So.....dizzy.....

Well...another "war" story to go in the vault. Saturday was an ....eventful..yeah let's use that word....day. About half an hour BEFORE my shift was to end, a puggle came in for a nail trim...no big deal....happens all the time. HA! This dog REALLY didn't want to get them done. He started biting, so we muzzled him and braced ourselves. Some dogs will quiet right down when they get the muzzle on, others....not so much. This one was the latter. He thrashed just at the wrong moment and thrashed right into the side of my head. Well I grinned and bore it to get the stupid thing done, but was in real pain. My ear was all red and I had the worst migraine I have had in years. I got off work, went home and took some pain meds, went to sleep and slept for 13 hours straight...looking back..not the greatest idea ever. When I woke up on Sunday I knew I was in a world of trouble. I was dizzy, nauseated, vision blurry, sensitive to light...all bad signs. I had a 5 hour shift that I couldn't miss so I went in to work. That didn't last long. They took one look at me, filed a report and sent me home.

I went to the dr.s yesterday and lo and behold I have a tear in my eardrum, head trauma, and temporary vertigo. Even as I type this the room is spinning LOL! And to top it all off, Julio had a seizure on the way to the drs. If we aren't the perfect couple when it comes to health I don't know who is. So I am on three medicines for the infection, nausea, and vertigo. I am hoping it gets better by Thursday as that is when I have been given the okay to return to work....so till then...MORE BLOG TIME!
