So the doctor’s visit went well. The flare up of bad vertigo and the fact that I performed horribly on the basic balance tests he did in the office are good indicators that my inner ear was effectively “stunned” by the second treatment. The balance issues will get better as my brain adjusts. He couldn’t test my hearing because the audiologist was out but I can tell that it is fine. So now the question is if the symptoms I’m still having are due to the adjustment of my brain to using the other ear or if the darned thing just isn’t stunned enough. In any case, it is encouraging that the 2nd treatment stunned but didn’t deaden the inner ear and it means that a 3rd treatment would likely be quite effective if I go that route. I see him again a week from today. We’ll test my hearing and if I want it, we’ll do the 3rd Gentamicin treatment then. The last two days have been icky and today has been better. But I still feel like I’m not at a functional place yet so if this keeps up, I’m having the third one.

I finally released a new episode of Anne of Green Gables! Yea! She is so fun to read, I may do another one this afternoon.  EDIT TO ADD: You can always download my new episodes from the podcast page (look for the tab at the top of the website), but for the sake of ease, here is a direct link to Chapter 23 in which “Anne Comes to Grief in an Affair of Honor”.

Check out this post on a book about beautiful libraries that my mom happened upon and sent my way. Just stunning stuff. Too bad my local libraries don’t have the actual book.

Knitting pictures coming as soon as I recharge the batteries. (Does anyone know if rechargable batteries eventually die? Mine don’t seem to be lasting very long.)
