Latest Doctor's Visit

My head is so jumbled, I feel like I just need to let all this spill out in whatever form it will before it gets lost in the vast recesses in my head.

1. I'm still not allowed back to work.  Go back on 4/20 for hearing test and some sort of electrode test that will tell me if I am getting this in my good ear.
2. Dr. May thinks that my balance issues and dizziness is being caused by my right ear trying to compensate for my bad left ear.  I've been officially assigned some unofficial exercises to do to try to retrain my brain...ha!  good luck with that, it's a stubborn booger.  Basically, I am to purposely do things that make me dizzy so my brain can learn to deal with it.  Eventually leading up to walking across rooms with my eyes closed so I'm not dependent on them.  
3. I am to try to not take any valium unless I really need it and possibly cut my Klonopin dosage either to 2 a day or by taking half instead of a whole.  These pills depress the central nervous system therefore not allowing it to compensate.  I can't cut them out completely or I would fall apart, so to speak.
4. He does think my left ear is more or less "burning itself out."  When I asked if that meant I would end up with no balance function in that ear, he said not necessarily.  It would eventually reach a plateau and there's no way to predict where that will be.
5. He is optimistic that I will return to teaching.  Just have no way to tell when.  

That's about all I can do for now.  I am dizzy, nauseous, and exhausted.  Also stopped by the school today to pick up some more work.  Good news there is they have hired a retired teacher to come in and work for me.  That should mean he will pick up and do most of the work and all I will have to do is enter grades in our computerized grade system.  We'll see...
