In case you were wondering, the sunrise in Prague happens around 6:15. How do I know this information? Well, I was horribly awoken (is that a word?) this morning with the overwhelming sense the room was spinning. Was I dreaming? I figured so, so I woke myself up immediately...unforunately, the reality was I was literally feeling this way. I woke up and the room was spinning like crazy. It just kept spinning and spinning. I felt I was about to loose any second. I tried to layback down thinking that would help, but it did the exact opposite. It got worst when I was lying down. I literally had to sit up for the next hour or so. I took some advil, but that didn't kick in for a good while. Has this every happened to anyone? I kinda was able to sleep in the sitting position, but then got back up around 9:00, and it's stayed with my all day so far. What is going on? I feel absolutely horrible!! I called the Canadian Medical Clinic, and that was absolutely NO help, and quite honestly, very frustrating. They were getting me in to see the orthopedic? What in the world? I will confess the call did escalate into talking very loudly. I probably need to call back and apologize. She just kept asking ridiculous questions, telling me I wasn't a patient...anyways, I won't rehash that conversation...just know language/cultural barriers suck, especially when you feel like crap. So, I started doing what any girl does, and that's cry. Why? I have no clue. It wasn't going to help or change the situation, but I guess it made me feel better. So, I'm crying on the phone, they put me on hold, so I hangup. I then decided to email my 2 doctor friends at home. Of course, there's the wonderful time difference, so who knows when I'll hear from them. Well, I'm definitely venting a bit and having a slight pity party. I'm just miserable!! If anyone has any advice, please let me know!!!
On a positive note, it's my favorite type of weather outside: cold and rainy. I love it. Perfect for being inside all day. Well, I'll probably be back later...hopefully with something more fun...

that happened to me a year ago. the same doctors came to my house and told me they had no idea what was happening. it went away on its own, and then weeks later i remembered i had been swimming a few days before and probably just had water in my ear. crazy that no one could see it! good luck. advil was prob good. i bet you have an ear infection or something. - laura
