the sick, she is a drag

[quesarah]

I've had a virus of some kind since Tuesday evening, which is normally nothing remarkable. However, this one has sent my equilibrium completely off. I lean over to put on my socks and feel like I'm going to fall on my face. Yay.

I had a truly classic visit to the doctor today:

Doctor:(Feels sinuses)
Me: Ow.
Doctor: (feels lymph nodes)
Me: Ow.
Doctor: Yeah, you're sick.

I love her honesty.

Apparently, having congestion in one ear and a progressing infection in the other can cause a sensation of leaning to one side when walking, or of the room spinning. Who knew.
