First off, Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans! Hope you’ve had a nice day, hopefully with good food and friends/family. My day was one of those good and bad sorta things. Good Thing Love got up early this morning and did the 5k Turkey Trot. It’s a huge race they do in Clearwater (like 15,000…

Recent Days Recap
Lots of things going on lately so I haven’t had a chance to sit down and write a real entry again. So, as usual, here’s a recap. Anniversary Last week was the 14th anniversary of Love and I being together. Aw… Seriously though, fourteen years! Holy cow, that’s a long time. One of these years…
Lost Tuesday
Poor Love was extremely sick yesterday. I was out at the post office and the supermarket picking up dinner when he got home after work. He proceeded to vomit pretty much non-stop for the next two hours. It was awful. Finally, around 7:30pm he finished being sick and pretty much passed out in bed and…
Tilt Table Results
Briefly, because I need to get to bed, Love had his tilt table test. I thought it was going to be multiple movements, crazy angles, etc., but it was just them strapping him to a table then tilting it to 90 degrees to simulate standing. The idea is that people tend to lock their knees…
Continuing Vertigo Saga
Love was at the Neurologist on the 20th again to see if his increase in migraine meds helped. It hasn’t. So now the neuro isn’t even sure it is migraines and wants to try a few other things. First up is a tilt table test with a cardiologist. It was originally scheduled for last Thursday…
A Picture Is Worth 1,000 Words
…but I’m chatty, so here’s pictures AND words. Mom’s birthday was last Wednesday the 8th, and we were going to get together at my sister’s on Saturday for a birthday party but Mom wasn’t feeling well, so we did it on Sunday instead. My sister had some technical problems with the grill (i.e. it didn’t…
Love’s Neurologist – Appointment #2
Love had his second appointment with the neurologist yesterday; a follow-up to his first one to see how his new migraine medication was working. He told the doctor about all the crappy side effects of the Topamax and how miserable it was making him, but that he hadn’t experienced any of the dizzy spells since…
Love’s Neurologist Appointment
This entry was actually started two days ago and has been sitting as a draft. Didn’t get a chance to update on Love’s appointment with the neurologist last Thursday. As a recap, a little over a year ago now (February 2011), he started getting what he thought was “vertigo.” He was getting dizzy, throwing up…
4th Week of August
This August is really long. It has five weeks in it. Today is the 4th Monday of the month and there’s another one next Monday. Odd. So I’m finally on the mend. My cold is definitely winding down. My nose and upper lip are healing up (they cracked and scaled from all the nose-blowing) and…
Love’s Dr Appt Today; My Dr Appt Tomorrow
Busy start to the week. Today, Love has an appointment with an ENT and tomorrow, I go back to the gynecologist. Love’s appointment is with a specialist about his ever-continuing vertigo problems. Started back in like February and treated it with decongestants and antibiotics and it got better for a few months. Then, it came…
