The Whole Package!

Shortly after posting yesterdays publication it was necessary for me to lay down for what was supposed to be a few minutes "just to help the dizzy go away". I ended up sleeping until 1900 then was back to sleep at 2200.

I am certain this was a result of last P.T. session. My doctor has stated same. But, you see, I have only three visits remaining and I am not willing to sacrifice a damned good theraputic session because it may stir up the pot a couple/few days. K-Lo, the Uber Therapist, has me under his tutelage and I refuse to be some bleeding twit moaning and groaning about side affects. He knows I want the whole package and he damned sure is doing his best to teach me. He reminds me from time to time to breath. Sounds like the advice I have passed on to the family, friends and fellow Survivors. Just one of those things we don't always do with concentration. We breath, yes, but out of necessity. Breathing is something many of us take for granted. It's true. When was the last time you took in a big cleansing breathe through the nose and exhaled slowly through the mouth?
It's fantasticly soothing really. Let me share something that I think is cute. There has been a few times when K-Lo has mistaken the colour of my skin for not breathing...especially this time of year my skin is a deep natural red/light brown. We've laughed everytime he has made this call. Bless his heart.

As an Asthmatic, I am too damned familiar with not being able to breath easy. There have been times when and where I have myself in hospital or emergency department being saved by their staff. With all my heart, I know very well, the last time I was in an emergency state, the hospital's staff saved my life. With none a doubt.

I will be seeing Kind Spirit's in an hour or so for some Occupational Therapy. He who has crossed my path before, contains a wealth of knowledge and really cares for me as a fellow human. Brenda and I have discussed some of his recommendations for the Bath and have concluded that we will take baby steps until all is complete. Am certain this will please the Kind Spirited one.

Meniere's is kicking it up a spell as I am plenty nauseated and sitting here in a cool room and just to perspire. The dizziness is rolling on medium and no, I have not yet taken my medications. Will directly. My left Deaf ear is listening to a locomotive passing me by in my back yard. Odd? My right ear has gone deaf on me twice this morning and continues to be on a low scale for hearing at all. On that note, there are days when I hear very well with this ear, then there are days like yesterday when I have tunnel hearing. Sort of like listening through a tube or straw...

...not that I've ever tried listening through a tube or straw. Just saying.
