On February 23, 2011, My mother wrote the following:

Since I fall into things, the wall or have other issues staying erect
all the time, I bruise myself and have to wait until the discomfort
subsides.
4. The dizziness cannot be stopped. The doctors do not know the cause.
5.
The pills I take don't seem to have an effect on the dizziness or lack
of balance. All of the doctors have tried to adjust dosage to no avail.
6. The medicines are not for pain. Lisinopil and Plavix
7. None that anyone is aware of.
8. No
9.
I have to be very cautious and take great care when cooking to make
sure I don't spill anything hot. My hands get weak as well and tremble
when I try to hold a bottle or pot. Personal care - I get dizzy in the
shower when I close my eyes and must make sure I am steady to start.
Housecleaning, cleaning, laundry and shopping can be difficult tasks.
On Feb 2, I was shopping and I fell at the shopping center. I cut both
knees, a shoulder, my right arm, my left thumb and needed to visit my
primary doctor, Dr Evans.
I cannot do housework or gardening or
maintenance. I have had to give up repairs that I used to do until
someone visits who can perform these things for me.
10. I must
advise my employer of my condition since I am unable to pinpoint when I
might become dizzy, lose my balance or have to take a break.
