vertigo

Oh, hope you never get hit by it. I had my worst attack on waking this morning. You go into a spin in which there's no apparent end in sight to recover from. All equilibrium vanishes - the torque of the left side of your brain combats the accelerated motion of the right and you do a free fall that makes your heart pound harder than ever before.
And then a few moments later....you are just fine.

Sorry about that, Phil. I'll leave you with one of my favorite Vertigo quotes, to cheer you up.

"It works on the principle of the cantilevered bridge."

Happy Valentine's Day, dear friend.

Thanks willow. Amazing...my inner ear works on the principle of the cantilevered bridge!

The vibes worked, G.
I made it through the night. :)

My wife gets it, as did my father. The inability of the other to help is most frustrating.
