Good news, bad news

I had the angiogram this morning and Dr. Frei found that all the AVM Fistula is gone; he has it all embalized so there is nothing active going on there.  So that is the good news.  The bad news; I am still very, dizzy, off balance and I still have the pain in the left side of my head.  He didn't seem to take seriously the diagnosis that Dr. Burgess (ENT from Rapid) gave me.  The most frustrating was that they didn't talk with one another even though I had asked both of them to get in touch with each other.  I do have an appointment with another ENT here in Denver tomorrow morning.  I'm not sure what he will do.  Dr. Frei said he would have to do some testing on the vestibular nerve but didn't know what the testing would be.  So ~ another day to wait and see. 
It was disappointing today but I have not given up hope.  Ps. 62:6  "He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress.  I will not be shaken."  Tormorrow is another new day!  Another day toward the answer.

Blessings,
jeanne
