Hi I know this blog is supposed to be about Bryce, but today I am asking that an and everyone pray for me....
Aside from just finding out I have an ulcer, yesterday morning around 3am I was woken from a sound sleep to the room spinning, and my ear ringing SO LOUD it was unbearable. With in 5 minutes of being awake I was so dizzy I couldn't walk and I went 100% deaf in my right ear. I tried to ignore it and started off to work. I got in the shower got the kiddos ready, dropped them off to the babysitters and started my drive to work, (which I should not have been doing being dizzy). While driving on the highway my symptoms worsened significantly.... I realized that although I thought I was driving in a straight line, I was actually in a totally different lane than I thought. It was at that point I decided it was time to not drive anymore so that I didn't kill or injure someone or myself. I of course started panicking because I was so dizzy and couldn't hear anything. I had my papa take me to the ER. All kinds of tests were performed and they diagnosed me with Meniere's Syndrome, they sort of controlled the dizziness temporarily and discharged me. They told me to go see and ENT, so I called DR Sillmans office (crying of course) and they got me in right away. I went straight in for a hearing test, they did with electricity instead of sound. I of course heard NOTHING.... The audiologist came in and said "It's not good". I then went in to see the doctor and he told me there was absolutely NO electro response in my ear what so ever. He also said "this is not good" He then proceeded to tell me that I may never hear again and the dizziness may never go away. He started me on mega meds and said "I'll cross my fingers, that's all I can do"........
Now I know things could always be worse, I could be deaf in both ears or have some life threatening disease or whatever, BUT this is one of the MOST devastating things to happen to m, I could hear and function on Thursday, on Friday GONE! I don't know how I am going to learn to deal with this..... (Just talking about it is making me cry) how am I going to care for my kids if I can't even walk? Or hear? Or turn my head? Or any of the things I have taken for granted..... ITS NOT FAIR! why is this happening to me? What did I do so wrong to deserve this????? ??? SOME ONE PLEASE TELL ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't steal, I don't drink, I don't do drugs, I take care of my kids , I work I do all the things I"m supposed to do... WHY ME! Why not the person who abuses their kids or steals or does drugs? Why me??????????????????????????????????????? WHY ME?
