Journaling reads: On August 18th I woke around 5:00 to the bedroom spinning and my eyes not able to stop moving. I couldn’t get out of bed, so just laid there testing my eyesight every few minutes. After a couple of hours I finally woke Steve and asked him to call 911. I knew I wasn’t able to get out of bed; it felt like the absolute worst night of drinking I’d ever had. After being transported to the hospital, they put me through a series of tests and decided to keep me overnight since they weren’t able to come up with a clear diagnosis. I was unable to open my eyes for the entire day due to Nystagmus and the intensity of the overhead lights. I kept a washcloth over them to subdue the intensity of the light on my eyelids. They finally gave me medication around 4:00 that afternoon after they were able to rule out any serious brain injury. By 2:00 a.m. the next day, I could finally open my eyes, but still couldn’t focus on anything due to the Nystagmus. By 1:00 the next day, after seeing a Physical Therapist, they diagnosed Vestibular Neuritis, which just means a virus of my Vestibular Nerve. There’s no explanation as to what caused it since I hadn’t been sick. I worked really hard to get released that afternoon since I got no rest the night before. I was so happy to get home and start my recovery, although I was very scared that maybe this would be the new “norm”. I couldn’t motor around the house on my own; I had to use a walker and Steve had to help me up and down the stairs. I couldn’t shower alone, I couldn’t read, I couldn’t watch t.v., I couldn’t use my computer. My only option was to listen to books for the first week. I couldn’t have company because I couldn’t move my eyes to have a conversation. I started seeing an acupuncturist and with treatment and time, I was finally able to recover after three weeks. So glad to put that chapter to bed.
Oh Beth, I didn't know.
You've been through such a horribly stressful time!
LOVE your page in every single way. Your blending, your photo treatment that reflects what you've been through so well, your vertical compo and those pretty clusters, this is stunning!
Thank you so much for participating in my challenge! ♥︎

Thank you dear friend xx
 
I couldn't figure out the photo but after reading your journaling...it totally makes sense!! YIKES, I'm sorry you experienced this crazy virus but glad to know it was not going to be your norm!! PTL!! Very scary the thoughts of what could be, that's for sure and not being able to do "normal" things without help is a whole another thing I can't imagine!
 
Beth this is an absolutely amazing page what a horrible thing to go through and you have told the story of it so well both in picture and words to me that is what scrapbooking is all about
