Sometimes I get up from the couch too quickly, step onto one foot, lose my balance and do some fancy fall; Dale and I get a good laugh from it. It’s nice knowing I’m so amusing, NOT.

Today one of my friends is coming over to take me shopping for clothes. This is alway a good 'pick-me-up.' It’ll be good to get out of the house. I hope I don’t get too dizzy. I’m not going to have the baby’s stroller to use as a walker.

I put some sandles on with about a 1 1/2 inch heel, and I was stumbling around a bit. Dale asked if I could walk in those. I said not really, but I have to look good.

Well the trip to the mall was great. I could only stay there for a short while, though we made it to four stores. In the restroom, I made the mistake of dropping my head down to check under the door to see if the stall was occupied. Not a good idea when you have vertigo. My friend, Nicole, had her baby girl with us, so I was able to push their stroller for stability.

I broke another glass in the evening. I just cannot see very well at all. Dale had to clean up the mess. I guess it’s plastic cups for me from here on out.

We went to a dinner party that was put on by one of Dale’s coworkers. I was a little nervous, but everything was fine. Nobody said anything about my facial paralysis. And I even met a woman who just got over a case of BP. She only had it for three weeks. However, this was her second experience with BP, having had it once before 12 years ago on the other side of her face.

Today I thought I felt numbness on my face, so I thought maybe my face was going to do something different like move again. I looked over at Dale and tried moving the right side of my face. I asked him if he noticed anything different about my face. He said, 'Yeah, the right side doesn’t work.' We both got a good laugh out of that one.

I still feel the same as far as the vertigo goes. If it has improved at all, I certainly cannot tell. I still get the ear pain quite often during the day as well as the night. If I take a Tylenol with codeine as soon as the pain starts, it goes away quickly. However, during the night, I am woken up in major pain, and it takes a while for the pain to subside.

Woke up and I can still feel remnants of the ear pain. There is still no movement of my face. I check the throughout the day by wiggling my nostrils and only the left one ever moves.

There is a squeak in the floor in a high traffic area of our house. Whenever the baby is napping, I try side-stepping that area, and sometimes I nearly miss hitting the wall. Vertigo is kind of like having your body do something, and your head taking a few extra seconds to catch up.

Not much to report. My ear pain has been getting much more frequent.

My baby loves anything that has a smiley face on it. There are some characters on tv, some toys he has, and even one of my get well cards that has a big sun with a happy face on it, that makes him smile and get excited. I wish it was me doing all the smiling.

Still as dizzy as ever. Nothing much to report.
