We had been waiting for this appointment
so we knew it would not be a regular ole day
Woke up extra early and had my outfit ready but, it just didn't look right. I rarely change my mind in the morning
But I wanted to be comfortable and cute
Done.
Had a quick bite to eat and one more cup of coffee
We have lived together long enough to know that when hubby says to leave at 7:30, he might really mean 7:25. As it turned out, I was ready at 7:20 and away we went.
All good
The roads were clear and we made good time and then the sign said keep left and we did and we must have been in the wrong lane to keep left We crossed under Montlake, instead of onto Montlake
But, hubby knew what to do and we arrived at
University of Washington Medical Center right on time
All good
The gentleman doing the testing was Dr. Barry Lia.
He knew his stuff
The first cage |
Hubby in the cage |
Hubby almost in the middle |
At this point Dr Lia explains what will take place in the next cage
Not a life size model, but very helpful
Inside cage two. Dr. Lia admitted that some patients will not even step inside. Once the door closes, it is pitch black. Then you are told what to do ...follow the lights, but do not move your head
The results appear and are printed out |
The next testing lasts for an hour.
And during the hour of watching the middle green dot... |
images came up here and there and are printed out
And during the pauses we had conversations about family, sports and Dr. Lia was very observant.
He noticed my tote bag ( brought along reading material in case I was stuck in the lobby )
He seemed impressed with the felt lining ( chartreuse, not my favorite color ) and did not notice the front of the bag...I'll just turn it over now
The results of this test showed many things...including that all the crystals are in place in Hubby's ears
This would have been an easy fix. But it also showed a few other irregularities that the Vertigo specialist Dr. Rubenstein, will review and share the results with us next week..
And I will share with you
All good
I live an exciting life
