Back to "normal"

My audiogram at my appt yesterday showed that the hearing level in my diseased L ear is now equal to the not so great R ear.  The lower tones that are reversible have improved.  The upper frequencies (female) are forever
impaired.  That's what the hearing aids are for. 
I have had a couple of vertigo episodes but I am able to correlate them with a high salt meal eaten out.  So, that's under control too. 
The tinnitus is constant.  Doc says it is permanent, a result of damage that has occurred and is not reversible.  Oh well, it could be worse.
BP was 98/50.  No changes in the diuretic.  Doc commented on how dry my skin was.   I'm an old dried up piece of leather.
Next appt is in 6 months.    That may be my last if we move.
