I have had dizziness before, but holy moly, this is something else.

I woke up on Friday morning and everything was spinning (or I was spinning, or both) and it has been relentless.

In any case, this has taken me out of commission this weekend (which leaves me feeling very guilty. I feel so bad that I am not there to play with my kids and help my husband, but it is out of my control. This is something that I am working on).

I have spent 85% of my time since Friday morning in bed, if not more.

Yesterday, while my husband and daughter were out together at the salon getting haircuts (I know, super cute) I went into the bathroom to put my hair in a ponytail. The motion of flipping my head back was a huge mistake, triggering a feeling like I cannot even describe; it took me many minutes to be able to crawl from the bathroom into my bedroom, completely dizzy and disoriented, in order to call my parents for help.

This morning, for the first time, I ventured downstairs. It felt nice to be human again, albeit briefly. And even though I could not take part, the highlight of my weekend was most certainly watching my three most favorite people taking part in one of our family’s very favorite activities.

So I can enjoy watching my family and Taylor Swift “Shake it Off”,

while keeping my head completely,

perfectly

still.
