Next I meet with Anne, the vestibular therapist, who gives me a series of exercises to do. I keep my eyes on my thumb as I move my head rapidly side to side, then quickly up and down. I throw a ball to her behind my back and as I move my head to look over the other shoulder she throws it back to me. We do this ten times. I feel dizzy, nauseous, and unable to believe that I am to do all of this every day for a month and a half. Anne reiterates what Dr. Collins has told me, that my main job now is to stop making environments accommodate me and to instead increase my tolerance of different environments. When I hit a moderate level of discomfort, it is a cue not to lie down and rest but to switch activities or exercise. Anne is kind, patient, compassionate. She watches me incredibly carefully as she assesses me and develops my program.
