Post Kitten Adventure Vertigo

 I woke up yesterday with vertigo.  I got off kilter though the day before.

I forgot to take my bp meds til late afternoon.  What does this have to do with vertigo the next day?  Well, my med can cause vertigo, as it causes ear and sinus congestion and it needs taken in the morning, not at night.

Secondly, My facial nerve is inflamed from tightness in my left side neck from overdoing.  My vertigo episodes began with neck tightness over the facial nerves where they exit the skull behind my ear.  I have no idea if its related to vertigo.  I just know that when I get vertigo, I also have left side nerve tightness down my face.

Thirdly my allergies have been very bad and I should have started anthistamines earlier, since the pollen is out of control.

So I woke up with vertigo yesterday.  I took measures immediately, as it wasn't really bad, like make me throw up bad, or have to crawl to safely get around bad.  I drank lots of water, put ice on my neck and took an antihistamine.  Later on I also took Aleve.   And went back to bed, as you can't do a thing when vertigo comes knocking.

By late afternoon it was long gone and I drove to the park finally, after washing my filthy car, to feed the boys.  Then I headed off to the colony in town behind the nursing home and set up a live trap.   This is the place where the feeder lady is taking five of them to her own property and I already trapped the two young girls.

I caught the gray tabby boy she feeds immediately, in the live trap.  Then I set up the drop trap and carelessly watched it while chatting on the phone with various people.  I'm trying hard to find placement for Blizz and Moon, the boys from the Salem shelter, who are in my garage waiting.

So I made many phone calls to people whom I was hoping might squeeze another into the ones they care for, without any luck.

Along comes the other tabby the lady feeds, and I drop trap him.  Neither were happy about it.  After that I was just hoping to catch the buff and white big boy.  He's always there and always hungry. The bobtail Siamese was there again, hungry too, but the feeder thinks he's owned, since he comes from another direction.  

In the meantime here comes the fluffy one.  I had though the fluffy one was black, when I saw him there when I was trapping the young girls.  But I turned on my headlights and its a very dark tabby.  I caught that one.  And finally I caught the buff and white big boy who needs neutered badly.  I called it a night, since that was four and I have only five spots tomorrow and a female is already contained and coming from Lebanon to go.

I call this big boy Jabba the Almost Orange

My brother is having knee replacement surgery this morning.  In fact, its scheduled for right now, this minute.  I hope it goes well.  I have a lot of friends who have had the operation  and say it changed their lives for the better and swear by it.

I'll get photos of the cats caught for fixing later on and add them to this post.
