The chair has become my nemesis

Not really sure there's much else to say but that.
 After last week's chair ride I felt a smidgen of improvement in dizziness, and at this point, I guess I'll take it.  We had a lovely weekend last weekend with some social stuff (wait for it) and even though I was still really struggling, compared to the 10/10 I've been feeling, any improvement at this point is clutch.  Overall though, this just isn't getting better and in fact, I'm getting worse and worse over the past 2 months so it's so dang frustrating.

We went in on Tuesday of this week for a pre-scheduled appointment and more chair rides. 
Here's fast if you're interested:



And slow:

After about an hour and a half of that nonsense, homeward we went.  That day it was out anniversary which was so special, we rallied and went out to a lovely dinner (pics to come) and had such a great night.

On Wednesday I felt so much worse and actually had vertigo while sitting on the chair at the gym, it felt awful...so once I called the doc, it was back to the chair on Thursday.  Special.  Haven't had any improvement since so when I go to the doctor next week we might talk about taking a bit of a break from treatment for a while to give my poor inner ears a vacation.

On a happier note, I had a LOVELY visit from my good friend Ha and her little guy Jay - they were such a breath of sunshine around here.  I was glad, Rob went golfing in Palm Springs with his buddies and I was thrilled he could get a break from spinnyville.  I had dinner with some girlfriends and otherwise just did a lot of ensuring the couch wasn't going anywhere.  I'm a pro at this point.

Well, that's it for now.  Will keep you posted.
