A Dizzy Blonde That is Sick in The Head

The title of this blog comes lovingly from my husband. The sad part is....it is very true today.

I have been diagnosed with labyrinthitis and vestibular neuritis. Basically I have an inner ear infection that is causing incredible dizziness, lightheadedness and nausea. I contracted this virus due to someone I was around had a viral infection and my body took it in and deposited it into my inner ear. The plus side is that I am not contagious to anyone else. The down side to this is that it could last up until 6 weeks. I am taking my medication and praying hard.

As most of you know I have a big weekend coming up. The Breast Cancer 3-Day. I have full intentions to walk and finish this journey.

***A comical sidenote: the doctor says it is only a matter of when, not if, that I will faint at some point due to this diagnosis. I find this comical only b/c I know it is coming and they are so definitive about it. Thankfully I will know it is coming so I will brace myself and hopefully not be alone. :)
