I Still Have My Tongue, At Least

I got a phone call while sitting in the coffeeshop, a small voice plaintively saying, mom, I feel terrible, I'm so sick! and then crying. Oh no! And the worst thing was that I couldn't tell which child it was. I asked, and Eliz was quite offended to be mistaken for her sister. I think it was the smallness of the voice that confused me.

So here I am, home again, with a child in her bed reading and falling asleep. Brings me back to my own days of being home, sick with one thing or another, and my mother taking care of me. Watching too much TV. Reading and falling asleep. Kind of a snuggly feeling.

I told the gyn that I was dizzy, more since the surgery, and not blacking-out-type dizzy but rather drunken-sailor type dizzy. She ordered blood tests. Thyroid?

Which would explain my weight loss, though I would think it would be faster.

Does it never end, all this stuff?

I've been really dizzy lately too. No clue why.

Just the other night I barely fought off a bout of that drunken-sailor thing.

Maybe it's a virus! I had labyrithitis once and it was really whirly. Different than what I have now, but nevertheless. maybe.

And Keith, you need to chock up the ol' mobile home since the cinderblocks fell out.
