Today I asked what vestibular symptoms should clue me in to cancel an appointment with the vestibular rehabilitation therapist. She said, “Things like not wanting to get out of bed.”
It’s February in Oregon and the rains are in full swing. No one wants to get out of bed.
I think I need to ask my husband to turn on the full spectrum light in the morning when he leaves for work an hour before I do. My own little private sunrise.
That said I love the look of rain, the feel of rain, and the way rain brings Spring on. I wouldn’t live any where else.
And I feel a bit of the retraining my brain stabby pain from doing the tests today. People on the support group all talk about needing to do the exercises but no one discusses the stabby dull ache my skull piece is going to fall out I don’t care if it has titanium mesh to hold it in head pain. I suppose I should ask. After all the support groups are half “is it only me?” Maybe another day when I feel like managing responses. Conversations online need tending. Meanwhile ow.
UPDATE: Having the early riser in the house turn on the full spectrum light like a fake sunrise works.
