Saturday, October 14, 2023 – Oil Change on the Truck, Odd Dizzy Spells

Hi Babe,
Slept really late this morning, didn't have too much to do today. Don't have a chainsaw back yet, so I decided to change the oil on my truck. I bought what I needed shopping the other day, though it took me a few minutes to find the oil, because Rotella now comes in a wine box type container! Ran the truck up onto the Jiffy Jack just to get it a little higher, then did the job. Lubed most of the zerk joints as well, though I was a bit low on grease so I'll have to go back and redo them once I get another tube. Read for awhile, then had dinner and was just about to go out and feed the horses when I suddenly felt very dizzy. I stayed in my chair for awhile, and it seemed to improve, but as soon as I tried to get up, it came back. Broke into a sweat as well. I stayed in my chair another hour hoping it would improve enough to feed the horses, but it didn't. Thank goodness Deb was around, she came and fed them for me. I thought maybe I picked up something shopping the other day, so I did a covid test, but it came up negative. I also thought maybe it was artificial sweetener in the juice I've been drinking, sometimes I get a reaction to aspartame if I have too much, but that wasn't it either. No idea. I'm heading for a shower (thank goodness I still have that shower seat in there!), and heading straight to bed, where I'll stay until I feel better. I may have to get Deb's help again in the morning, though I'm hoping I'll be better by then. Sucked on a zinc tablet, that usually helps. Anyway, I'm off. Good night, my darlin'! Love you!
