Well, I don't think I'm going to get much done this week. Saturday is Miss Calleigh's 1 year birthday party so my plans this week are to work on one area of the house each day. Today I did our bedroom and the upstairs bathroom. Tomorrow I'm hoping to get the living room dusted and picked up and my crafts area organized and get some stuff put away in the totes. I've got stuff a foot high on my craft table right now....
I'm also not getting much done because Mike has been home sick. Friday night I ended up taking him to the ER after he got horribly dizzy, threw up twice, and possibly blacked out. Dr said he had an ear infection, gave him a Z-pack and some Antivert (for the dizziness) pills. He still wasn't any better today so I called all over and finally got him in to our local clinic. As soon as the dr read his symptoms she said that he should NOT have been given an antibiotic because he does not have an ear infection and the Antivert will do nothing unless he wants to sleep really good. What he has is vertigo or BPPV. She took us into another room and had him lay down on his side with his head over the edge of the table. As soon as he did his eyes spun in circles uncontrollably! Apparently microscopic 'stones' have lodged in the semi circular canals in his right ear, disrupting the flow of fluid, thus causing the dizziness. And until those 'stones' dislodge he's going to continue to be dizzy. So, he's already called in for tomorrow and he wants me to hammer him all day long with the manipulations she showed me to try and get those 'stones' to move. So, on top of everything else I need to get done around here before Saturday I also have to try and help him get rid of this dizziness. He never knows when an episode is going to hit either so he's scared to even drive his pickup, let alone the semi. Right now he's out in the garage under a truck (again) rolling around on the creeper, hoping some of that helps as well. Have to love the 'curve balls'!
And we owe our wonderful neighbor big time! Friday the two youngest and Miss Calleigh were home with us and I didn't feel like dragging them to the ER, not knowing how long we'd have to sit and wait. I saw our neighbor's lights on and called. She came right over and watched the kids for us while her hubby stayed home with their little boy. She's also pregnant and due Sept 1st! I tried to pay her when we got home and she refused to take it so I'm going to give them a nice surprise once I know what they're having.......
