Better news

[mrissa]

I am exhausted, chilled, dizzy, a little nauseated, etc. from the PT testing.

But! Butbutbut! Folks, we have non-zero vestibular function!

What this means is that all this is actually doing something. We are getting somewhere. We are getting somewhere with the brain processing middle ear signals, more specifically, and not just with training compensation into eyes and muscles.

It's small, slow, weak, puny. But it's there. Vestibular function. Go me.

WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fabulous!

And in the vestibules of mine ear did pour...

[wshaffer.livejournal.com]

Yay! It's so good to hear some good news on that front!

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Yay progress!

Does this mean you get to stand in the corner?

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Yes! I get to stand in the corner for thirty seconds at a time, twice with my eyes open and twice with my eyes closed, three times a day. Someday maybe I will get to do it for a minute at a time. Possibly on a pillow. But baby steps.

Hooray hooray hooray hooray! Hooray!

You need a lolcat. My vestibular function, let me show you it.

Whoot!

What do you give a girl for Vestibular Function Day?

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Not green beer and not a trampoline. Other than that I'm not picky right now.

(Okay, so I am picky: not a parrot and not dysentery and not....)

[gwynnega]

Great news!

[aedifica]

Huzzah! A functioning vestibule = a working foyer, right? *grin*

[athenais.livejournal.com]

Most excellent. Here's to continuing improvement and the lessening need for a specialized limpet.

[atdt1991.livejournal.com]

Yay vestibular function!

I'm not sure why you need to function in anterooms, but I think it's awesome.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Have you ever tried life without functioning in anterooms? It's awfully inconvenient.

[sethb.livejournal.com]

Non-zero. That's like, infinity percent, right?

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Yes, I have already seen infinite improvement.

We're just hoping for a larger infinity here.

Good for you!

I asked God

I asked God for strength that I may achieve,
I was made weak to humbly obey.
I asked God for health that I may do great things,
I was given infirmity that I may do better things.
I asked for riches that I might be happy,
I was given poverty that I may be wise.
I asked for power that I may have the praise of men,
I was given weakness that I may feel the need of God.
I asked for all things, that I may enjoy life,
I was given life, that I may enjoy all things.
I got nothing that I asked for --- but everything I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.
I am among all, most richly blessed.

(anon)

You hang in there girl. Attitude is everything. Yours' seems to be right on track.

I got nothing that I asked for --- but everything I had hoped for.

Heh. I can go better than that: I got very little of what I asked for, very little of what I hoped for, and a great deal of what I would have asked or hoped for if I'd managed to think of it!

[brooksmoses]

A solution is possible! Yay!

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

One part stubborn, three parts water.

[callunav.livejournal.com]

Awesome.

In an incremental, difficult way, yes. But still awesome.

[apis-mellifera.livejournal.com]

\o/ A winner is you! Hurray! This is really awesome news. :)

[akirlu.livejournal.com]

Go you! The Mris is Mighty!

[ckd]

Go you!

[timprov.livejournal.com]

Can we prove that it's one-to-one? Because I have a sneaking suspicion it might just be a vestibular relation.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

That may have been part of the problem: I suspect it's two-to-two and off-of right now, and we're trying to restore it to functionality.

[stillnotbored.livejournal.com]

Yes yes yes! Wooooo!

[reveritas.livejournal.com]

that's gotta be a relief.

[dd-b.livejournal.com]

Well, so much for any hopes of giving up soon, eh?

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Yes, we have (not completely but substantially) reduced this to a question of Mrissish stubbornness.

Darn.

[gaaldine.livejournal.com]

Oh, lovely!

[voidmonster.livejournal.com]

This is precisely the sort of thing I like to see on LJ.

Hurrah for progress!

[loup_noir]

YAY! Of course, now I have to go look up "vestibular function"....

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

The vestibular system is the inner ear bits that tell you how you're oriented and moving and like that.

[kirizal.livejournal.com]

Progress! Yay! So glad for you.

(Can I fit more exclamation points and sentence fragments in this comment? I don't think I dare to try.)

[kalikanzara.livejournal.com]

Looking forward to seeing you at Minicon.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Definitely.
