Going to Chicago today and staying until Sunday. Have tickets for the opera Aida tomorrow and will try the matinee as last time I couldn't stay awake for the evening performance..can't remember which opera it was...:o

Cassie is going to get a much needed bath and haircut while she is at the kennel. Our snow is finally all gone although there is some predicted for Sunday. Weather is so unusual...you don't supposed we ruined our climate do you? :rolleyes:

I'm not a big Super Bowl fan...but am enjoying all the hype in Indianapolis via my kids reports. Son in law working the half time show and is naturally excited about seeing Madonna..fun to see the high wire in the street outside Lucas stadium and am told they've heated the streets so everyone can walk without worrying about snow.

I am not into professional sports...much prefer college football and basketball which brings to mind IU's loss last night...another on the road game. ~sigh

Hugs for the room...especially ginnie. Abbie I'm glad you're some better. :grouphug:

Woke up to beautiful sunshine and the anticipation that I will meet girlfriends for lunch down at the beach!

I'm not into all the Superbowl hype, either... it blows me away that so many people are caught up in it... but then, I kinda understand... as I get caught up in hockey sometimes :)

Unexpected ER trip
 

5 spent the evening in the ER having a brain scan and all of my fluids checked. I was staggering all over my apt. and my head was spinning so that I expectd to faint. Turns out I have acute vertigo, They gave me tqo pills and told me to check in with my doctor bit to come back if zI got worse, Never a dull minite.

How are you feeling today, barbo?

I'm sorry to hear about your scare. I have dealt with residual vertigo on an almost daily basis for years after a concussion. Hopefully the doctors can get to the bottom of it fast in your case. Feel better fast. :hug:

They gave me lorazepam and meclizine - are you familiarwith those?

Yes. Haven't taken either but could probably do with some lorazepam on a daily basis. lol

Did they check your ears, barb? Not got an ear infection have you?

Lara
 

Yes they checked my ears but I goofed. I told the woman who took me for the brain scan that i would like to be weighed (since I am still dieting and haven't been weighed in months) She said to mention it to the nurse who took me out because there is a scale right where you leave - I FORGOT!!

Not sure what you mean, Barb.
You mean you goofed because you didn't get weighed?

Why do you need to be weighed so badly... have you lost a lot of weight recently? Did they check your blood pressure?

How are you actually feeling today? R U OK???

Lara
 

Yes I'm anxious to be weighed. I've gone down 2 jean sizes since 9-11. but haven't been weighed. I am still dealing with the spatial stuff - don't know where my boundaries are when I move. I fall into and out of chairs. When I lay down my head spins like I'm passing out. It's lots of fun. I have an appointment with a different doctor for another problem. Alffe is taking me thank heaven.
