Lucille II

For those of you that are/were fans of the show Arrested Development, you know its brilliance is mastered by a combination of witty writing/acting, genius plotting, and making everyday family life as manic and dysfunctional as possible.  I still enjoy this show, and Matt and I do watch the dvds on occasion. But what I sometimes find disturbing is when events, quotes, or other show details become parallel with my own life.  Fortunately I have not lost a hand to a seal, my father is not imprisoned, I am not in love with my cousin, and I am not always fighting with my brothers for the affection/attention of my father.

Unfortunately though for me, I can identify with Lucille II. I recently had a case of vertigo and was topsy turvy for about a day. Unlike Lucille, I did not have to check into a vertigo rehabilitation center, but I did have to check into the hospital for a few hours. A few IVs of anti-nausea medication and Valium, and I was well on my way (to sleep). I am getting back to normal slowly by doing my realignment exercises, but have decided not to take anymore Valium. 

Hopefully this experience will be my first and last, which is likely as I will not be going on any rides with Michael in his convertible at any point in the future.
