Day 26 update
9333/5000
Inner ear issue has NOT resolved itself. Finally gave in and went to the local Urgent Care a few days ago. (it's sort of half-way between a Primary Care and the Emergency Room. A "this need care now-soonish" vs "OMG DYING!!!") and got officially diagnosed with Benign Positional Vertigo. Gave me a prescription for what I've been calling "fancy dramimine" because I can't remember or pronounce the correct name and a youtube video for an exercise to reposition the crystals in my ears.
Granted, I need to do the exercise more frequently, but it hasn't gone away yet, which is bad. Will call them in the morning for a ENT referral.
Writing has gone surprisingly well, given the circumstances. I suspect that if I had gotten any writing done on more than 1/2 the days I would be much further along. But also that's why I set such a low goal in the first place.
Worked three days in a row, going afternoon/morning/afternoon shift which definitely did not help any issues I've had. But I've got today off, so that will help, hopefully.
And in other body news, my shoulder is hurting again. Yay.
