Dizzy prat update

An MRI scan last week and some very odd tests on my balance sensors today. A wierd machine you stand in/on. A harness attached in case you fall and away it goes, the walls follow your movements and the floor moves about with or without you keeping up. A standard hearing test in a booth and then an IR camera mounted in some goggles. The camera pointing straight at my eye and recording the movements there as I followed lights across the wall and then laid back to watch them on the ceiling. Both eyes covered for a lot of it. And then first cold air in each ear separately and then warm air, looking into blackness and being recorded in one eye only with IR camera. Weird!
Problems confirmed and the physio informed. Now 3 to 9 months of head movements to recalibrate my brain to the faults in my ears, as the damage done in there is irrepairable, nice! but at least it will get better.
