Dancing the Macabray

If you haven’t read Neil Gaiman’s Graveyard Book, the title may be lost on you, but the Macabray is the dance the living and dead share. Since I feel like I just came back to life, I’m
dancing the Macabray
today. Or lurching. Whatever. My balance isn’t great due to my effed up inner ear. I stagger a lot even without codeine making me dizzier.

I woke up early Thursday a.m. to this horrible pain in my ear and deafness. I didn’t actually know ear infections could get so bad, so fast. I didn’t know they could spread to your jaw and make you unable to chew, either. Live and learn. For the last 5 days I’ve been medicated to the gills and mostly too dizzy to read or write, but this morning I woke up better. Very encouraging. Now if my hearing and balance would just come back, that’d be swell. Fortunately, I can type sitting down and I don’t have to hear the keyboard.
