I've had approx. 6 'bouts of it.  This go around I've gone to the Dr. about it 4 times.  He's put me on Zyrtec, Flounase nose spray, and Friday, he also added 2 rounds of Zpac antibiotic.  I'm beginning to get worried that it might be something other than fluid on my ears??!!  Anybody ever have this problem?  After sitting for a while, when I get up I stagger like a drunk.  I can NOT lie flat....oh my Lord!!  I get sSOOOOO dizzy and nauseous.  Last night while we were  lyingg in bed talking, I turned my head to the right and I honestly felt like the pupils of my eyes were twirling!!!!  I shut my eyes and then got sick.  Opened them again and twirling!!  Finally it let up.  I'm SOOO tired of this.
Any suggestions?? 

Cindy

Dear Cindy,
I was diagnosed with Mennier's disease and you just described what I have to deal with when I have my attacks. Google it.

Things to correct it: over the counter antivert...take one a night before you go to bed.
Lay off the salt and if you drink soda stop.

Looks for signs before you have an attack, sometimes it's ringing in the ears or a high pitch sound or things start tilting on you.

When you get dizzy lay down and try to stay calm.

I would go see an ENT doc ASAP.
Usually with my attacks I'm still and things are spinning all around me. If you indeed get diagnosed with Mennier's tell your family and friends so they are aware of your medical condition. Get dizzy, lie down even if your in a public place. Tell people you are all right just dizzy and you need to sit or lie down and it will pass in a few minutes. Embarrassing? Yes but it's better than falling and hitting your head, or breaking your hip.

Cindy,
I've had the exact same probelem for several months too. Right down to the twirling eyeballs. This happens several times each day.

If I tilt my head to get in a cupboard - oopsy - over I go. Reaching up to kiss my hubby sends me spinning. Not in a good way either.

I haven't gone to get it checked thoroughly. When I mentioned it to the doctor last month, he said we needed to check out my neck for some sort of nerve problem. 

'Some day' I'll go in to get poked, prodded and xrayed. Just not in the mood right now.

Take care
Annette

Morning Off
Greetings from COLD  Owosso!   Its a pretty day here sunshine on the newly refreshed white snow   but I don't want snow!   I want warm! Soft breezes  Those soft sweet breezes only around in the spring. I sound like a whiny kid don't I?  Of course I am the only one here who wants spring!    
We have a shrink session with  Bugs this morning.  I am beginning to believe it is more physical abuse and  terrorizing the child than sexual abuse.  we shall see.   Need to do some major grocery shopping today then some actual cooking,   We can't take our little charge shopping locally here as she is a local child and the court wants us to keep her location unknown right now so off we go to Lansing I guess as she is all excited about sopping!   She needs to make Ste some cookies!  I planned on leaving her  home with angel Mary  but she wants to go so off to  distant places  I guess.   That's OK I
get to go to a different restaurant than we have here in Owosso.   Cheddars I think.
 prayers going up from our house to all of yours.
 I hope everyone has a great day

Hi Debbie and OFF family,
Debbie, I'm happy to say the sun is shining in on my window here at work, no snow but it's cold outside, my hands are still warming up...can't wait til Spring!

My weekend was quiet (we don't have a computer at home, computer's to me are work but one of these days I'll probably get a laptop) Did some walking and I baby sat Holly for a few hours last night while the boys played poker. Mommy Amanda had to work the 3-11 shift and the night before she got mandated to do a double shift so she hardly had any sleep for her Sunday shift. She will be extra tired today. I told her next time she was mandated, I would come and pick up Holly and take her to my house so she could have a solid 6 hour sleep. Oh well the money is good when your mandated for the weekend for nurses aides.

I'm going to try and do spin class tonight after work. I'm still fighting this pain in my tummy and I know they are from adhesion's again. By the end of my shift I'm just ready to go home and rest. Maybe instead I'll just do a workout in the pool by myself and stay for a half hour of water aerobics. I gotta stop being a whimp! LOL

Today at work we start our Weight Loss Challenge they are having for our Wellness Program. I'm team leader and our Team is called Positive Changes. Now I gotta scoot and go weigh in.
Over 300 people are in the weight loss challenge at work. Hugs and prayers to all in need. Have a great day and be happy! Debbie

Good morning Debbie and everyone.....

I missed you all yesterday. Just couldn't find the time to get here. So much going on around here....LOL

Not much planned today. I do need to get a doctor appointment set up somewhere. Probably at the clinic about a 1/2 block away. The hospital is one block down and across the street.

Going to run errands with my daughter today. Of course play with Gracie. We already played 3 games of  Chutes and  Ladders this morning!! Nic is at school and then off to work.

Have a wonderful day everyone!!!

Prayers for those in need.

Love and hugs to all....connie d
