I went to see my neurologist Dr. Bell this morning and had the scheduled tests. It helped (a bit) that I had these tests on my feet/legs/knees before. So I knew what was going to happen. I knew enough to seriously consider canceling the appointment. My sister said I was a wus. Maybe I should …
It’s been a while since I posted. I have been busy (as usual) with a few extra things thrown into the mix. Summer with this city woman actually doing some gardening or having other folks do it – some for pay and some by amazing friends helping us out. The yard looks better and is …
I haven’t posted since the ones when we got home from California. A lot has happened. We’ve been busy. I only have time to catch up a little here right now. I started to write this an hour ago and the power blinked off and I lost it so I am writing a short one …

Well, Alec and I drive back to Seattle this morning for my appointment at UW Medical Center for the dizziness and balance testing which was put off last month when we went up and found out the balance machine(s) were broken. The tests are: Videonystagmography (VNG), the Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP), and Rotary Chair Testing …
Well, Alec and I spent Thursday night at a friends house so we could get to the hospital in Seattle bright and early (7:45!) I had the MRI first, and then went to check in for the three hour balance test. That’s when they told me that the balance test machine was broken! Now the …
