Multi-tasking, Roger style

So anyone remember Roger's migraine/passing out incident in (Jan? Feb?)  Well it happened again on Wed. with out the migraine.  We both woke up super dizzy on Wednesday, which was weird.  My ear hurt like crazy also, but for Roger it was his same old thing of late.  He drove to work, which scares me, because - hello? dizzy?!?  and when he was walking to the building, he started to be sick and passed out!  He came to -  covered in barf, with bloody road rash and head bonks!!  It scared him enough to agree to let me come and get him (Breanne had a job interview) so I discovered what he had been telling me all along, driving dizzy isn't so bad, you just have to keep your head level.  It's not the head turning that's the problem, it's the head tilting.  

Yes - he has been to the doctor about this, who referred him to an ENT, who did bunches of tests, who said possibly Minears disease, but the results are inconclusive.  When he called on Wed. about this - the ENT said, huh, you should go back to your family doctor.  So, he has an appointment on Monday, and you can see, we are not doing our usual "ignore it till it goes away routine" here.   Iffn anyone has any ideas - shoot.  (my vertigo was probably a short term virus or just sore ears, it's mostly gone away now.)

So there he is with his banged up face (Ethan exclaimed "Dad!  Your face is a wreck!")  and here is the Friday he had planned for himself.

 7am.  Vein ablation.  800 degrees burning the deep vein in his leg.  He has to wear bandages and a leg length compression stocking for 2 days.

10:30 Dentist.  2 cavities.

2 pm.  The BIG FIX.  snip snip.  The drug they gave him to take before he came in kicked his butt HARD!!  He was so out of it he could barely walk.  Characteristically, he talked pretty much non-stop until he passed out at home for good and slept for a couple of hours.  He would totally be a chatty drunk.

5 pm.  A wonderful visit from Glenn and Timmi.  At least that part was good!

So you see, Roger can make anything, even a day off for a few same day medical procedures into an EXTREME SPORT!!

This morning:  he wakes up with a uvula swollen to 3 times it's normal size.  It keeps flopping forward onto his tongue!  So bizarre, but it did go back down by lunch time.

After that, was all the fun of Ethan's birthday party, going out to eat with the family, and playing a little baseball with Ethan.  No rest for the man, and he faced it with good humor and a few jokes, of course!
