Really should give a health update...

As far as the hysterectomy goes, I'm slowly but surely getting there.  Seemed to have developed a bladder infection over the past couple of days.  Guess I'll call the doc in the morning and get it checked out.

So...on Friday, I went for an appointment with my ENT.  He was very happy to hear that I got to keep my ovaries and is cautiously optimistic that by removing the birth control pill from the equation that I may finally get some relief.  He isn't sending me back to work yet but is open to possibly sending me back in mid-February.  It's a little hard to gauge how the Meniere's is doing when you've been in bed for the majority of the past 2 weeks.  I do feel more stable when I'm up and I'm not dizzy all the time.  Is it from the bed rest?  Does it mean I'm getting better?  Did the surgery finally work?  If so, which one?  I don't know the answer.  I'll be testing myself out a good bit over the next couple of days.  I have to get a bunch of papers graded and go over to the school to do a few things.  That'll be a better indication of how I'm progressing.  I'm still on the Klonopin, amitriptyline, and using my Meniett.  I've taken Valium only a few times.  If I'm not better in February, I plan to pursue the MAV route and see what happens.

Getting back to work will be hard and stressful, but I think getting back into the routine will be good for me and for my kids.  I think they are starting to get concerned that I've been gone from work for so long.  They're young but observant little boogers.
