Debby. I had a bout with that "Menier's Disease?" with the crystals in the ear thing. It's so hard. It did go away though, but made life scary since I was a single mom too and the kids were small. I was just thinking this morning how there was a time I could email my old art teacher and drive over to the campus to have coffee together and talk and see his latest work. Now I could not do that as I cannot drive and can't walk well...everything looks topsy turvey...no depth perception, etc. I would have to have a lot of help and then I would feel embarrassed about it and how I've changed (stupid pride!). But when I read about you longing for your former self, I so understand! I've been praying for you and your children this week. It is so obvious that God brought you into each other's lives. XXXXXOOOOO

Vertigo is a wild experience!! The first time it hit me I was standing by my telephone...and had to just dive for the sofa. The whole world was swirling! One time when it hit I was in Hellertown coming out of the Hellertown Diner. We were really close to an urgent care site in the shopping center. The one on duty asked if it felt like I had "a bozz on"! I said, "I don't know. I've never had enough to drink to give me a buzz." Funny!

They ordered an ambulance to take me to the hospital (of course, I was in my 70s, on meds for heart issues and on a blood thinner. - I could understand the caution.) Eventually the staff diagnosed vertigo. It subsided. But sometimes the head positioning to move the ear crystals around IS needed! I didn't need it - got better without it.

You know, Debby, on Facebook the same posting of the previous time was newly posted - unless it's been corrected already. I saw that this posting was different.

Off to get some sleep now.

Love, Nell Ruch
