After coming back from the great Web Directions North conference in Vancouver, I got sick. Well, I told you about some skiing accident in my previous post, I guess (or more likely I was too embarrassed to tell you). The story is this: I sliped on some ice on one of the slopes in Whistler and it turned out to be that I had bruised my thumb, strained a muscle in my right shoulder and the fall did some damage to my right orbit as well – which made it turn to dark-blue, violet and black finally. Although it looks much better now.
Anyways, I brought these nice little presents from my accident home with me. Unfortunately, I also got sick during the long flight from Vancouver back home to Dornbirn (via Frankfurt and Vienna). There were some troubles with the air condition during the trans atlantic flight, which made it become pretty hot in the cabin.
So when I came home, it turned out to be a nice flu. But this is also much better now, thank God.
Still I had to see a doctor today, because since Saturday I felt some strange dizzyness when lying down in bed, which made me vomit a couple of times on Saturday. It did not get better on Sunday, so I called the hospital and one of the doctors there advised me to see an ENT specialist on the next day. So today I went to this specialist. He calmed me down by saying that this is nothing serious, though the reason for this might be the accident I had up on the slopes in Whistler. He showed me an exercise I should practice 3 times a day so that some crystals which are part of my inner ear get rearranged and do not affect my sense of balance.
I also feel much better after I saw the doctor and I think that I am on my way to “100% healthy” again…
I will still take it easy in the next couple of days and try not to overdo it. I am certainly not in the mood for a relapse. I will try to do as much as I feel I can do – which is: constantly looking for new job opportunities, as I will be of no work starting March 1st. So if you know of any interesting opportunities for a Front-End Web Developer, focusing on XHTML, CSS and JavaScript with some decent Back-End Skills (for details, see my resume), I’d be happy to hear from you…
