At the hospital for my out-patient appointment with the ear/nose/throat specialist at Toronto East General Hospital, 1 week after my trip to the E.R.:
ENT: We need to send you in for a hearing test and an MRI scan. Hearing test tomorrow, then you come and see me, then we'll schedule the MRI. The fact that you had benign positional vertigo before and now this is a little...weird.
Me: But...when?
ENT: Maybe May 9th. Depends on what we find.
Me: (doing quick calculations in my head: if they find something, and they have to do anything serious, can I still go on my honeymoon?) Um...okay?
With that, I was ushered out of the tiny ENT office which, I swear, was the size of a long walk-in closet. They scheduled my appointment for 1:35 p.m., but I was waiting for nearly an hour and a half. On top of that, I was swept into the ENT room while another patient was there, getting her results. I could hear (yes, I can hear!) everything the doctor was telling her. Isn't there supposed to be some kind of doctor/patient confidentiality thing? I didn't need to hear all that.
I hate being not sick, but broken nonetheless. I just hope it's nothing more serious...because I don't care what's wrong, I'm having my wedding!

Focus on staying well and healthy without doing anything too new or drastic (ie taking up jogging). Balance yourself with relaxation and rest to offset the craziness of wedding day count-downs! Don't forget to delegate!
Why would you listen to someone who has visited the ER as often as you have. Plunge hastily into new activities - like me! The ensuing sprained ankles and scraped knees will be hidden by your fluffy, white dress, anyways.
