After three weeks in the hospital my release to rehab hospital dizzy stagger was the norm. Some of it was attributed to otosclerrosis and/or brain damage. It turns out that I have lost 96% of the hearing in my left ear due to the damage. Physical rehab has a technique where in using a manipulation and head spin your ear can be put back into balance. Doesn't heal your lack of hearing but it helps restore your balance. Through Qigong experience I did it myself. The inner ear was put back in order while the cochlear damage remains.
But imbalance comes and goes. A stiff neck, looking up pulls the trigger. Spins and a stagger. Not always. Unexpected!
Today I passed a bicycle rider examination. Becoming so out of shape and tired and dealing with the excess of brain drain days I do need this. Build slowly. Always wear a helmet. Don't push myself. I plan to hit the road about the home until it gets easier. When it does I will head down to rail trail. Scenic riding, paved trail. I haven't ridden in two years. It's a hopeful feeling.
Hopeful!
