Same Song; Just a Different Arrangement on Verse Four!

You may recall I had an appointment to see my ENT doctor on this past Thursday, and I guess that was a good thing, because I had another fall on Wednesday.  However, it was not Vertigo related; it was a stupid accident!

A couple of weeks ago, the office chair I use for quilting, and at the computer, snapped something and went down to the lowest level.  The lever to raise it wouldn't do anything, so I've just been using it like that.  Last Wednesday afternoon I decided to see if I could fix it.  I turned it over on its back to look into the mechanism, and realized it is out of commission for good; started to raise it up to its five roller feet, and it somehow got away from me.  I lost my grip and fell backward from my semi-squatting position.  I hit my head on the upper half of the rim of my right ear on my quilting table on the way to the floor!  You can believe I said "Ouch!"  Then I remembered I had locked the glass front door to be ready for Halloween.  I said, "Self, you have to get up and go unlock that glass door; your neighbor might need to get in to help you,"  I was able to get up and get to the door, which proves it was not Vertigo!   The top part of my ear was badly bruised and turned purple within a few minutes, but didn't bleed, and  of course, my skull right behind the lower part of my ear was sore immediately.

I grabbed an ice pack I keep in the freezer, and laid down about 30 minutes, holding the ice pack to my ear.  I wouldn't let myself go to sleep, and in a bit, felt a little better, even though my right ear (the problem one) is still very sore, and still a little discolored.

My son came early Thursday, and we got all my errands taken care of, had lunch at our favorite place, and then went to ENT doctor for the scheduled appointment.  He had not seen me at all since I had the three vertigo events, so I had typed out a list of everything that had happened the last 2-3 weeks.  I can type much better than I can talk.  I even wrote about my primary doctor changing my meds, and stopping the one from him that seemed to be dropping my BP severely.  He considered it all, and decided to put a tube in my ear to start treatment for the Menier's  Disease.   I'll have to put ear drops in twice a day, and see him once a week for four weeks, and then he will decide what to do more.    I'm still taking the med for mild dizziness as needed, and of course, I still cannot drive; really haven't wanted or needed to.

Hope the next verse of this song is much better!

Last evening I started quilting a bit on the quilt I'm making for a special classmate.  I was just about to start on it again this afternoon when his wife called and said they were in town and wanted to stop by for a few minutes.  I had to grab the quilt and stuff it in the closet right quick; don't want them to know about it until I give it to them!  It is about two-thirds quilted, and very different to anything I've ever done.  Here's a teaser picture; can you figure out anything from this?

Thanks so much for all your prayers and kind thoughts !   Hopefully, there won't be a fifth verse to this saga; only a short chorus!   I have more things to do than go to the doctor!
