Labyrinthitis

As much as I wish my post title meant I had been reliving my youth by watching loads of old movies with David Bowie as the Goblin King...alas it is not so.

Instead I have been battling with an inner ear infection for the last week. I do like the name though...Labyrinthitis sounds so much more exciting than inner ear infection.

I thought I had come down with gastro/rotavirus when I started puking and couldn't get out of bed for almost four days...but it is likely that it was all down to the pesky virus making my inner ear munted!

I can now get up and about but feel like I have been on a boat for a month or have had too many wines. The room is spinning and swaying constantly and I cannot concentrate on anything for very long.

Blessing number one is that fortunately I hardly ever get sick, so when I do I get to make the most of my wonderful hubby's concern...and the kids revel in watching almost unlimited dvd's while mummy has another nap.

Blessing number two is that I am not preggie...the first few days felt suspiciously familiar...now that would have thrown a spanner in the works!

Blessing number three...due to being basically unable to eat much for a week I have finally got back to my goal weight...now to keep it off once the hunger kicks back in. I am even comfortably wearing the size ten jeans I had given up for lost.

Hopefully I'llbe back to normal soon...as we have a winter of renovation preparation to do, then a spring of painting and polishing...then a summer of relaxing in our freshly updated home.
