I have visions of throwing a large ceramic urn out my second story window with all my might and gusto. Seeing it smash to the ground, shattering shattering. And then I repeat the cycle...never stopping for a breath. A bazillion more urns one right after another each one airborne and approaching disaster. The sound of it all, the crashing and breaking, the split second change from order to chaos...
Today the kind Dr. told me some sort of gibberish about fluid and my ears and my hearing loss and what tests are supposed to look like and how my ears are not matching up to the results of the test. What normal test results show, what mine isn't showing. He told me that I must avoid excessive exercise that sometimes exercise is not good for you. He told me that I can go for a moderate walk and possibly do some light weight lifting, but if I'm still dizzy (which I am) to do nothing. Then he said, see you in two weeks. Oh, and of course, no swimming. No high altitudes...flights, mountains...
So basically, Martha, sit still.
That's it. No resolution
You think you're going to get more answers from me? You're wrong.
If you're feeling perplexed and confused,
welcome to my world.

So he didn't give you any other options as far as treatment? do you know if the fluid is in your inner ears? If not it's okay, just wondering. Too bad you can't do much. If you need anything, let me know!
Wow, VERY frustrating Martha! So he didn't even tell you what is wrong, but just that your test results do not match the norm? Weird. I think Docs are clueless most of the time. Hang in there and rest, it may be good for you. I'll keep praying!
If I could switch places with you so that you could be the ever moving Martha again, I would. The world is a much more sad place when you aren't moving. :(
To everything turn, turn, turn, turn. There is a season turn, turn, turn, turn…umm, maybe don't turn…and sorry for the really bad joke in singing that song. Am I a bad friend. I just cannot stand to know that you are not smiling, nor laughing at these moments where we have no control. Do we ever? I love you and completely sympathize, no empathize with you.
Martha, I'm sorry. I have just a small idea of how much you like moving so I'm sure this is so difficult! I hope the doctor can help you figure out how to become ever moving martha again. :)
