Let me start with the results: I'm not completely better, but
I'm less dizzy than I was and I have some pills that help. The
EKG and CAT scan showed nothing interesting. I have referrals to
ENT and neurologist, but have not yet phoned to find out whether
those specialists have sliding fee scales I can afford. Yesterday
and today were pretty much used up recovering from the seventeen-hour
ER adventure -- even feeling less dizzy, I was too damned tired out
from such a long day/night to be able to do much else.

Anyhow, I guess the next big question is whether, with the
meclizine, I'm doing well enough to feel safe driving significant
distances. And the question after that is whether the neurologist
and ENT doc have sliding fee scales.
At least I spent Tuesday afternoon in air conditioning, and by
the time I got home Wednesday morning the weather had broken. I
came home to a very vocal feline, went to bed, wasn't up in time
to go to rehearsal or feeling well enough to deal with the trash
and litter box, crashed again, woke up feeling able to stand long
enough to wash all the dishes in the sink (though I was hurting
by the time I finished), and crashed again. I'm told I sound a
bit more like myself on the phone, which is a good sign. Now to
see about getting my life back on track, catching up on stuff that's
been falling through the cracks, and try to get a complete solution
before the bottle of meclizine runs out.
