Lee's Dizzy Blonde

This is being dicated by Brenda and written by Dennis and/or Betsy while Brenda is trying to recover from a bout of vertigo.  (Brenda just answered the phone so Dennis will add this:  She seems to be doing better this evening than this morning when she had nausea.  Now she is sipping on some ginger ale and staying fairly stationary in the recliner. She developed the vertigo most intensely while on the shuttle to the hospital, but had to return home before the visit. Larry the "shuttle-guy" offerred to take her to the emergency room, but she knew better and returned to the condo to rest.)

Now for Lee:  Lee has had two really good days.  His blood pressure and heart rate are normal.  He says he feels good; has appetite back and can eat.  He is actually enjoying walking for the first time in two and a half weeks. Lee enjoyed his visit from Gaye Dorsey because she brought eleven pictures--one of each new calves!
 
Today has been an amazing turn of events. Lee is now trying to look after me from the hospital by calling Dennis and Betsy and asking them to check on her.  Brenda says this is not the first time she has had vertigo.  It seems that the vertigo comes in times of stress and fatigue.   The "good" thing may be that it forces her to rest.  She says she "anticipates a full recovery soon!"

Brenda says "more later...."
