One step forward, one step back

Hello there, her royal dizziness here.  I was so thrilled to have some progress last week after Tuesday's chair right - I woke up on Thursday and was actually DIZZY FREE!!!  That's right, the first day in I-Don't-Know-How-Long that I was 100% without dizziness!  I was over the moon, it felt amazing!  I was still really tired and foggy and struggling with words, etc, but I didn't care, I was so incredibly stoked to have the dizziness gone which made me think the chair must have worked.  The dizzy-freeness lasted through Friday and then crushingly, Saturday morning I woke up as dizzy as can be.

This whole thing is just such an emotional roller coaster, I'm just so grateful I'm such a positive person and don't struggle with depression - I mean, sheesh, I could see how people could easily lose hope.  Despite the setback, I'm choosing to focus on the positive which is THE CHAIR WORKED which means it will work again.  Right Anterior it is!

I get on the chair again this afternoon, so fingers crossed.  I'd actually appreciate prayers and your thoughts for my Dad even more than for myself - he needs it more than me today.  LOVE YOU DAD!!!

Ok, on to the positive.  Had some lovely visitors over the last week, how powerful friendship and laughter can be right now!  I was feeling well enough to go to the movies with Rob on Thursday and my sweet hubbs didn't even complain when I made us sit in the very back row to prevent any dizziness from the moving camera angles.  I know, I know, I'm an old lady. 

And, this may be boring to you, but I'm telling you - these cute little hummingbirds are just making my day.  There was this amazing moment over the weekend where there were actually 5 of them taking turns at the feeder which is a big deal - usually they're a bunch of A-Hole piggies fighting over it as if all the juice is suddenly going to go away - and yet there was this moment of peace where 5 birdies all took turns.  Kindergarten teachers and Nobel Peace Prize winners would be so proud.  I only caught 2 of them with my cell phone, but you can just imagine it, I'm sure.  If you're still reading, that is.  :)  First is a shot of my world right now - Olympics, snuggling with G and watching my hummingbirds. 

And, as always, this whole health issue is just really making me pause and be mindful of the mind game, staying positive and allowing it to just taking it's course rather than fight what IS.  And I credit a certain Mr. Fluffy Wonder for assisting me on that - he does it so well.  Rob caught us mid-session one day.  :)
