Medical update: It will be at least July before I can get an appointment with a neurological movement specialist. I'll have to wait longer to know more. In the mean time the blood work tests the neurologist ordered all came back normal. Today I had the thorough eye tests that he ordered and except for normal aging, my eyes are fine. I still wobble when I walk.
We are in the process of recarpeting our whole upstairs - three bedrooms and our office. Several weeks ago we decided on a carpet selection and a vendor and this week we finalized the order. Today we received an install date, May 11. This week we also started the process of clearing clutter and prepping rooms. We have one bedroom ready for the installers to move the furniture. The garage has been sorted and more room was made for storage. Tom took loads to the dump and to Goodwill and our recycle bin was stuffed. This will be an ongoing process and now we have a deadline.
Wednesday we watched on TV as the Sounders played in the semi-final of the CCL Champions League. The Sounders won and will go on to play Mexico's top club later in April in Mexico and in May here in Seattle. We bought tickets this morning.
This afternoon we attended Irene's high school track meet again. This morning when I drove to and from my optometry appointment it was snow raining. This afternoon it was not, and we were glad. It's still chilly, but dry is good. The sky was dramatic.
Irene ran the 4x200m relay, the 100m hurdles, and the 300m hurdles. Here she is winning the 100m hurdles.

Here I am, bundled up in the cold sunshine, watching all the action.
It's not always easy be we do manage to keep moving along.
Key word: Moving. I am glad to read that.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the Sounders won, and that your blood work was all normal. You are getting there! :-)
ReplyDeleteYour quest for answers seems torturous as it drags on and on. Having all normal results must be kind of a mixed blessing and yet worth celebrating by living your life as you love to do. Your attitude is a great example for us all.
ReplyDeleteIrene looks as though she was born to jump those hurdles!
You're managing to do many more times what normal people are doing. we need carpeting but always find an excuse about logistics. there was a pro photographer at Irene's track meet!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the tests have been coming back normal. Perhaps there will be a cancellation so you can in to see the specialist sooner.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, you're certainly keeping busy! Congrats to Irene on the win (and the Sounders too).
Good to know that your blood work is normal, I hope you are on the cancellation list for the Neuro specialist, maybe you can get in sooner. Getting older sucks and we have to keep moving one day at a time:) Yeah Irene!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the recarpeting. It's always a pain to do it, but the results are fabulous! I love fish and chips!
ReplyDeleteI love those sky pictures!!
ReplyDeletelove that clam chowder and a winning grand daughter what more can you ask for!
ReplyDeleteThat Irene is really something, (like her Mom and her Grandmother). She is a beautiful girl. Glad your bloodwork came back normal, that's encouraging. You and Tom get so much done. So many big projects! Oh, your tulips at Whidbey cabin are simply beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there was such a doc as a neurology movement specialist! Sounds like they'll be more helpful than a Physical Therapist. Sounds like fun day moving about. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteYou guys are so out and about! You have more energy than I do.
ReplyDeleteI found this article about dizziness - possibly due to vertigo. I skimmed through and there are techniques as well as a medication but what I was drawn to was using gingko biloba since I do like natural therapies best. Here's hoping that you will be all well soon and back to moving around and doing all that you love to do.
