Information Needed!

[Dmom3005]

Doc John

I'm having trouble finding information specifically related to central abnormalities including slow velocity and prlonged latency with saccades,
abnormal OPK bilateral and low VOR gain.

Thanks for any help you can give. I now this has to do with vestibular
and that vestibular rehibitation is recommended I start tomorrow.

But I would like to understand this more.

Okay just got back from my first day of physical therapy. And I really like my vestibular physical therapist. I got a bonus, seems I was to have two today.
And it was I believe the coordinator of the hospital and the outpatient sides therapists.

So when it turns out that my therapist is heading on vacation next week, instead of just letting whoever has time for me next week. The coordinator
from the hospital will return next week twice to see me.

Now that is what I call dedication.
