Today was Kelli’s appointment with the vestibular therapist to treat her vertigo.
The building, which is part of Holland hospital looks like a normal building that has been flattened, so it appears squat, like a grey pancake. The inside continued the uninspired architecture with the treatment room finished in a dull grey.
The therapist had twenty years experience, so he should know what he’s talking about. He spent a lot of time explaining the condition and the treatment. Then it was down to the action.
First up was the Epley manoeuvre done by the professionals. We had done this so many times we we thinking of changing our names to Mr and Mrs Epley Manoeuvre.
It confirmed that she still had vertigo, meaning what we had done several weeks ago hadn’t worked.
The procedure was almost the same as we had practiced, we allowed a good minute between the different stages, so we were disappointed that we hadn’t got it right.
After an unpleasant re-run of the manoeuvre, Kelli had to repeat the careful head movement restrictions for another day.
She got five further appointments allocated, meaning if at first you don’t succeed, you have to go through it all again.
