mrissaI 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.

Date: 2008-03-17 10:29 pm (UTC)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.

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

Re: Good for you!
Date: 2008-03-17 10:50 pm (UTC)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!

Date: 2008-03-17 10:54 pm (UTC)Let me think, now: is this a misuse or hyperbolic use of the term?
No. No, it's not.
--existential crisis I walked around in for several days when my beloved math teacher first communicated to me the idea that one infinity could be larger than another.
It really was a kind of critical conceptual distress. I was very sensitive to things like that in my early teens.
Of course, after I got over it, I took a lot of pleasure in inflicting at least a flicker of the same earth-shattered distress on other people, as often as I could find an opening to do so.
