"If God lived on earth, people would break His windows." ~ Yiddish Proverb
I would like to break His windows today. That is, if dogma is accurate and there is a Heaven and, conversely, a Heavenly Father.
The reasons I would throw stones today has more to do with my health than anything else. I woke with a headache, which has since turned to the beginning stages of a migraine. I didn't feel well yesterday - a bit off. Today, I had to cancel a trip with a friend, all because I don't know if a migraine is starting or not. And my left eyelid is drooping.
Seriously - it's been nearly a year since I had the allergic reaction and lost use of my left side. The use of it is back, but I still have this inner ear and left eye issue. Vestibular neuronitis in my left ear, nystagmus in my eye. Can't a sista get a break here?
By the way, the above photo, while lovely, is what a typical day looks like for me. Most people don't think I have anything wrong. I can walk pretty straight. But, it's kind of like being drunk: I stumble and my path veers a lot. I am fighting hard, here, and I refuse to let it get the best of me. And, the good news is, I CAN recite the alphabet backwards, Officer.
"Man does what he can, the Universe does what it will." ~ Proverb
So, in other words, I can quit my bitching now. Things will turn out as they will and unfold as planned. I just have to get over it.
In better news, it's badminton and bocci ball season soon!
Hi Kimberly~ I love this look! You could be a college professor! :) And glad to see Eric is still around! His James Taylor look plus his wry sense of humor have to give you a lift!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have to keep looking into these health issues. Have you tried a holistic doctor or a GOOD bodyworker at maybe a yoga studio? The left side meridians have to do with emotion... It sounds almost like a mini-stroke, but I'm sure you have had CT scans, etc., and they've determined what has happened. Maybe you need an allergist who will systematically rule out what you're NOT allergic to until you get down to what you ARE. You are so young and beautiful, you can't miss out on these wonderful years! My best energy and prayers go out to you, Love, Margaret
Thank you for your kind words, Margaret! I had an allergic reaction to lisinopril last April 15th. Ugh. I am seeing a fantastic holistic physician and we are working out my multiple food allergies and such. I knew I was allergic to a few, but he found MANY of them. It's nice to finally get some answers to unexplained aches, pains, and the like. Plus, hypothyroidism, which he also discovered, pretty much covers the rest of my symptoms. Working hard to get it together here!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the awesome tips! :) Sending big hugs your way -

Oh, you did know that, when working, I am a college professor, right?? :)
