labyrinthitis

This year has been full of interesting new things.

On Saturday, I went to Rehobeth Beach with Sarah and Dawn. I laid down on the sand, and put a towel over my eyes. When I sat up, my world started spinning. I quickly closed my eyes and laid down again and it only got worse. And scarier. The only reason I didn't go to the ER is because I had just seen Sicko for the 2d time. (I want to move to France.)
Things didn't really improve for me. So, 4 days later/today, I went to the doctor. I had a terrible test called: Dix-Hallpike where they manipulated my head to induce the terrible dizziness.
Turns out I have labyrinthitis, for which vertigo is a major symptom.

It sucks.

Hey, turns out ron was right! I hope you are feeling better. It sounds really scary. And speaking of sicko, I really want to see that now.

That's really scary Andrew ... :(

Don't ever take Airborne. Gave me a nasty UTI.

Sorry, I know that's not really on point - just trying to relate any way I can. :D
