Nov. 7th, 2013 05:22 pmOccasionally people ask me how I'm doing and I don't know what to answer. I'm doing. That doesn't seem to be the desired response, but I don't really know what else to say.
I saw the new ENT last weekend and I like this guy much better. He listened to me for starters, and then he asked me questions and listened to my answers. So he can stay. He's sending me for more tests of course, I'm supposed to get a phone call when they have an appointment slot available for me.
Meanwhile after almost three weeks I'm finally back to a more normal background level of vertigo. I went back to yoga on Tuesday and discovered that I can't drop my head without tipping over, so no downward dog for me. But I can do pretty much everything else. It was another class where I was the only appointment for the time slot so we did balance exercises for most of the hour.
Scruffy Old Man Cat continues to be worrisome. He's on regular insulin shots now and we were supposed to do a blood sugar curve on him. Only we just could not get blood out of the poor little guy. We tried for so long he now has a vivid bruise on his ear, but we finally had to just gave up. So I guess we'll take him back to the vet and get them to do it. Last time they had to give him fluids first because he's so dehydrated. He's eating better though, so it seems to be helping even though he's still beyond scrawny. And I think he's looking somewhat less jaundiced. And he still follows us around the house and cuddles happily on the nearest lap given the first opportunity.
I'm back at work for the most part. I have a new coworker fresh out of the box so I'm showing him everything I do even though my process might all change tomorrow. I told him this, along with the fact that it's been in "about to all change tomorrow" status for about a year now. He seems nice and he's really bright, but he does that thing where he tries to repeat everything I say while I'm still saying it. I find that - disconcerting.
I get a long weekend because of Rememberance Day - not everybody does. My folks have both asked for help with some of my sister's stuff and at some point I might try fixing the corner that's fallen off the front step or do some other much-needed house repairs. I had set myself up with a gym area just before the last round of severe vertigo hit, I might see if I'm finally stable enough right now to make use of that without braining myself.
So that's kind of my life right now. I feel like I'm in a holding pattern but that usually means I expect something different to happen eventually and right now I genuinely have no idea what that's supposed to be.
