So, we’re in “watch and wait” mode. Each day is an opportunity to see how well I can manage and thrive (really?) with this new challenge. I like the less symptomatic days best . . . what a surprise. Learning what makes one day easier than another is not clear. Good sleep seems important but there are so many other factors, who knows?
My parents arrived from Colorado last Tuesday night and will be staying until this coming Thursday. As you might imagine this has greatly altered the pace of our lives. Sarah and Ethan have joined us for dinner each evening, the lovely Giovanna was here one night, and David arrived yesterday for the weekend. There is a big difference between Ed and me grazing for dinner and feeding six or seven of us nightly. Still, the fridge is loaded, everyone pitches in with preparation and clean up, and we have yet to be food deprived. Of course I cannot write anything interesting or funny about all of this because some of the characters might read it, recognize themselves, and be offended. Suffice it to say, we are a cast of characters.
I have started seeing a local health care practitioner who does a combination of acupuncture, Chinese herbs and cranial manipulation, as well as having a weekly chiropractor appointment. Next Thursday I add a vestibular physical therapy appointment to the mix. Each treatment holds the possibility of lessened symptoms. On good days I am hopeful.
With love,
Karen
