Not ready to retire lvpets2002.. I will loose to much in benefits if I retire right now.. The job will be there, they are sending me the paperwork for short term disability.. I wasn't going to mess with it if he'd released me last week but missing a whole trip is going to hit me in the pocketbook... going to mess with my "plans" of things I need to get done.. LOL! If I hate sitting at home temporally, I am NOT going to like retirement at ALL!

Yes sirrahbed, I have been doing a lot of cooking at home. I don't think I have ever washed up so many dirty dishes at home in all the time I have lived here! I have spent a small fortune on groceries in the time I have been home and eating a lot of in season fruit. Samantha and Boo have suddenly become very interested in what I am eating and wanting samples...

My Captain called me yesterday evening, they are down here again . He is so outdone that I am not going to come back this trip and is still telling me to just hurry up and get better! I told him I want this gone worse than he does but I want it gone for good and not have it pop up again in 3 to 6 months or a year from now, that is why I am so willing to do the MRI.. Lets get to the root of it and see if it can be fixed!

Laura, I'm so sorry you're still going through this, but it WILL get better! The exercises (if they're the ones I think) are supposed to make you feel the vertigo, and, as time goes on it lessens to a point that it's gone. That's the idea of them. I swear, one day you're just going to think back and say to yourself - "Hey, it's been a whole day and I haven't felt it!" - It happens! I promise!

Had the MRI this morning and they said it will be 48 hours before the doctor gets to see it.. I don't know if he will call me with the results or I have to wait until I see him at the end of the month but I will call Monday and find out. The MRI was nothing... laying on my back that long was my biggest problem (I never lay on my back!) I didn't even have any reaction to being injected with that dye.. I just closed my eyes and pretended like I was laying on a noisey beach..LOL!

HOWEVER, when I finally set up.. WOW! Was I dizzy!! I went out in the waiting room and waited until I felt I could drive and then left.. I have been nauseated all day, worse than usual...Don't know if all that was a reaction to laying on my back, the dye or what! EUCK!
