So, just as my commuting season was about to begin, I suddenly got knocked over by some kind of inner ear infection the ENT doc is calling "labrynthitis." Essentially, for the few hours I am able to get up from my bed, I stumble around like a drunk, unable to maintain my balance, constantly at risk of crashing to the floor. They tell me it's a 6 to 8-week recovery, but that I should start seeing improvement "sooner."

My question: Has anybody here experienced this horrible condition? And can I realistically expect to get on a bicycle anytime soon? It's been eight full days at this point. I can barely hold my head up, can't drive a car, and am constantly nauseous, but all I care about is when I will be able to ride.

PS: Not looking for a Pity Party here. I really just want to plan my next few weeks!
