DiZzY
Today so far I’ve combed Victoria’s hair, drank (or would that be “drunk”?) a glass of water, made half the bed, made a piece of toast that I couldn’t eat, and looked at a photography blog and livingroom drapes online. I also googled “dizzy spells” and stared at the finger marks on the newly painted wall above the couch.
Every time I move a few feet from the couch the world rocks around me. It started at 4 this morning when I turned over in bed and felt like I would fall out of it.
Thankfully there is nothing that absolutely has to be done at the moment. Kiddies are happily watching Berenstain Bears on youtube and variations of The Duck Song on the livingroom floor. They are appalled at their freedom to do so as long as they please. For lunch they are eating cranberry white chocolate chip cookies.
I started to facebook about it. But then that felt so very small. It looks like I want 20 comments saying “praying for you” and “get better soon, Luci”.
You know. There’s that little photo that’s been making its rounds that says, “If you have a problem, face it. Don’t Facebook it.” I (mostly) agree with it.
So yeah. It’s not fun to hear someone’s aches and pains in a public place. And heart problems have better outlets than Facebook, to be sure.
But. Misery does love company.
And I wouldn’t mind if you’d say a prayer for me if you think of it.
I don’t know what’s causing this. I keep trying to get up and see if it has passed, but then the nausea comes and I lie as still as I can again.
We have monthly school cleaning this afternoon and music practice tonight for the memorial service of a dear elderly friend tomorrow. I want to get better.
And while I’m here anyway, I need to say how much you guys (as we would incorrectly say up here in the sticks) brighten my life. I know I stress a lot over my place in the scheme of things online here. But when I think of the color you add to my world I realize what I would miss without you. I love you all.
-from a sincere heart, Luci-

LUCI!!!!! Them dizzy spells are NO GOOD! So I am glad you can rest it away today. You brighten my world also, and THANKS from the bottom of my heart!
my kids think that their mom is dizzy everyday.
but…not in the way that you are experiencing it right now. i am so sorry! sososo glad you said this. so glad. we need each other. we do. and to crowd around when we can and say hey! i’m praying for YOU girlfriend.
big gentle hugs. i love you too. and taking you and your family to Jesus.
Do you have any ginger root or crystilized Ginger. It helps me when I get those inner ear problems. I feel for you as it hits me sometimes too and mine is allergy related. Ragweed etc. Pray that you will soon feel better.
I very occasionally get dizzy spells. I’ve gotten them twice in the past few years. They usually last a day or two, then disappear. I have no idea what causes them. But I know they are miserable. Here’s hoping you are soon back to yourself!
Well, I’m going to say it anyway… I’m praying for you, Luci!
Really, what is worse then a momma that doesn’t feel good? The house goes to pots (feels like) and the children run wild. Hope it’s better soon!
I get those when I ‘leap’ out of bed in the mornings. My hubs thinks its totally ridiculous to have a problem like that. Does that tell you anything about our personalities?:0 I haven’t ‘leaped’ for a few years now and haven’t gotten dizzy either. But I am hoping you will feel better soon. Not fun. Not fun at all!
Mom’s should never get sick, right? Hope you’re feeling better by now.
-You add color to my world too!
Ahh. That does not sound like fun at all. I am sure you would much rather be up and doing. Hope this passes soon. ~ Always enjoy your posts.
@grandmotherlois - I don’t keep ginger on hand. But thanks for the tip.
Monday morning. I’m just now reading this, and I see you posted it on Friday, already. SURE Hope you’re feeling better by now! Anyway, I’m praying for you today!!
And thanks BUNCHES for the bits of color you add to my world!
Have a great day!!
Are you feeling better Luci? It’s not fun to be a sick mom, Hope you are up and around again.
I think that by this long time later you are probably all better! Thankfully!
And I agree…my online friends definitely brighten my world and I miss them when either they or I am not around!
