Greetings Fellow AN'ers! I just wanted to give everyone a quick update on how things have been going. It has been two months now since my surgery and things are going swimmingly well. I am back to driving, both day and night. And the biggie event is I am back at work again. Tonight, in fact, is my first night (I am at work right now typing this whilst on dinner break!). I work for Intel Corp and work in a clean room with a ton of hi-tech machinery and I must admit walking in there for the first time in over two months was a bit overwhelming. About 2 hours into it I was already ready for a break (which I did take!). I have a lot of training that needs to be done at work so that will keep me busy. Everyone has been very accomodating so that has really helped. My poor overtaxed brain was already wanting to shut down on me those first two hours, so I am now out of the cleanroom for a bit to catch up on emails and even did a little training/reading up on things. Just gotta take this in small doses and not push it too much. The jaw thing that was hindering me eating chocolate truffles during Christmas is now almost a thing of the past. There's a tiny bit of stiffness in it but I don't notice it too much anymore. My balance still needs to iron itself out more, but I am not bouncing off of walls or anything. Prior to me coming back to work I was out every day walking, up to about 4 miles a day, in addition to doing my vestibular exercises. So all in all, I am doing very well! I only get headaches if I have really pushed it hard all day, so I'll probably be taking some Tylenol by the end of the night for that one! Hard to believe it's been only two months, it seems like it's been a lot longer. That's it for now, hope this finds everyone doing well!
Jay
