The Up After the Down

I woke up expecting to be as dizzy as I was the night before...I opened my eyes carefully, sat up even more carefully, so the room wouldn't sway around, like the rocky boat.  It didn't...not even a little.  I was very suprised! I got out of bed and was completely steady on my feet. I felt as "normal" as I could feel. I did my usual things for morning and went on the computer...since I live in South Florida, I was SHOCKED to see that my weather report said it was lightly "SNOWING"...since I am 29 and STILL have NEVER seen snow, I was SO excited that I threw on 2 jackets, gloves, my fuzzy pj pants still on, and my black boots over my fuzzy socks and ran outside...only to find out it was NOT snowing by me!!  LOL!  I was B-U-M-M-E-D, but not suprised...it turned out that it did lightly snow near the beach area, about 15 minutes east.

I was thrilled that it was so cold for the rest of the day!!  The high was 54 degrees!!  I LOVE the cold weather!!  My parents and I went to my FAVORITE restaurant for lunch. Mezes is a Greek restaurant in Pembroke Pines. The food is absolutely delicious...they give warm pita bread with hummus on the table when you walk in, but my Mom and I always order metzesalata (an eggplant spread) to go with the pita too as an appetizer. My parents shared a horitiki salad (it's like a salad without the lettus). I had a chicken souvlaki with extra tzatziki (my favorite yogurt dressing!).  I can't have anything with milk, but for some reason, I can have yogurt and parmegian cheese...thank goodness!  :)

Then we stopped at Target so I could pick up the book "Dear John" by Nickolas Sparks. My sister recommended it, and since it is now a best seller and becoming a major motion picture, I figured, why not? I have been ripping my way through books lately! I also got the Beatles Rock Band...It was rather expensive, but I rarely treat myself to anything, and my Dad and I do play it together, and my Mom enjoys listening to this kind of music SO much more then the other Rock Band music, so it was a "together" gift!  LOL!  It turned out to be WELL worth it!!  We played for QUITE a while!!!  It was REALLY FUN!!  There is so much to unlock!!  The easy level is pretty easy, but the medium level is KILLER!!  LOL! 

My Mom did bring up that because of the way my symptoms come and go...and the way I had the weakness over JUST my right side...and the way it is ALWAYS my right side...makes her think MS...it has made us question that diagnosis more then once. We have asked my neurologist that and he has flat out told us NO...I wonder though...it takes people so long to be diagnosed with that disease because of the remissions they go into...hmmm...

I go to bed thinking again...will tomorrow be another good day??? I hope so...HOPE HOPE HOPE!!!!
