Hello Fellow Travelers!
I waited to post until just now because I saw my neurologist today, and since these are the chronicles of my prolonged (I mean really!?! Will this ever end?) journey through "brain cancer square", I felt like reporting "live" in "real time".
I now have a plan for neuroplasticity that involves neurosurgery (Thank You, HA!), a hospital and tons and I mean tons of physical therapy!
As you may have surmised, I am single-minded in reaching my goal objective, which is simply to walk again. I found out today that I'm "pre-diabetic" (whatever that means) or to put it in English, "You need to lay off the Mocha Freezes from Costco!"
Too bad, too! I really like those things!
OK, I'll stop inhaling the bakery goods, duly noted.
Another "post surgical" revelation? I'm definitely suffering from vertigo! Duh! Not exactly news!
I tip over all the time! I'm like a table without one leg! Totally unstable!
Yesterday, I fell and hit the side of my head on an opposing wall (is that what "opposing" means? Like - Opposing Counsel?)
My left incisor (fang tooth) bit through my cheek and left a big welt..
I look as though I was in a street fight and lost badly! Or to be really precise, I resemble someone who just had their ass handed to them!
So, I did what any female in a similar situation would do: I overapplied expensive concealer and followed that with Brightening Powder (Laura Mercier).
As I was evaluating my "cover" job (it blew!), I began to notice other changes.
In spite of many cuts and bruises, my overall "carcass" has visibly improved!
"Working out" has worked out!
Not only have I lost weight, I've developed "new" muscles!
My "front" is all torn up, but my "foundation" is stronger than ever!
My arms, legs, core all show new growth and definition!
As Tom Cruise said in "Interview With The Vampire", "There's life in the old girl, yet!" (Of course, he was dancing with a corpse when he said this, but you get the idea....)
There are still many adventures in front of me! Many places for the PS and I to see!

Vertigo is merry-go-round spinning sensation, one inexpensive
ReplyDeleteremedy is Eppley's manoevre to shake up the sand of the cochlear hair cells.
You lie down on the bed, on your back, head dangling over (upsidedown) the edge and turned to left or right for 30 seconds, the sit up quickly, and Dizzy Dizzy! Therapeutic! Then do it again but turn the head to the other side. If Eppley's manoevre doesn't help, it probably is not positional vertigo...
