Yesterday started out totally normal; until I spent most of the afternoon in the ER. NOT a fun day but it was basically nothing.
We started out for lunch and a bit of shopping. Went into the restaurant feeling just fine; by the time the server brought our cokes I was so dizzy I couldn't stand. I swear, I looked like every drunk you've ever seen on 'reality tv'. We had the sandwiches packed to go and headed for the ER. A few tests and the answer 'vertigo' came back though the doctor did mention labyrinthitis. Well, hell, I knew that! It's what to do about it. Happily they handed over a prescription for Meclizine and that plus about 18 hours flat on my back seems to have done the trick. At least labyrinthitis sounds like it would be a terrible title for a movie.
Aside from my personal problems, it wasn't a great day in the news. People are arguing that unemployment here may be 18% rather than only 14%. Requests for food stamps are up 250% over 2008. Just sunshine where ever you look.
Speaking of sunshine, it was 74F (23.3C) yesterday breaking the previous record and 17F (8C) above normal. Nice afternoon. Wish I'd been spending it on the patio with a glass of wine. Have a good one.

Since posting this I've been finding out how common it is for people to get labyrinthitis. My brother-in-law, sister-in-law, a friend, a blogger I read; jeez, it's practically like the common cold. Well folks, I feel for all who suffer from this disease and wish you all a speedy and permanent recovery.
My wife often suffers from it after long air travel. In her case it evinces as really severe vertigo. Makes trips sometimes no fun at all.
