Been a long time since my last update. Lots happening. I'm pretty much back to normal. My face is back to its normal ugly mug. If anything there is a slight tightening on the AN side. Not absolutely symmetrical but close enough that its hardly noticeable. Some synkineses...when I eat my left eye tears and my nose starts to run...have to eat with an extra napkin. No headaches still...couple of normal ones is about it in the last few months. Very rare to have any wonky head. If it happens at all its usually accompamying a head cold. I do notice that my surfing has suffered a bit. I think that's because my balance was better pre-surgery except that i would occasionally lose it completely. That doesn't happen anymore but its not as good as it was before when it was good....if that makes sense...
Back to work...very happy about that...being productive is important. I have a ton of things to catch up on. Finally starting to get back in shape...joined a gym, working out at least 3-4 times/week, surfed for 5 hours today in rough conditions and big waves....sore tonight but its a good sore.
Hard at work planning CCBC #3...going to be BIG this year...we're hoping to raise $100,000...setting our sights high. Can't wait to paddle this year. Going to be as meaningful to me as the 1st year to step ashore.
I just read through all the responses in this post. What a wonderful caring community. I couldn't have done this without all the wondeful support. My best wishes to all of you...hope you all realize your dreams.
