It was nice to find you had posted as well and hopefully you are feeling better also taking it easy with returning to work, which can be stressful in itself. We had considered having chickens when we lived in VA, but then figured it would be work and were unsure how the neighbors would react, even though there was no zoning against having them.

I love sitting in my chicken coop (I keep a chair in chair turned upside down between uses to avoid sitting in masses of poop) and just watching them at work.

Hopefully you will figure out what's wrong soon! <br /><br />I miss having chickens also but after the hawk left the last one for dead and we had to finish it off I said that's enough. No doubt it would be worse in this house with the coyotes, I don't need to draw them any closer to my house to attack my pups, that's for sure.

When we were living in Kingston, we could have had some in our backyard. A bylaw was passed that gave homeowners permission to do so. I lived in a bit of a snobby area, so I don't think my neighbours would have really liked that. Not that I would have cared. But I'm glad we didn't do it because we moved to another city where we can't have them and it would've been horrible to have to give up the chickens. I'm a big softie with animals!<br /><br />My younger daughter spent her first year of university in residence and it was probably the best thing she could've done. She met a lot of people and got involved in a lot of things. The past two years she's been in a private home that she shares with four other girls.<br /><br />I should ask my daughter if fire alarms ever went off while she was in residence. Ah, those crazy kids! :)Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09262406079948479112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372726504543914139.post-81470429105000861292018-03-19T21:58:58.065-04:002018-03-19T21:58:58.065-04:00I had something similar years back and it was my s...I had something similar years back and it was my spine. I had pinch nerves/slipped discs and the first nerve at the base of my brain was pinched. I dunno if that's too scary or even if that's your case but I'm tossing it out there.

The vertigo sounds like an inner ear thing to me. But the tremor . . . don't know and am glad you're having it checked out.<br /><br />I love the "Grace and Frankie" series. Our Netflix here in the States still doesn't have Season 3, but I've seen the first two. Even though I know Jane Fonda has had "work" done, she's the best looking 80 year old around. And how she can wear clothes! THAT is one stylish woman.<br /><br />I wouldn't want to be in on the college scene these days for love nor money. I know there are good kids out there (like yours), but so many of them don't seem to have the good sense of a rock.<br /><br />We've had all kinds of different animals in our years of homesteading. Gotta admit goats are my favorite personality-wise, but I'd never give up chickens . . . for their eggs and the flavor of the meat of an old stewing hen? Mmmm-mmm, can't be beat!<br /><br />Keep us updated on your doctor's appointments and what they tell you.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372726504543914139.post-49036159525449260052018-03-19T18:23:47.155-04:002018-03-19T18:23:47.155-04:00So happy to have you back in blogland.

I hope that whatever is causing this vertigo will just get the heck out of town. You've been through enough!

Glad you are turning the corner, able to get back to work. And I do hope you get those chickens. We can't have them in the city and I know they are a lot of work, but I rather love the idea. <br /><br />And I consider blogging the most social of the social media platforms -- people actually take time with someone -- to read, to comment, to get to know a bit more in depth than "like" or whatever. FB is a slacker media and so is instagram, I think. Too easy to click a button and go onto the next. With Blog, I think we develop relationships. They'll be different with everyone -- some more passing and less involved, others deep friendships that might turn real. If that's not social, I don't know what is.<br /><br />And finally, if it was me in your spot, and given both the vertigo (which could well be inner ear) and the tremors, I would try to request a neurology consult, just to ease the mind. Not sure how it works there, but it's worth it to insist and hope you were just being silly. <br />Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372726504543914139.post-86775902728812666792018-03-19T10:05:38.661-04:002018-03-19T10:05:38.661-04:00Glad to hear that you are getting back to normal, ...Glad to hear that you are getting back to normal, as normal as life can be.

I think a meat/egg variety would work for that.<br />I have something called Familial Tremor that sounds a lot like your description. I feel like my left ear is full of water. It flares up now and again when I've had trauma - like that blasted surgery back in January. It will eventually go away again. Might be something you want to look into.

With regards to your vertigo woes, we get a number of people at the physio clinic for this & there are some very simple exercises you can do at home that help. I'll ask our physio therapist if there's a link & send along to you. I mentioned the St Patrick's day univ events on my blog; this morning's news is filled with all the charges & problems from one university's out of control party(s). I just read from our health minister's office that vaping is proofing to be quite a health hazard. Had chickens as a kid, I'll leave it to the lady down the road, where I get her lovely eggs & none of the worries (col).

Try Googling "auto click" to get started finding directions to change the setting.
