My vestibular...Yeah, be grateful for your otoliths. My vestibular system is damaged because of a tumor that was growing in my middle ear. So when I have to turn my head, I feel like I'm in a rocking boat. If I'm walking I am at risk of falling flat on my face. I have learned that when I drive, although I often feel that I'm spinning every which way, I can usually trust what I see and the wheels will stay on the pavement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-51770708506023841652008-11-26T17:27:00.000-06:002008-11-26T17:27:00.000-06:00That stuff all happened randomly.

Even though I found it fascinating, I didn't pursue the subject further in college. <BR/> Then I got married and had my first child. When we learned that she had a very rare chromosomal syndrome, all of a sudden, genes, chromosomes and DNA once again became a fascinating subject for me. <BR/> The brilliance behind the design and functionality of our bodies is worthy to be praised in so marvellous a way that we could never praise it enough.<BR/> The human body is truly a temple, indeed. An incredible creation magnificently designed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
