Here goes.....

For 3 years I dealt with reoccuring world churning episodes of motion sickness. All attributed to an infection in my right ear that destroyed the balance ability... so the doctors thought.

This August 17th, Worst storm ever throwing, heaves, memory loss and complete numbness in my arms and legs.

Ear doctor sent me to the specialist right after, Took alook in my right ear and saw my brain in the ear canal. I was in to emergency surgery few days later. waiting,I lived on pain and valium pills while secluded in my room with the ear sealed. An infection at that point would have gone straight to the brain.

2 brain surgeries later where the doc has repaired the places where my brain has worn potholes or holes in my skull.Hearing has been greatly affected. Waiting for more down the road as this is progressive. Commuting has been gone for 6 monthes now and I have not been to work for as long. Recovery is still ongoing with theropy to teach me how to balance again.

I still believe I will ride again and I plan to !
