Ballerina with AN

Cindy,

Glad you are doing well.  I left you a voicemail on Sunday night.  Call me in the evening when you get a chance.

I'm glad to hear that the surgery went so well!
Curious how your balance and such is coming along. My sister is writing a novel about a ballerina with an AN as mentioned earlier

The day before I had surgery they did a test to see if the balance nerve was toast- and it was. they told me that was very good news for me, that it meant that I would have less dizziness and fewer balance problems after surgery. They did in fact have to sever that nerve completely so that fact that I was already compensating was a plus for me. I feel a little wobbly, especially when I am tired but I am already wearing heels so all is well. Fatigue is a factor in everything right now- it lessens a little each day.

Hello Cindy,
   Dr. Fukushima was part of my Skull Base Surgey team too.   Surgery was 6 and 1/2 years ago, and I don't think about it very often any more.   Know that your symptoms will continue to improve with time.
Regards,
  Rob
PS: There is a local ANA group for the Raleigh- Durham area that meets quarterly.  It's informative and great fun to talk to others who have gone through the AN experience.  Send me a private note if you would like the email address for the contact person.
