More doctors

Since we were done last week by Thursday, we took a break and went up to Minneapolis to see our son Peter and have a change of pace.  We came back to Rochester on Sunday evening for my appointment with the neurologist on Monday.  He was very pleasant but it wasn't until almost the end or our conversation that I finally got his attention.  His specialty within neurology is the vestibular nerve and other balance issues so that was where he was camped.  He couldn't give a good explanation for the "vibrating" feeling I have in my brain when I talk, the constant head pain (not headache) and pressure and the nausea.  There is no doubt the vestibular nerve on the left is functioning only slightly, but that is only a piece of the puzzle.  He finally came to that conclusion and ordered a CT scan specifically to look at the bone structure in the inner ear.  I have an appointment with a vascular neurologist this afternoon and a neuro surgeon tomorrow morning.  They are familar with my vascular problems and will understand more what has been done and is possibly causing the problems.  If they want more testing we are going to try scheduling that for more of the middle of March so we can get to Chicago and see our daughter and family then we will stop here on the way back if needed.

God gave me a verse before I went yesterday;  Deut. 31:16   "So be strong and courageous.  Do not be afraid or panic before them.  For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you.  He will nver fail you or abandon you."  He was definitely there in the room giving me the courage to continue to ask questions and guide the conversation.  I'm counting on that today! 

Until the next post
Blessings to all,
