I'm driving again [View all]
On March 11th, I was in the hospital for two days with vertigo. After a CAT scan, an MRI, and a CAT scan comparison it was determined there was nothing numerology wrong with me. Crystals in my inner ear had moved into the canals causing my vertigo. I was released with a walker and after about three days with it I was able to ditch it and use a cane. Last week was was able to ditch the cane and I can walk unassisted with very little wobble. I'm almost back to normal but he thing I missed was being able to drive.
Yesterday was the first time in 29 days that I drove. I saw my doctor the week before and let him know I was planning to drove on Sunday and he had no objections. I had a plan. Where l live we have a couple of small hills so I drove up and down the to see how I did. No problem; aced it. I feels good to be able to drive. I live by myself and I hate asking people to do things like take me to the supermarket. Since I live relatively close to the supermarket, I ordered a backpack from Amazon and used it instead of being laden down with carrying plastic bags. Surprisingly, when loaded it seemed to help me walk steadily.
Sometimes, ut's the little things we take for granted that we miss when we can no longer do them.
