Vestibular update!
Good news & bad news .
I learned that for the past 30 years I have only had 8 percent balance in my right ear. Thats correct 92 percent was taken from me in that PE hockey accident in 1994. Which means i been skating for three decades with only 8 percent of what you all have in your right side balance chamber. I am officially an anomaly.
Bad news
I might have ménière's disease! Its hard to get an accurate test due to my complete deafness in the right ear. much like what my friend Caswell went through with his nerve issues I am sadly plagued, by a similar case . Either way this "ailment " has added a burden on the left ear- who has been carrying around mr. Right ear on his back for 30 years . Mr. Right ear got loaded up with lead weights - aka an inflamed Vestibular nerve & is making mr left ear work harder than he already did before hand. Just like caswell the doc ordered P.T. an in my case a low sodium diet. Somedays might be good ,others might be horrific . Even hour by hour can change - my balance, system has bipolar lol. However Cas has proven that skating is good PT for this so i will be incorporating skating into my daily routine 🫡 - no matter how embarrassing nor humiliating it might be to struggle with even the most simple tricks. I am going for it. Because life without skateboarding is just a death sentence. Just like my previous post on this matter - screens / stress & diet are not helping my dizzy spills - so if you need to contact me social media is not the way to do it. I will be phone fasting a lot. So do not get upset if you do not hear back from me. 🫡 thank you for understanding . Big props to the docs who are working on my case. An Cas for giving me inspiration & hope. huge props to Lindsey for helping me on my diet etc.

Since February 12 I have had a vestibular issue. My primary doc sent me to an ENT the ENT put me in a CT scan no brain tumors thank god . Still no diagnosis though- Skating is real hard when you are dizzy but I am still trying. So if you see me skating know that it is super rough on me and I cannot do 99 percent of what I used to execute , so please no requests, thank you though for real I am honored . Screens are death they trigger my dizziness so I will not be on here much ! It could be related to the hockey accident from 30 years ago , that rendered me deaf in my right ear permanently, mastoid- Templar bone fracture- or covid 19 two year ago , or I might become a case study . Either way Iowa needs more docs . If you are graduating college Go to medical school . I been working on this prob now for 3 months and counting and my appointments are super spread out due to lack of medical staff and too many people in need. Big props to all the docs who are trying to fix me. I hope i can live dizzy free at some point - it is off an on daily . Some minutes are fine most hours are bad. Like a roller coaster . Hands down the most brutal thing I have ever experienced . Meningitis , car wrecks the hockey wreck , are nothing in comparison to Living in this turmoil. The only reason that I am going public with this is ,is that i do not want anybody mad at me for not returning their DM.S emails text voice mails , tags , links or anything screen related . Thank you for understanding . I will be at the shop during all biz hours if you need to contact me. My wife and friends are keeping my spirits up comedy , an imagining not skating is not an option so if you see me on my shred sled looking off kilter do not worry I am trying to figure this out one push at a time.
