"Vertigo"

I have been awake for goodness knows how many days.  Last night, I could feel my body spinning very fast in circles around the room.  Anytime I opened my eyes, I could see the room spinning.  No, I did not drink and nothing is different with my meds.  It is very scary.

I considered calling 911 but I have been hospitalized many times for vertigo and they can never do anything about it.  I haven't had a case of vertigo this severe in a long time.  I remember even as a child seeing my bedroom spin in circles.

So I tried to reschedule the 2nd extermination but they could not do it.  It's a lot of work on my part, and I didn't want to have to be out on busses with electrical storms and dizziness.  But no choice because I am required to be out while they "exterminate"

"Bed bugs"

In an attempt to rid my place of bed bugs I have had the washer dryer running almost non stop for the last 6 days.  You need to dry everything very thoroughly and each load takes approximately 4 hours to dry.

Yesterday was very cold and rainy and I have no car, so I stayed home and watched 8 hours of true crime on investigation discovery.  Fun

I am still "sleeping" on the floor so get very little sleep.  Needing to take the imitrex nearly every day the headaches are devastating.

"The bed bug extermination"

I was only given one morning to prep!  With my physical limits, i did not get everything done.  I was told to wash and dry everything i own, but the dryer takes almost 4 hours to dry one load. Although i have reported it, i'm told there is nothing that can be done unless i want to pay a repairman out of my own money.

So for the last 4 days the washer/dryer have been running constantly.  I have seen 2 dead bugs and one live one, however they are doing treatment 2 in 2 weeks.

Little itchy but nothing like before.  I insisted the 45 year old bed be disposed of.  (I hated that they put that in there in the first place)

Benn "sleeping" on the floor which means i don't sleep much.  In order to get o ff the floor i have to crawl on my knees to a chair, put my hands on the chair and hoist myself up with my arms.

Still having nearly daily "migraines" slash severe headaches but the med i was put on, i can't take because it will make me drowsy 24/7.

"The new place has bed bugs"

So, today and in the a.m. I have to do about 10 to 15 loads of laundry because the washer is small and I need to wash and bag everything.

"luckily" between all the burglaries and looting of the last 8 years, I own practically nothing anymore.

I was told that the exterminators will likely only exterminate the bedroom which does not make much sense to me.  Thank goodness the bed and boxspring were just thrown out, they were put in their by the landlord and I estimate them to be at least 40 years old. 

I hate to get rid of papers, documents because they help to tell my life story, but looks like i'll have to do that.

All the stuff I have been recycling will likely have to b trashed since I have no car to drive the recyclables to the plant.

I was awake for 3 days, but remarkably, I slept, even tho' it was on the floor, lying on  top of 2 comforters.

So, as per usual it has been a pretty joyless ride.
