Sometimes Mondays....

 ... are just a bit off kilter.  Yesterday I woke up with vertigo.  Ugh!  We did manage to go out and drop off our ballots (Fletch drove), but that was it.  I spent all day in bed and then slept 8+ hours last night.  This morning I'm still a bit dizzy (not enough to merit taking a pill which would put me right back in bed).

Until a year ago I had never experienced vertigo (thankfully).  And, in the past year I've had 3 episodes.  

We are scheduled for our second shingles vaccines this morning and I'm hoping I can do a little stitching or knitting at some point today.  Right now though?  I think I'm going to go back to sleep for a little bit (even though I did not take a pill, I'm very, very sleepy).

  1. Here's hoping you feel much better and don't suffer side effects from the shingles vaccine. Vertigo really can make Monday off-kilter!

  2. That's not a good way to start off the week! I hope the extra rest helps. Take it easy!

  3. Sorry about the vertigo, Vera. Have you tried PT for it yet? I've known many people to have really good luck with that route. . . Sending the healing juju your way. XO

  5. Oh, Vera, I'm sorry to hear this. It's scary. Keep us posted, especially if you decide to get your shingles vaxx.
    I've been having spells of feeling dizzy and almost fainting lately. My neuro says it isn't true vertigo. He thinks it's migraine process and due to barometric pressure. So odd. I did NOT sign up for this, whatever it is.

  6. Sorry to hear that. The MIster had an episode like that this weekend that scared me to death. He got dizzy and actually threw up. He had vertigo for a few hours afterwards then felt fine. I was ready to call 911.
