I'm doing better. I still have the dizziness. It comes-&-goes. I've decided it's probably a Meniere's Disease symptom. I go to the doctor if I have something specific I need treated. For example, I had an ear infection a while back & I went in for that. I've had several surgeries over the years as well. Plus I've had 2 colonoscopies!

I actually get a certain amount of satisfaction from the fact that I don't take any medications for anything at all. (I don't know how many near 70 year olds can say that.) And I've pretty-much decided that I'll only continue to live as long as I can do so without a lot of medical intervention. When it gets to the point where I have to have pills or invasive medical procedures in order to keep myself going I'll simply check myself out, so to speak. I'm not one of these people who will go to any lengths to keep living.

I live in an area where there are a lot of older people. And it's fairly common to see ambulances showing up & carting one of the old folks off to the hospital. They get patched back together in the hospital. Then, after a few days, or a week or so, the person is back home again until the next time when they do it all over again until, eventually, they get sent off to some nursing home. I won't be one of those.
