Attacked In The Night, Part II

This is Day Two from the vertigo attack...my entire body, from the top of my head to the bottoms of my feet, hurts and aches. I am exhausted and sleepy as if I have not been asleep since Monday night/Tuesday morning's wee hours. Am up and awake just long enough to take my daily medications, have a sip-o-juice, enter a few words here, then back to bed and soon off to sleep.

The dizziness that accompanies the vertigo attacks is sickening. It is cruel and unusual, and I sometimes think I am being punished for past sins and indiscretions...or wonder is it the sins of my father. I wonder and contemplate this often...

...Yet the dizziness is something that I am having to learn to live with. It stays and lives within me every-damn-day of my life. It is as if I am very truly in an all-out war against this dizziness and disease. Some days are not too bad; some days are worse, and then some days are so bad I just stay in my safe place - where I can't get hurt, won't be harmed, or assumed a drunk; here in my safe place, I will not get stared at as if I was a grotesque creature/person from the Carnival.

I have said enough. My mind and body direct me to get away...

peace, Mario
