I want to thank each and everyone of you for your thoughts and prayers of late, and would like to ask that you continue them for me.
Tuesday July 24th, I will be going to VCU for an operation on my left inner ear, that will completely eliminate my left side balance function due to this dreaded Minere's disease. I also will have the complete vestibule of theinner ear that controls the vestibular function taken out. All of this will be done via drilling all the affected areas out of my inner ear.
To say I am scared is putting it mildly, because of the possibility of not being able to do things that I used to do, or not being able to do things that I can now. Only time will tell.
I will most likely be off of the computer for a extended period of time, but will keep a few informed as I can on the progress as I can.
This will be a long long road to travel in recovery and be at least 8-12 weeks of operation/rehab recovery time.
Let's hope I can get in the woods on October, even if someone has to carry me!!
Thanks and God Bless

After sitting here all day waiting for a call from someone, anyone, I just made a call to the Surgery Scheduling Department. They informed me they do not usually call until later in the evening. Well to make a long story short, their evening just got short, real short.
I am scheduled to have the surgery at 1:00PM tomorrow and have to be there at 11:00 AM in the morning. Very little to go on, but supposedly the surgery is about 2 hours long and there is a 24 hour grace period of post operative surgery to see how well I am doing, or can do, and then it will be decided if I have to stay or not. Have no idea at all, so nothing I can relay to anyone at this time.
The only reason I will be there at the time requested is because I feel it will help ME. Because their system of informing patients lacks every thing to be desired. To say I am a little PO'ED is putting it lightly, but feel I have to get this done if there is any hope of improvement for me. Other wise, there would be a lot of idle people at 11:00 to 1:00 wondering where I am.
