Thanks Cyclic. As long as we can get a handle on this, and things don't get any worst, I will be just fine. I can learn to live with, for the most part, as I am now. I just have to be carefull and watch what and how I do things. Like everything else in mine and everyone's life, there is always room for improvement.

Thanks again everyone. Still getting some done, just a little slow, but they will all get done for sure.

Rehab was to say the least a real struggle today, and the nurse, who by the way is just wonderful. I have see her before, she knows all my history, and she told me today that after we had done some of the exercises, that this would not work for my condition as it is. She is making me an appointment back with my original ENT, and sending an email to him to see if I qualify for "shots". She said there were two different ones that can be done, and with one of them it destroys the vestibular function of that side, and it has to be retrained completely, with her approval of a very high success rate. The other shots are prolong over a long period of time and only have a short term affect. If I have to go the first route, things will get a LOT WORSE for a while, but can be rehabed. The short term one offers but little short term help, and has to be repeated over and over.

So, if that's the case, I guess I have a decision to make. Do I allow someone to completely destroy my balance system and hope they can rebuild me or just sit and suffer and live life doing absolutely nothing and wither away. I hate days like this.
