Sick!

Tim A. Cummins @ 11:15 pm  

Wednesday was a really bad day for me.

Woke up severely dizzy and super nauseated.

Vomited more than any other day in my life.

Feeling better today, but not well. My main symptom is dizziness when I move my head around too drastically.

Went to see the doctor, my friend Dr. Pat Barrington. p

Wasn’t sure about driving. I was glad Kathy could take me.

She said I have Orthostatic hypotension. She took blood pressure measurements when I was laying down, sitting up and standing. There was a 12 point difference. So I have to make sure I drink plenty of water, especially in the morning .
This was my standing reading.

That and a stomach bug. Probably has something to do with the inner ear too. So I should be getting better.

But the medicine seems worse than the condition! See what’s wrong with these pictures. Again, the medicine is supposed to control dizziness.

And you can also ADD a symptom I didn’t have!

Came home to rest.

Hmmm. OUR side has cookies too!
