Meniere's vs. the Zoo!

I did it.  I made it through!  Whew...now I'm beat and would've slept all day if the kids weren't off from school.  It was all worth it though.  We went to the zoo yesterday and had a great time.  I tell ya, Easter Sunday is the time to go.  If you get there near opening time, you have the place almost to yourself for the first couple of hours.  The extra trick for this zoo is to take the tram to the middle and do the far loop first.  So off we went to Africa.  Saw an elephant drinking water.  Two enormous rhinoceroses (rhinoocerosi?).  Moved on through the various baboons, gorillas, etc.  Got to feed giraffes-very cool.  And so on.  I took lots of breaks and had to take a total of 4mg of Valium between about 9:30 and 1:00 before I finally seemed to feel steady.  Also, had to take my second dose of Klonopin a little earlier than usual but it all worked out.  The kids had fun.  The weather was perfect.  They are already looking forward to next year's Easter visit when they will have their lemurs exhibit ready. 

Final score:  Zoo=1, Meniere's=0.  In other words, that's another win for me and I'll gladly take it.
