Why is the room spinning?

Well, I just spoke with the nice lady that picked me up off the street. She has my bike.

She said the frame is bent from having the front wheel being forced into it. Not sure how bad or what she means. But.. it was my watanabe. :( :(

I also went to wash my hair in the tub today, didnt feel like going through all the aggrivation of showering… and when I bent over, the room started violently spinning.

I stood back up and and went in the living room and tried not to panic.. WTF was that?

I bent over again and the living room SHOOK, then started to spin severly.

After a 40 second google search this is all I can come up with:

BENIGN PAROXYSMAL POSITIONAL VERTIGO

“The most common cause of BPPV in people under age 50 is head injury .”

Anyone else get this? How long did it last? I’m calling my general practictioner as soon as my medical benefits kick in (some time this week!)

It sucks. I can’t even lay down now, or turn my head quickly. uhg.

Seriously folks, can’t I go 12 months without fucking up my shoulder?

I was riding home from Juans Flying Burrito this afternoon, looking at demolished houses and trying to see what businesses were open along Canal St. when a ginormous fucking pothole jumped out in front of me, flipping me over and I landed on my head and shoulder.

Again.

Damnit.

So I spent 7 hours at Charity for them to tell me what I already know: I fucked my collarbone up again.

Nothing “broken” but I did get to see x-rays of how my collarbone is healing. One of the parts healed fine but the other break didn’t heal at all. The ends themselves did but the two ends didn’t fuse together. The doc says that shouldnt be a problem, but that this accident “jostled” the two parts around, so it’s basically going to feel like I broke it again, even though I didnt. (All the trama to that section of my shoulder, but without the actual break! Go me!)

I’m scared to death to go to sleep, because I know it’s going to hurt like a Mo-Fo tomorrow.

Uhg.

Regardless, I’m back in this god damned sling. (Like I’ve never said THAT before! budum crash!)

Uhg. x-rays to come.

sad me

road rash!

Project Runaway

So every Wednesday I go to clover grill to watch the Runway and get a burger. Ok, and to obsess over yet another guy I think is cute and nice and such but is seeing someone else. Uhg. Why do I keep doing this? I keep getting infatuated with guys that are either straight, from out of town, obviouisly not that into me, or married/partnered?

Is this a recurring case of wanting-what-I-can’t-have-itis?

It was like, 4 weeks into the obsessathon when I finally went to make my move… I slying asked him if he ever went to Lafittes for a drink after he got off of work (my next question was going to be “would you like to go get a drink?”) and he dropped the “p” bomb.

“Sometimes. Sometimes my partner and I will stop off on the way home.”

I still go by, just to talk about Project Runway and eat a burger and maybe some Pecan Pie ala mode. (Mmmmm, he makes it gooooooood.) But oh well.
