Wow. Look how long it's been since I posted. I am really a slacker, huh?
Okay, in my defense, here's what has happened up until now.
The first day of BlogHer, I woke up dizzy. Convinced it must have been something I drank (or drank too much of) the night before, I went on and enjoyed the conference. Throughout the trip, I kept telling my friends when I was feeling funny in case I died because everyone wants to know the intricate details of my life.
No, I'm not dramatic, hush.
By "funny" I mean, the room is still moving and I'm pretty sure I'm not. People, it was like I was drunk. (No, I wasn't, again, hush.)
I finally chalked it up to my sinuses, or the cleaner they were using in the hotel, or the carpet padding, or a brain tumor. But when I got home, it was still there. One minute I'm fine and then all the sudden I'm dizzy. Here's the weird part, I can look up, down, side-to-side, and it's all good. I have no problem jumping up from a chair or laying back really quickly. So the doctor ruled out vertigo, my thyroid, anemia, and pregnancy, but not a brain tumor.
They want me to go to a neurologist and see if they can figure it out. See, here's the thing. Neurologists are apparently very busy people. Even though they have 15 doctors in their office, you still have to wait TWO WEEKS for them to see you. This damn tumor could be the size of Texas by then! Which I'm sure means it isn't anything serious or they would have rushed me in.
However, I, in typical 'Amo fashion' have enabled myself to find a bright side to this cloud of despair minor annoyance. I have found that taking your three year old into the doctor for a limp that they've had for seven days now and they tell you that he might have a fracture in his 'growth plate' in his teeny little foot with corn-nibblet toes, and that you have to go see an orthopedist to make sure, you tend to forget about your dizziness.
So I guess I'm healed.
Until he gets a cast and then we'll see if tears of guilt make the dizziness better or worse...

UPDATE:
Yes, it's a full-leg cast. Shoot me now.

Dude! I hope everyone gets well. No more dizziness or weird fractures allowed, okay?
you? dramatic?! Pshaw! (me? sarcastic?! No. Way. ;) but i sure hope our widdle deucy doesn't need a cast.. j
Oh that sucks!
Whenever I'm feeling an odd symptom, I tell someone I'm with, just in case they have to explain something to the paramedic while I'm unconscious.
AHHHH! Bless his heart. I would feel super guilty too, even though why would you ever think of that??
Yikes! That cast looks like a lot of extra mommy work to me ... hope he gets better soon.
Great to talk to you again -- I see you went to BlogHer -- was it as fun as Blissdom?
