The Beginning

I think I started to notice a little something strange around Monday, April 5th.  It wasn't that big of a deal, but enough to get me to notice something wasn't quite right.  I would get just a little bit lightheaded every once in a while.  I honestly thought I had a sinus infection or something like that.  It kept going, but it wasn't enough for me to really worry about it, until.....

It was about 4:15 in the morning a few days after I started getting dizzy.  It was about time for Mandy (the other half of the fabled 1426) and I to finish our shift.  She had known I was feeling a little dizzy on occasion, but this was the first time I think she really noticed it.  We were walking into the district, I may have had a little trouble walking up the steps, I may have tilted to the left a bit and it's possible that I almost fell down.  Anyway...since I was off for the weekend, I assured her that I would be better by Monday.  After all, it's just a cold.  She believed me!  I think it's my sweet smile I threw out at her....

I kind of forgot about it after I took my very generous nap of 2 hours and headed downtown to court at 9AM.  Got done with court and went to lunch with Kat and her son.  Had another little episode, which prompted Kat to "square up" and tell me, "I think you better go to the doctor."  This was really the first time I actually thought about it....mainly because when Kat squares up, she means business, and frankly can be a little scary. 

So I went home and took a nap.
