Hi Marty84, and thank you for posting your experience here on the ANA Forums. You may be surprised at the number of people who will read your post (though most will not respond).
My Vestibular Therapist would do periodic testing on my progress. I had to learn not to base my progress on my feelings. Sometimes I felt like I was not making any progress, sometimes I felt I might be doing a little better, and sometimes I felt like I was doing worse. And all of that might have been true because our progress is rarely in a straight line. We might have good days and have bad days.
But I learned to leave the results of my progress with my vestibular therapist. The first day I saw her, I fell several times (fortunately, I had a safety harness on). The last time I saw her, and she tested me, she told me that my balance was actually better than most people my age. I had improved immensely. However, I did not always feel like I was progressing.
So, I just want to encourage you to continue. I will be interested on seeing your post in another few months of how you are doing with your balance.
Best wishes with your therapy!
Don
