I wish House was my doctor.
Oct. 1st, 2005 12:57 amI went to that doctor's appointment today.
So here's the story, basically. The past couple of months I've been having these really weird... dizzy spells I guess you could call them. I'd just be sitting there, and all of a sudden my vision would slant horribly down and to the right, and I could hear and feel a buzzing in the back of my head. And then I'd be really dizzy for a good five minutes. It happened once while I was driving (scared my sister something terrible), and it happened once when I was walking on campus. I was about three feet away from a wall, and it happened, and I didn't even realize I was staggering towards the wall until I hit it. It scared me a bit, especially that last instance. I've also been having more headaches of late. I'm trying not to be panicky, you know, because I am very much that way, but I still went to the doctors to get it checked out.
She was confused, but concerned. I did some neurological tests in the room, such as walk in a straight line, stick your tongue out left and right, follow the light with your eyes, etc. All that, and reflexes, normal.
Long story short, I'm having a blood test tomorrow morning, and a CAT scan on my brain next Friday. I'm... I don't know. I really don't like blood tests; I've passed out on 4 out of the 6 that I've had, so I'm nervous about that tomorrow morning. The CAT scan is just to be safe, I guess, but still, you know. My sister is really distraught -- when the doctors found the lump in my mom's chest, they said it should be fine, but it turned out she had breast cancer. So, I'm just, I don't know, just trying to at least put on a brave face for her sake, and just take this. Whatever happens happens, and there's nothing I can do about it. So... that's that.
My dad is a huuuge fan of Firefly, so we saw Serenity tonight. I've only seen bits and pieces of the episodes, but I LOVED the movie! The last part with River and the things and the yeah. Really, really awesome.
I'm not exactly feeling up to par. It's been a day. So it's time to sleep.
