So yeah, this was fun in September the same day that my step-brother Matt got married I experienced Vertigo. At one in the morning on a Saturday I woke up feeling extremely dizzy like after spinning on one of those rides that plaster you to the wall. I wasn't even able to walk three steps because of how dizzy I was and then I wasn't able to crawl very far after that I felt like I was just spinning. I was a little freaked out because I had never experienced it before so I woke my roommate up and thinking that this wasn't going to change anything soon and I didn't feel like I was able to get up at all by myself, I had her call 911 to go to the hospital it took two people to keep me steady on my feet and then after going down the hall I vomited. But of course it's not like that took away my dizziness. After I got to the hospital I got a MRI and a MRA. And my father showed up soon after I got to the hospital. They gave me an IV and some meds to help me. I had a hard time opening my eyes for any of this and it was horrible to move so I just tried to stay as still as possible. After a couple hours they were going to send me home but first I went to the bathroom and so I had to get in a wheel chair then as I set up I vomited then after transferring to the wheel chair I vomited as I transferred to the toilet I vomited then after transferring back to the wheel chair I vomited, back to the bed I vomited. After all the vomiting they decided to keep me at the hospital for the day which was a good thing because I don't think that I could have taken care of myself for the first 24 hours. I slept a lot and had a bunch of visitors and I went home on Sunday afternoon.
All of this was due to a viral infection in my ear. The meds helped to keep the edge off of the dizziness but I mostly had to just wait for my body to take care of it.I was out of work for a week and a half and I probably shouldn't have gone back at that point but I knew that I couldn't really take any more time off. It took about a month before I felt like myself again. I slept a lot during the month, afterwords I felt like I was a month behind and that it should still be September. Time passed extremely fast for a while but finally I was able to catch up.During this time my brother and his family (that were living in Pennsylvania) came to Spokane for a few days before moving to Tacoma. I was able to hang out with them for a while but I over exerted myself playing with my nieces so the next day wasn't to fun but I felt that it was worth it since I hadn't spent much time with them. Since then I have been more prone o dizziness when I get really tired but I have been mostly good with getting enough sleep.
