Mid fossa next week

I think if you have fewer balance problems before you have compensated less so you have more work to do after the surgery, it will get better.  Keep moving, walking and PT helped me quite a bit.  Wishing you a quick recovery and good health.

Liz,

I do have to realize that if it is surgery that I choose, it's not going to be a good time in my life.  I will have to keep positive and work hard toward recovery.

My dizziness while I'm laying down is different than when I'm just sitting at my desk.  The world does spin but it subsides fairly quickly.  I'm thinking I'm going to ask for that balance test that's done to see if I'm experience a loss already.  I'm pretty sure that I am.

Continue on your road to recovery and try not to let things get you down.

Liz,

If I decide to have surgery, I thought of something that may help with the glasses situation.  I'm going to bring some eyeglass tools that my husband can use to take the left side off of my glasses. 

The room spinning is what I experience at that moment, but can make it go away by keeping my head in a different position.  The other day when I was driving home, I had to really focus on keeping my head still.  My head just had this weird feeling. 

I hope you're doing well.

I have been talking with Steph back and forth and she was telling me about surgery etc. She said there was another person there who had mid fossa and she was doing well. Since I cant wear my contacts I was thinking of how to wear my glasses...LOL. Hearing Stephs story and the other stories have helped me alot. Whatever decision you make we are all here for you.

Sorry Liz. I didnt mean to hyjack your thread. I'm very happy to hear your doing well.

Not at all, Mindy (durr, sorry I mistakenly said Lisa at first)!!  I read your post about the decision-making process and have been thinking about you.  I hope you're doing well.

We took one arm off reading glasses and sun glasses.....still using them both and it works like a charm

I love it! Glad it's working out. I tried that but had some trouble keeping them on my face. I've since read if that happens you can use a little tape to hold them on. I wish I'd read that sooner!
