THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF LIFE'S UPS AND DOWNS.
YES!
This IS an official PROGRESS REPORT because I did manage to get some actual writing done this past week!😀
I worked on what will eventually be the next chapter of my SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL.
Counting the Prologue as 0, Chapter 28 got started (but remains unfinished as I post this) and I'm already well over 50,000+ words into the overall manuscript.
Unfortunately the work is slow for obvious reasons, hence not going back to tackle the more difficult SHERLOCK HOLMES SHORT STORY yet, but the fact that I got any writing done this past week at all is cause to celebrate because the medical news at best is mixed. 😕
Medically, everything is fine heart💓 wise.
However, and you knew there was one coming 😉, the earliest I could get an appointment to see an Ear Specialist to figure out what is going on in regards to my balance/vertigo/dizziness or whatever the actual problem is was DECEMBER 21!
That means that I am still not officially cleared to drive or do anything other than stay home and continue on the road to recovery the best I can.
At the moment it still only bothers me whenever I go to lay down or try to get up again, and thankfully some instances are less noticeable than others, if they pester me at all.
Yet the fact that I'm still having this issue to begin with is cause for concern.
The very first time (October 25) it was like trying to walk across the deck of a ship during a bad storm at sea.
Since then, instances are more like I'm trying to go in one direction while the rest of the world wants to head the opposite way.
I had one brief and totally unexpected episode November 3, but it passed after sitting down for a few minutes.
Every occurrence since then (so far) has just been of the getting in and out of bed variety.
Yet no matter when and of what variety, I have never been nauseous, experienced room spinning, no headache(s), no double or blurry vision, and I haven't fallen and/or lost consciousness either.
Guess I will just have to keep taking this one day at a time until I either get better or get answers.
With that in mind, take care.
STAY SAFE!😷
And I'll see you around the Internet, because I still have to write Autumn "the Puppy's" Memorial for The Free Choice E-zine.
