I totally forgot to blog about this! Sorry Jon... you really are important!
Jon came home from work early on Tuesday feeling really dizzy. He said he all of the sudden felt like the world was spinning and he was thinking it was just something going on with his head. So he shook his head and he said that made it a LOT worse. Driving home was an adventure for him.
The next day he still wasn't feeling great and he noticed something going on in his leg. He was thinking maybe a blood clot and that was causing him to feel lightheaded. We're a little paranoid of blood clots, so after talking to the dr., Jon went in to the ER. He figured he'd better get things figured out since he was going to be driving down to San Antonio to pick me up from the airport that night.
They did a blood test and no clot. They figured it was just a muscle strain and the dizziness was coming from Vertigo.
So Jon got some prescription strength motion sickness pills and some xanax for anxiety caused by feeling dizzy (I think... not exactly sure why the xanax...). We have no idea if this will last for days or weeks or more. Hopefully no longer than a week or so!
Until then we'll be taking it easy around here (moving his head a lot can bring on or worsen an attack of dizziness) and I'll be doing a bit more driving.
