So now the waiting game begins
There was no improvement in my dizziness over the weekend. So I had to go back in to the doctor today. He still feels that it is an inner ear infection and that the pills just need more time to work. (Hello? The pills did NOTHING except make me extremely drowsy.) However, he also drew blood to rule out the possibility of diabetes and anemia because I have a history of diabetes in my family and I was anemic as a child. I have long suspected that I have something like this but I always assumed it was hypoglycemia, the other end of the spectrum, because I always get shaky when I don't eat within a couple of hours.

So at least now I'll know. One way or another.

And can I just say that getting blood drawn is very icky? I closed my eyes so I didn't have to see it, but I could hear... never mind... you don't want to know.

I find out Wednesday what the results of the blood test are. If there's nothing abnormal, then I go to an ear, nose and throat specialist.

In between then and now I'm sure I'll be freaking out, but I plan on keeping myself relatively busy to avoid the complete wigout. For instance, tonight we are going to take my mother-in-law to dinner for her birthday. Tomorrow I am going to go in to work, even though the doctor said I didn't have to, just so I can keep busy during the day. Then tomorrow night I'm going to see Jason Mraz perform acoustic. He was amazing when he came in the Fall with a full band, so I'm hoping that he doesn't lose that coolness when it's just him.

Oh, and of course, there's the Fantasia/Diana faceoff tomorrow night. Except oh yeah, I don't care. Much.
