Oh dear, the dizziness! Sorry to hear it's causing falls! Do the doctors know what's causing it? I'm worried about you!

You're going to have to have someone start following you around videoing you. Your blog views would go way up.

I did kinda the opposite, many moons ago; was in the shower, slipped, turned sideways and fell bass-ackwards, across the toilet and the corner of the vanity.

When things stopped spinning, I felt my head, and my hand came back covered in blood; I yelled for my brother to bring a wad of paper towels, and when he saw what I'd accomplished, he said we're going to the ER.

So I one-handed a pair of sweatpants on, pulled a fleece over my shoulders as best I could while holding pressure on my scalp, kicked into my sandals, and stumbled up the steps and out to the car.

Ended up with 11 staples in my scalp, felt the first four going in due to them hurrying things, and had the nurses laughing madly at my description of the aforementioned incident...

I do hope a cause and fix for the dizziness happens soon. I like middle-age-riot's prediction near the top there.

Please, please get your kids to install some grab bars in bathroom! We all need you safe and well.

Take care, there's better and easier ways to get squeaky clean.

OMG!! Those sudden bouts of vertigo! Sometimes they come when I have looked down at the lower shelf at the grocery store; sometimes while sitting and watching TV (those are scariest 'cause WTF?). Yes get a shower bar, yes be careful, never be far from a wall or a chair!! Don't. Break. A. Hip!! Teach the gg's how to catch you before the ground does!! Please stay upright and healthy!! 🥰

I'm always flaberggasted how MTG could have been elected?
For her brain eclipse this could never occure as she has none.. LOL!

I'm sorry for your «accident» and hope all will come back to normal... Well not that normal but get back to your nice crazyness.

C’mon rapture! Let’s clean this place out. I think I’d like to party with Middle Age Riot - my kind of person.
I’ve had a couple instances of dizziness recently. Very disconcerting. When I careen into the bathroom at 2:00a I use the door knob.
Our mission, as Cleora stated, Don’t break ANYTHING. We cannot let that happen. Ask Thom to look around the house & see what could help. Grab bars are wonderful & reassuring.
Our biggest challenge is to slow down. No more jumping up and taking off. We move “regally” now 😉
Thanks for the thoughts. Thinking of you.

I'm such a dipshit. I had to pee and was in sorta a hurry to get to the bathroom...did a short spin sorta hit the toilet lid and just kept on going..wham on the lid and right into the tub..most of the weight was on my right arm and then after about 3 days I discovered I hurt everywhere. I have all sorts of bars in the bathroom plus one of my friends sent me all sorts of lightened bars... the only way I could have been stopped was glue on my toilet seat...I'll try and get my energy back so I can get the post done by Monday...thanks everyone...

Don't rush yourself, dammit!!!

This ain't a job, yer not on the clock - If you feel you need to post =something=, just give us a quickie on your day. Post Dylan pix, cuss Lumpy for a skeevy rat-bastard, make up a story about MosesMikey in a gimp-mask and ballgag down in Merde-Lardo...

Do take the rest you need brave one!

I hate those impatient bladder rushed sudden spin to sit trips to the toilet! I'm glad you have the bars already. Sadly when one is also fighting with the garments, one doesn't always have a free hand to grab the bars. We'll not discuss how I know that.
I hope you're feeling better by now.

You’ve been in my thoughts even before your amazing tryout act for Cirque de Soleil. Now? Yeah, I’m booping the nose of yellow dog at the top of your blog every day, sometimes twice. The fact my service dog crossed the bridge six months ago is influential, but not the main reason. Extra energies sent through the cauldron. Hope you find them - they are the ones loaded with sparkles. Grey One Talks Sass
