Cyndy's Journey - February 5, 2013

We just returned from the first physical therapy appointment. The young lady who took care of Cyndy was great. She listened, asked lots of  questions, and answered all the questions we asked. She was  able to tell a lot about what was going on with the dizziness by observing her eyes.

One of  the things she saw has to do with the ear canal. She explained a simple  head movement maneuver that is know to be extremely successful for this particular problem. Cyndy agreed to give a try. Heather, the therapist, said her eyes indicated some problem in the left ear canals, but likely a greater problem in the  right.

 

She performed the treatment for the left ear first. Cyndy experienced the  expected dizziness. She moved to the right side. The expected dizziness was extreme. She rested for a few minutes after which Heather asked if she  could  do the maneuver one more time. She promised it would not be as bad the second time. She was right. The dizziness was greatly diminished.

We have scheduled appointments for the next three weeks. The appointments will be on Tuesday and  Thursday afternoons. She also has an appointment this coming Thursday to begin working on balance issues. The ear canal thing she addressed today will be re-checked. Heather also told  us all the appointments  may not even be necessary.

She came home with a bad headache, but it is letting up. Thanks again for all of  the prayers and support coming out way.

P.S. By the time we left, I learned that Heather attends the United Methodist Church in Kearney.
