I'm driving again

4. I describe my vertigo like this

Have you ever seen a movie of an old time sailing ship that's bobbing up and down in rough seas and there is a crewman down below in the hold trying to walk but keeps getting rocked back and forth? That's how I felt. It began when I woke up on a Saturday and the room appeared tilted to the right.

One of the things the physical therapist told me is the eyes send a message to the brain as to what your position is and the inner ear tries to respond to what the eyes are seeing. When the inner ear doesn't respond that's when the dizziness begins. I still, to some degree, experience some off-balance when I close my eyes while shampooing my hair or when I getting ready to go upstairs to bed and I turn off the living room lamp and walk six feet the stairs where there is a light switch. My eyes and ears don't like me walking dark but it is getting better.

I start the first of eight vestibule therapy sessions in three weeks so hopefully by then everything will be cleared up and I can get back to bowling and prepare for tournament in August.
