A Set Back?

Glen Rose, Texas
Weather: cloudy, low temperature 32 degrees, high temperature 37 degrees. I will try to refrain from whining about the weather so much. However, I do reserve the right to whine if I feel like it.

Carolyn had a followup appointment with the doctor about the tube that was put in her left ear last week. The ear has healed up as it should. However, as I wrote a few days ago, she continues to have the problems with the vertigo and nausea. She is taking Mecklizine for the nausea, and it helps that symptom. The medicine and other treatments she has had have not done anything for the dizziness. She has been scheduled for ~two months of intense therapy that we hope will take care of the problem. The only other alternative is surgery on the affected ear that may or may not work, and we do not want to take that step if we can help it.

Since it looks like we will be here for at least another two months, and we don't know what the outcome will be, we are taking another look at our plans to go to Alaska. The last thing we need to do with Carolyn having these problems is to take off on a trip that may aggravate the condition. If we have to, we may put off that trip until next year.

In the meantime, we will be taking day trips as Carolyn's illness allows. When we take the trips, we will take pictures and notes so I can use the blog as a way to let everyone know what areas we are visiting. This is not quite what we expected we would be doing after being here four monhs, but as I said earlier, the most important thing is to make sure Carolyn is over this illness before we leave.
