Today didn't start off too great. Woke up at 3.48am coz room was spinning. Knew I was in trouble. Tried to block it off by going back to sleep but couldn't. Sleeping on my back didn't help coz room still spinning and neither does sleeping on my left. Finally, sleeping on my right seemed better but can't open my eyes coz it's still spinning. Woke up at 5.15am to drink some warm soy milk but in 5 mins, threw it all out. Went upstairs to wake Sam up at 5.36am and told her I am sick and she needs to find alternative transport to school since I can't drive as I was dizzy. Went back to my room and tried to sleep but threw up 2 more times. Finally, asked Sam to call my friend Emily and asked her what I should do coz I know her husband is a doctor and maybe they can suggest something. Emily told Sam to prop me up and that helped take the dizziness away. Sam had a B day today which means she needs to be in school by 7.40am but couldn't find transportation. Had to call her school to report she will be late and I briefly spoke to the school administrator and told her I wasn't fit to drive as I am dizzy. She said Sam will be excused. Sam finally carpooled with Daniella's mom and left for school at 8am. I took my medication and threw up 1 more time, just couldn't get anything into the stomach. Told Sam to call Dr Tran to come by for house call and give me a jab at 9.30am. Woke up by then and realized room no longer spinning so, quickly texted Sam not to call Dr Tran. Went downstairs to get 2 slices of plain wholemeal bread and a cup of warm soy milk. Took me an hour to finish that 1 slice of bread and Emily called and told me to eat at every 15 min interval and not to rush gobbling down my food. Thanks Em, you're an angel. Finally, went back to sleep till about 1pm. Woke up, showered and came downstairs. Ate 1 more piece of bread and some rice with hot soup. Took my medication, went back to sleep. It has been an exhausting day and I felt weak. But, everything will be ok tomorrow. Praying now for a quick recovery b4 my match this Sunday. Hopefully, no more spinning room tonight. Thanks Sam for handling all the arrangements so well and efficiently and for the sweet note you left on my night stand. Thanks too to Daniella and her mom for coming to the rescue and sending Sam to and from school.
