wow, neebee, I had no experience like yours! Omigosh! That must've been so frightening, gal!
My spinning was "localized," more strictly visual, and lasted no more than five minutes, if that. I have since felt light-headed as I stand, but I'm aware that I'm going to stand, hold onto something, and do it slowly.
It seems I can't walk anywhere in a hurry, I just run out of breath and need to stop, blow out the CO2, and resume truckin'. I get there. It's probably how I'll spend the rest of my life and am becoming resigned to it.
Still, I should go sign up at the gym Vern attends and try aerobics and light workouts with weights. I need to check into that this week.
I'll be going to have blood testing done today and to visit/intrude on my new VA doc, letting her know about this stay in hospital.
I'm not as worried as the "hospitallers" about low BP readings keeping me from taking diuretics like Lasix and Metolazone and the Metoprolol that the VA docs have me taking. I think that my BP will rise today, above 100. Just a feeling. It would make both the docs and myself feel better about resuming these meds.
But for the medicos at the hospital, I'd have still been taking them all along, but they restricted me from them over the course of my incarceration. I've resumed them today, hoping that the addition of a "Mango Belt," a cannabis-infused edible, will aid in my rehabilitation.
I know that smoking's the root cause here. No one who's ever been hooked on smoking will deny that...Hocking, Werner, you guys gotta knock it off, too. I'm trying hard...it's a biotch. No one WANTS to come out and say it, but that's the main reason for my ills. Shame on me!
Cosmic knows, too. Edibles it is, my friend.
Hef's dead, pipes are no longer "sexy." That smoking jacket should be replaced by a simple terry cabana robe.
"Sophistication" is such a scam.

Death by Strange De-Vice
I stood twenty fathoms
under the sea
looking up through my fingers
to the surface rippling
Dappled by light
the beauty of life
my last lungfuls bubbles
rushed up hurriedly
And thought to myself
of the swim to the surface
for a breath-full of life
oh the futility
What I’d done to deserve
this sentence doom
mattered far less
what sank in finally
Inhalations of fume
a poisonous death
was now off of the table
and out of the room

say there say there neebee
Thanks for the vertigo info. When I took my mom in, nobody said anything at all about the treatment you described.
They did do tests that were supposed check the inner ear function, but found nothing that concerned them.
Very informative post my friend.
hooblie:
do they use oil in their spa?
I was just reading the other night about a shaman who self dissolved and left nothing but a puddle of very darkish oil that might have looked something like that.

Never trust Never
Seeing two dogs
upon the floor
waiting for dinner
there has to be more
Climbing the ladder
and breaking it down
lying in wait for
that knock on the door
I’ve always been here before
never trust never
surprised that there’s more
I’ve always thought that I knew
never trust never
there’s got to be more
Speaking my mind
doesn’t always work out
when I was drunk
it might end with a shout
Climbing the walls
used to hang it all out
but when I fell hard
no one helped me back out
They used to say to me
never trust never
someday you will see
they always told me it’s true
but when push comes to shove
you’ll know what to do
Never trust never
never trust never
never trust never you’ll see...

I’m only Leaving in my Mind
I’ve overstayed my welcome here
I should’ve known it long ago
Right after the election
I said some things...
Well I don’t know
I’m sure if you reminded me
I’d find some reason not to go
But wind up leaving anyhow
That’s just the way
the four winds blow
I’ve overdosed on vitriol
and politics like barbital
I’ve overstayed my welcome here
I’m not afraid
to say at all
I’m headed up to Canada
If only in my head because
I’m never really leaving here
With our ashes spread out
everywhere
With three dogs on the windowsill
Their ashes like a bitter pill
An uncle spread in Oregon
We keep up with his only son
and of course we always will
Our latest grief beyond all words
like silence from a mockingbird
I’d rather be annoyed by it
like something we would never quit
now I’ve said it all
Right after the election I knew
some things I said I can’t undo
Life’s bitter poison I have took
so read me like an open book
You always do

If I had wings and I could fly,
I know where I would go.
But right now I'll just sit here so contentedly
And watch the river flow.

Please Mr Mouse!
They took him from the hospital
And drove him down the street
Beep beep beeped their horns
It was so damn indiscreet
He was accosted by a clown
In a polka dotted gown
They put him on a bus
‘Cause he never caused a fuss
Please please please
Won’t you never sleep a wink
He’s a lean mean shutterbuggin’
Photographin’ machine
The hospital was looking for him
All over the town
Please Mr Mouse
Won’t you never sleep a wink
He posted up my photo
at the post office I think
Then they put him on a bus
‘Cause he never caused a fuss
He’s a lean mean shutterbuggin’
Photographin’ machine
Please Mr Mouse
Won’t you never sleep a wink
