I haven’t been able to sleep on my right side since the fall of 2002, and boy, do I want to turn over! I’m lucky, though. If I turn my head as far as it will go to the left, the vertigo vanishes. I’m sure at times we both look comical!

Really?

*I* only sleep on my left side!

If accidentally roll over and don’t wake up instantly, I’m
-wrecked- the whole next day.

Neck ‘seizes up’ something terrible.

[a crummy chiro rally messed it up *even worse* for me a couple years ago]

Mine started clear back in 1985 when my ex fractured my neck refused to let me have it treated for fear he’d be arrested.

Sometimes I look like the town drunk.

Odin, the boy Dobe has been taught to plant his feet and brace himself against my hip when I start to act wobbly.

One night, right before Christmas, I went “post turtle” in a Best Buy and everybody just stepped over or around me.

Not one single ‘gentleman’ even offered to help me up.

I pulled myself, hand over hand up the shelves.

Took me a good 10 minutes and at least 20 people just walked right by.
