good days

So those bad days I wrote about, only 3 of them. I've been feeling fine lately. I even have had the energy to start exercising again - ran 2x and lifted 2x this week already, will run again tomorrow. So who knows why this is all happening, but at least it seems to be over. Although I'm sure I'm jinxing myself by writing about it.

They save everything happens for a reason - I gave my doctor's name to 2 people that I talked to only because I was dizzy. So maybe that's the reason. Although God's sense of humor would not be very funny to me if his idea of a good time is making me dizzy for 5+ months so that I could get 2 other people help. Part of me wonder though if we'll find out that the brain tumor is an issue when I get the follow up MRI in June.

Only time will tell. At least for now I'm just enjoying time with Carolyn outside, exercising, and working. 4 more weeks until Jon is done with work for the summer too. YAY!

dizziness returns

Well, it was a good run while it lasted. But yesterday, the dizziness returned. We'll see how long it lasts to determine if it seems to be cycle related. The really bad part is that the actual dizziness seems to be getting worse. I'm starting to feel less like I'm floating and more like I'm unsteady. I don't know whether the change is good or bad is the sense of diagnosis. But this dizziness is more disruptive to my life. And in reality, this kind of scares me. How do I know how this will continue to change? What if it rapidly changes and something happens to me while I'm home with Carolyn one day? All I can hope is that this is somehow cycle related, which would mean I would only have one more time period like this before Jon finishes for the school year. This is starting to get a little scary again though. Hopefully this will pass soon. Worst case, I anticipate another 10 days or so.

Hopefully playing soccer tomorrow will help me. Or at a minimum, being able to play with Carolyn and Jon outside tomorrow should put me in a better mood. I have to focus on the positive as this dizziness tears apart my world again. Here's to hoping we truly find the answer soon.
