Doctor Visit

Last week I had a horrible infection in my throat but didn't think a whole lot about it. Last Tuesday I had taken some nasty cough syrup before I had to go to school. I was sitting in class and was fine until the end of first period. I started to get really dizzy. Second period rolled around and I was feeling really weird. It ended up fading away and I didn't think anything about it. I had to stay home from school both Thursday and Friday. Then on Saturday I pushed myself a little too much and had to stay home from church Sunday. Monday rolled around and around 3 o' clock I started to get dizzy again. It was bizarre. I was dizzy for 5 hours and then it faded away. Yesterday I woke up and around 9 o' clock I was dizzy and then it lasted all day.
My parents have wanted me to get some routine check-ups done before my insurance runs out and I'm glad the appointment was so close to these dizzy spells. Today I went to a place in Orem and Dr. Ogden asked a lot of questions that I can't even remember. She said my blood pressure is just fine but I have Bronchitis settling in my chest from last week. After a few tests (and being extremely dizzy) to see my response she said it was probably a middle ear problem. She said there was some fluid in my right ear that is probably contributing to the problem. I got some antibiotics for my Bronchitis.
Apparently I'm on house arrest for today and tomorrow to monitor me. Dr. Ogden said it's not normal for a 17 year old to have the symptoms I have. I agree with her. It's been really strange the past three days. I have the bouts of dizziness and after a really strong spell I'm plum exhausted and it's rather difficult to hold a conversation because I'm mentally winded.
When we got home (Dad, Hope, and I) I ate some lunch and then at 1 Mom, Dad, and Faith left before they told me to take a nap. I did. It was a wonderful 3 hour nap and I feel a little better even though the dizziness is attacking even as I type this.
So the upside of today: it's sunny, it's March, and I'm getting new lenses for my glasses!! I could never see properly with the perscription I had gotten about a year ago. Dad also rented Life as we Know it for me.
The downside of today: I love being home, but being specifically told to stay home is hard. I also will most likely not be able to go to school tomorrow and I can't afford to miss tomorrow as I have 2 tests and a project to finish for Monday. I also can't drive until I've had 24 hours free of being dizzy. My tummy hurts :(

So that was my weekend and today. I hope you are doing better than I am :)
