Opticians & shopping center ALONE!!

[paula lynne]

Well after 3 years putting it off, I went to the opticians! Didnt like the flashing lights, and puff of air in my eyes, but didnt panic and didnt have a migraine afterwards, which I was worried about!

My friend dropped me at a small shopping center. It became difficult then as my vertigo was horrendous...I sat down every 5 mins...but managed a few shops, and had lunch! Hubby met me for a coffee, offered me a lift home, BUT I GOT THE BUS!! 45 mins (so no escape!)...

Had 3 ectopics on the bus, but became calmer almost straight away...then walked up the huge hill (30 degree gradient!),,,wow..puffed out and palps at home for 10 mins...but then COULDNT STOP SMILING, I DID IT!!!.

Ok it wasnt comfortable, mostly uncomfortable if truth be told, but another step facing my fears. Also a neighbour commented Id lost weight, so thats given me a boost!

Got a new dress and lippy...brilliant day.
