It's called Ménière's disease of the inner ear. RSKY

The drug injected into my ear is to permanently numb the nerves going from my right inner ear to my brain. The walking is not for exercise, but to train my brain to ignore the mixed signals coming from my right and left inner ear. That is why I must look in the far distance while walking. I can...

My shower is a 1970's style fiberglass one piece unit. (Next big job is to get it torn out and replaced with a walk in unit). When shampooing my hair I put one hand above my head and press on the ceiling of the unit. If I don't I'm afraid I will fall out of the shower. This whole ear problem...

I am supposed to look straight ahead when walking. Doctor's aide said looking down at my feet won't do me any good. I may have to fix a neighbor's mailbox after staggering into it. I think the post was nearly rotted off before I hit it, while walking, I hit it while walking. She is one of the...

I will agree. Now a funny story that you will laugh at. In 2001 my wife had eye surgery. She actually had stitches in four places on her right eyeball. And her face swelled up like she had been hit with a baseball bat. We didn't think anything about it until walking thru Walmart and this big...

The doctor emphasized that I not have a cane or any other support while walking. No canes, no stroller with grand baby in it, no shopping cart at grocery. Went to the grocery and Walmart last night with the wife and I think my staggering around embarrassed her. She finally told me to push the...

Back in the nineties when I was having the same problem the doctor had me stand with my back against the door to the room we were in. Then he had me look him in the face and do the drunk walk towards him. You know heel to toe and so on. I made in fine. Then he put me back against the door and...

I want to apologize for sounding like a little b---ch crying this morning. That is not my usual style. I just had a bad yesterday. Then got up before my wife, fixed some scrambled eggs and stumbled into a door facing and dumped them in the floor. THAT set off my self pity crying party. I know...

I am extremely frustrated and don't want to vent to my family so I am doing it here. Gotta be cheerful and optimistic around the family. I am afraid this constant dizziness and vertigo will be permanent and I will end up sitting on my constantly growing rear end and watching soap operas for the...

There is a letter typed up and put in our bank safe deposit box stating that when our two daughters divide up our estate one gets the amount we are gifting to her deducted from her share. This may have no legal standing but the daughter insisted on it. In the past when one of the two needed some...

The $14M would not be an issue for us. Your reply is what Mr. Google told me BEFORE I even posted the question to TBN. But, I have found that in a lot of different issues discussed here details come out that you cannot hear about elsewhere. Thanks for the reply. RSKY

I have sought advice elsewhere. But this forum has a wide range of people on it and can give advice from different perspectives. Stay on here long enough and you will see everything discussed. RSKY

Thanks for the info. RSKY

How much money can you give someone, or they give you, without them having to pay taxes on it? To cover unexpected expenses that nobody could anticipate. To a family member. RSKY
