woozily
Like when dizzy
Woozily means in a woozy manner—dazed, unsteady, or mentally foggy.
Someone moves woozily when dizzy from illness, exhaustion, or intoxication: She stumbled woozily toward the bathroom after waking from anesthesia.
The word suggests impaired coordination and clouded thinking, as though the world isn't quite in focus.
