I woke up Thursday with severe dizziness.  So bad slight changes of head
position caused me to vomit.  I called my brother that night to get some
help.  He lives upstairs with his wife and my niece.  They all work
during the day.  I decided to go one more day and see how I felt.  No
better the next day.  I called my boss to tell her things I needed done
in the office.  She was on the phone so I left voicemail.  I said I
needed some advice and was a bit frightened about how sick I was.  Even
using the phone was very difficult.  She called back  and offered to come
out unless I had a reason to not want here here.  

My boss came out (it is a 50 mile drive), called the doctor number on my
Aetna card, discovered the original doctor retired, got the new doctor's
name, called Aetna, fixed my account with the new doctor, drove me to the
doctor, helped me at the doctor, drove me back and stopped at the
pharmacy and took me home.  Driving while feeling like that was very bad.  
my niece was home by then and I explained what was going on and my boss
left.  I told her "I can't imagine what would possess you to do this but
thank you".

Doctor said Labyrinthitis or a small stroke (more likely former).  I am
taking anti vertigo pills (and baby aspirin).  Feeling better slowly by
the day.  I would not wish this on a mortal enemy.  I like the new doctor
so _there_ is a plus and as for my boss; what can I even say.

As for Zak.  My boss said he seems good (she has a degree in animal
nutrition).  He has been crying at odd times the last few days, though,
and worrying me.  He seems perfectly ok otherwise but I am worrying about
his thyroid on top of his kidneys.  An hour or so ago my brother called
and he mentioned he and my niece have seem rabbits on the lawn (a first).  
So maybe that is it.  Anyway, hoping it is nothing worse.  He (Zak) does
not really get that I am not feeling well.  As I said before, I love him
but he can be a bit daft.
