A trip to Portland, to OHSU, had me on edge...During the past year, my world had become quite small...I continued to drive but only in the Joseph/Enterprise area and only in the daylight...The motion of riding in a car/truck was very disconcerting, things seemed to bombard me from every direction...I had always loved going deer hunting with Herb every fall, when he "road hunted." I was pretty good at spotting the game, but now the continual motion of trees and brush made my stomach churn, my head hurt until I lay back, closed my eyes and said, "I have to go back to the house." I was still walking for exercise and occasionally, with great difficulty I could ride my bike...But now even when I walked, everything around me moved, such as, the mountains jiggled, the trees and telephones polls swayed and bounced, with every step...Some days I lived in a fog so dense that I thought maybe I was loosing my mind...I was scared, angry and depressed.
So even though a trip to Portland frightened me, it gave me a glimmer of hope, a possibility that another MRI could see what was going on inside my head, brain, ears or a specialist with all of his knowledge could diagnose the problem, and that a pill could make me better..OR at least I thought I could deal with knowing what was wrong, rather than trying to live with the unknown...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
