Are You Down With BPPV?

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

That's what I have.  Basically it's rocks in my head.  My mother would agree. 

They did the Epley Maneuver on me to try and cure it, and let me tell you I was about one second from loosing my breakfast in that exam room.  Seriously.  I cried out like a whiney 3 year old when she made me put my head back.  I told her I couldn't.  I broke out in a cold sweat.  For a non invasive and simple looking procedure, it was harrowing.  I can handle pain well, but stomach distress does me in. 

I have to sleep at a 45 degree angle on my back and not move my head too much.  No hair appointments, no tying my shoes, no jarring head movements.  The back part is going to be the problem, I'm a side sleeper with a pillow between my knees.  A recliner would work ok, expect we don't have a recliner.  Do you think it would be a problem if I slept in the bathtub? 

Any way, I'm going to live.  ALSO, NOT. PREGNANT. 

I'm Back from my Brain Vacation

And I'm still a  little woozy. 

I've had vertigo since I woke up from my nap on Sunday.  And it's not very fun.  I went to the doctor on Monday and she said if it didn't get any better that I could probably go to the emergency room and they would want to do a CAT scan.  No, thank you.  One of the perks of doing a lot of people's taxes is that when you need to go to the doctor, we do the work for about 100 of them.  And they are happy to fit you in when you just saved them $5,000 last year in taxes. 

In other news, we've been to the beach:

You can't tell me that's not THE CUTEST BABY YOU HAVE EVER SEEN ON A BEACH.  Go on, just TRY to find a cuter baby on a beach, I dare you. 

My boss let us use his condo in Orange Beach for the weekend of Mother's Day.  It's bigger than our house.  I'm not kidding.  It's on the bay side of the water, so no ocean waves breaking, but they had a lovely pool:

Can't you get that freakin' camera out of my face?  My and Froggy here have got some stuffs to do, woman.

It was a lot of fun, and FREE.  Except for the copious amounts of food and drink we consumed.  As well as the bottle of wine I drank.  Thanks boss!

Let's see, what else is going on?  I went to Arkansas for a few days.  My sister in law had a birthday.  My son has been bitten approximately 274 times at day care.  (Sometimes we get TWO reports a day.)  I've been out of the office a lot at clients', running all over the place, and generally behaving somewhat like a chicken with it's head cut off.  Then there were TV finales and I was glued to the TV for quite a few evenings.  And I've run out of excuses.  Anyway, our picture storing computer is back in business (all of the internet collectively groans) and if you are my flickr friend (and if you aren't why the hell not?? Huh?)  you'll be treated to some of the finest images of what has been going on in our house for the past three months.  Like the hair cut Mr. Cheeks got in March that is still on the camera.   That's thrillin' viewing folks.  Count on it.  If you're nice to me, I'll upload Mr. Cheeks answering the phone at the Courtyard Mariott in his pajamas.
