Yet another recovery - This time, unexplained Vertigo

Was pretty busy yesterday, studied a bit for work.

Today I had a talk with my boss who is kind of angry about me being sick for long... he even mentioned he might be looking for a replacement for me at least for a while, while I'm sick... which means that even if I come back my position would be different... which makes me angry... On the other side I can understand him, there are some new products that have to be introduced to customers and I, who was supposed to start introducing them already, still not familiar with them. He is loosing time and money because I am sick. What I liked about my position is that I can do whatever I want as long as I do all the tasks on time. Meaning I can meet with any costumer at any time, as long as I do the regular meetings with them and make sure they pay their bills on time. I like being able to make my own schedule and meet with friends in between meetings. If this freedom will be taken from me I will probably quit the field at all. This job was the only thing that kept me in optometry.
This whole situation makes me feel bad and angry and sort of unmotivated to do anything... not even watching movies or listening to music. I just pet my cat....

Oh, I'm sorry about that. It's not nice that your boss was angry at you for something you can't control. How's your recovery going?

He is not really angry at me, mostly at the situation. He made it clear that he has no intention to fire me and he is giving me all the time I need to recover, but he can't promise I'll be back at my current position, probably more paper work.

The recovery is going ok... I can read, I can use my progressive glasses now, which is much more comfortable at home than contacts. I still do things very slow. I can get up of bed without my head spinning, which is a great improvement. Sometimes it is easier to find the floor with my eyes closed because when I look at the floor without glasses I can't see where it is. It is funny because even people with poor eyesight can function well in their room and can "see" where the floor is because they know the connection between what they feel and what they see and stuff.... I can't see the real distance between things I see blurry... it is a different type of blur I am not used to still. I am more dependent on having a good eyesight now, I'm fine with reading without glasses, but everything further than arm's length I can't say the distance of it, when not looking and trying to walk around my room I can say much more accurate where things are, it is like that part of the brain is already working right. However, stairs are still a problem, the only thing that doesn't work that way is the stairs. Eyesight is my issue so I notice much more changes. Also when closing my eyes and moving fast (like getting up of bed) I loose my place, it is not like everything is spinning, it is more like teleporting an inch away... so the issue is not really the eyesight, it is the balance, but the brain turns it to eyesight issue because everything is blurry and the brain can't fix it by its' own. It is too complicate to explain.
I can't say my hearing didn't change, but it is like changing the type of headphones, you still hear everything, but slightly different, although still good. If I only had my keyboard I could try to compare. Hearing is much less an issue, although the doctor said it might be...
Still can't move my head fast, like when something happens somewhere and your reflex is to look that way, it makes me sick.
My appetite is almost back to normal.

Thanks for asking. I keep more updates.

Ah, I see. I'm glad he's not firing you because that would be very unfair.

It sounds like things are getting better for you! Hopefully the rest will sort itself out eventually!

Thanks!
Indeed it is pretty fast recovery. I didn't finish the recovery for my leg yet, and here is another thing to recover from...
Having a bad balance is putting pressure on my injured leg, so I'm wearing a brace or an elastic tape on my knee all the day. I even taught my housemates how to put the elastic tape on a knee.

A few minutes ago I woke up to use the bathroom, got up too quick and felt sick. I got scared of fainting, my heart is still beating fast and I can't get to sleep.

The brace sounds like a good idea! I know what it feels like to be scared of fainting, it's horrible. I'm sorry you're having to go through this.

My housemate's family came for a weekend to stay at our house because there was a bombing threat on the south of Israel. I don't want to speak about politics. Anyways, most of the weekend we spent chatting. Chatting with strangers was surprisingly easy for me this time.
I also helped preparing food and was feeling really good overall.
I did ask for help to watch for me when I shower. Still scared to do that alone.
Had something strange with my left ear yesterday... I heard and felt my pulse in that ear. The strange feeling is still there but I hear well. I hope it is a sign of a recovery.
Planning to do something productive today, still not sure what... too many things to do.

I'm glad that things seem to be getting better for you!

It's been a difficult week both physical and emotional.
A friend, a pretty close one, died in a motorcycle accident. I went to the funeral despite being not in a good physical condition for it but still felt like I have too. Was so drained after that, it took me a few days to gain enough powers to do the basic tasks at home. The awful weather did not help at all.

Just this night felt good enough to do more stuff, like work for example. Still feeling very weak physically. Maybe will go shopping later.
