seems to be the only disease I have... that and some kind of middle ear or inner ear viral infection that is causing all this dizziness. All other neurological tests seemed to be just fine - I just can't stand up with my eyes closed - I fall right over. I go back tomorrow for a bit of bloodwork just to be sure. But generally he told me I'm a little stressed out, gave me a small dosage of what boiled down to be some kind of mild tranquilizer (anti-stress medication, is what he called it), and told me to get some rest. HA. SO there ya have it. No brain tumors, no aneurisms, no strange fatal diseases. Just overworked. Hm. SOOOOO glad I am on vacation as of this week... it's a desperately needed month off. Mom, I now understand why you're so tired all the time. Teaching is HARD. It's not the class time that wears you out, it's all the time spent outside of class, the paperwork, the planning, the organization... and when you're working without textbooks or materials... yikes!! An ounce of creativity is helpful, and thank GOD for the internet (aside from giving scary medical diagnoses, it also has valuable teaching resources). Oh poop. I'm just whining now. I'll stop.
