So yesterday, I woke up after getting only 3 hours of sleep. I guess that afternoon nap on Tuesday affected me after all. When I got up, I could barely stay standing up, but I needed to get ready for work to go to training. I got in the shower, got dressed, did my hair and make up without falling over. By that point, SOME of the dizziness had subsided, but I was still dizzier than usual. I decided to just drive myself to work anyway because I didn't make poor Bryan and Kiernan wake up just to take me to Ogden at 7:00 AM. The drive was fine. At one point, I thought I was losing it, as I could feel the car going off the road, and I steer back onto it. I was about ready to pull over thinking it was from my dizziness, when I looked at the trees and realized that it was actually the wind. The trees were bending almost halfway over, so it was definitely the wind.
I was dizzy all throughout the day at work, and then I drove home after promising my "Ogden Mom" (The secretary for our department, sweetest lady ever) that I would e-mail her when I got home. I did do that by the way, I try my best to keep my promises :)
I decided to go to bed really early in the hopes that it would help my dizziness. I went to bed at 9:30 PM (yes, you did read that right), and woke up at 6:30 AM. Hah...yeah it got worse. I should have asked for a ride yesterday for today's meeting, but I figured the dizziness would get better after sleeping it off a bit. No dice. I had to lay down about every 10 minutes just to be able to keep getting ready for work. I woke up my husband (as I did warn him the night before that I MIGHT need him to take me to work), and asked him to take me to work. Thank heavens he was good about it (not that I expected any different, I just felt really guilty making him get up for MY job). We got Kiernan up and they went with me to Ogden to go to work. I had have the seat reclining, ate some bread, had some water on the car ride up there. That seemed to help a bit. Then throughout the day, if I just rested my head on my hands somehow, the dizziness wasn't so bad. But every time I stood up, it came right back, I seriously couldn't even attempt to walk in a straight line. By the afternoon, something had made me really mad, I'm not sure what anymore, and that seemed to make my dizziness go away...of all things. So maybe I should just get mad every time I get dizzy?
I've been fine since then in terms of dizziness. I'm still going to go to bed relatively early (10:45 is early right?) to get the rest for work tomorrow. I have a ride tomorrow (thanks to Ogden mom!), so that will work out fine and I won't be putting myself or others in danger on the road.
In other news, the tenderness of the incisions has completely gone away. So, it honestly is a lot less noticable now that I have implants in my head. I can still feel exactly where they are, and could touch it immediately if you asked me where it was, but it's not so...prominent.
And for your viewing pleasure, the scar on my left ear. I haven't been able to find the camera so you'll have to wait for the right ear. I'll then post both ears so you can see if there's any difference between the two.
