Sleep, An i-Pod Touch, and Dizziness

I succumbed to the grasps of the slumber, I was and felt safe there in my secret place. What more to say about there. My daughters gave their Dad an I-Pod Touch and it is simply the best stuff I have ever seen or imagined in all my days here. For shits sake, all I need is the phone piece and it would be "flashed!" so **blinged*with*sparkles** and such. This piece of equipment provides me the opportunity to be social. Besides, I really do not need the phone piece. (Don't ask)

I slept for a spell and have woken from slumber and stirred by what, I don't recall. I do remember a startle though, then snap and I've been awake for a few minutes. My bride lays there quietly, as I listened to and counted her respiration's.

As soon as I removed myself from bed, our Dear Abigail, aka My Ting Ting, slid safely into the warm spot where I had slept. Never in my life have I ever loved a non-human species as much as I love Ting Ting. She is an Angel sent by my God, to grow with me and protect me when dealing with the symptoms of Meniere's Disease. My little tiny Ting, is now about forty pounds, runs like a pony and is active as a puppy. Until I have issues with my health or fall, or it is time to call a time out, she is there. I might be outside for ten minutes and if Ting Ting thinks I am getting to much heat, she licks the back of my calf muscles to rush me along and into the lodge.

It is necessary to walk with each step by step and with purpose tonight. I am dizzy at this minute and I am so dizzy that my coordination has been affected. I have bumped into walls that seemed to have moved to obstruct my way. The furniture is at my knee caps and I get hit time and time again. These are nights when it is very necessary to have night lights shine my trail here in our home. I've found myself too many times waving my arm around trying to locate my quad cane. That's scary. I cuss and curse, but I do so to myself. (Then the next day's when I remind my spouse why it is I need these lights. Meniere's Disease has not only taken my hearing, it is also taking my vision. Jimmy, it is so not cool to be damned near deaf and have ill visuals affect one's walk in life too. In the night too. My eyes call a retreat. Good night then.
