Wednesday night, I came down with what I thought was a pretty severe stomach flu. Today, I went to the hospital because the nausea and dizziness wasn't getting better. Turns out, I don't have a stomach flu but Benign Positional Vertigo which is not contagious and will go away in a few weeks. They can treat the most severe symptoms so that I can do normal things with care, but because of the inner ear problem, I'm unbalanced and tend to look like I'm drunk. People are staring.

So. My oldest daughter wants to go shopping for her May Queen dress, and I have a driver, but I'm concerned about people staring. Not for my sake - I could not care less, but she's 15 and people staring at her mother is embarassing. I could ask her aunt to take her, but then I'd miss out. Am I being selfish?
