17th July 2022, Vertigo

So covid was... interesting. I was mostly hit hard on the Saturday and 
found myself in a fit of fever madness. Sunday was not so bad and I 
stayed off work Monday mostly as a eff you for having no weekend. 
Tuesday started out alright but then I was hit by a feeling of sheer 
madness. I could not move without the room swinging around. This 
continued for several days with a severity where I was struggling to 
walk to the toilet. I didn't eat for several days as I felt so 
confused. Sitting up involved several slow movements almost in a 
single axis. Friday is when it slowly started to improve and I found 
myself able to sit up for longish periods on Saturday. I am still 
struggling to walk without some balance issues. I think it is 
labyrinthitis, an infection of the ear which causes vertigo. The right 
ear is pretty bad and I can't hear out of it. Through in some tinnitus 
and it seems pretty text book. Sort of torn with going to a GP as they 
can't really do anything but it is also something you want to keep 
touch on. It also feels like I should get a doctors note about it with 
work as this can take a fair while to clear up. 

We seem to have stupid heat appearing tomorrow. Well stupid heat for 
the UK.. 38 degrees Celsius! Not looking forward to this really. Poor 
Barry the crested gecko is not going to be a happy chap either. I have 
fans going for him and will be using evaporative cooling with a large 
bowl of water to help him. Some ice packs in the worst part of the day 
should help too. This crazy weather is not designed for Stugs or 
Barrys it seems.
