I have been waiting to pass this milestone for a while because my surgeon said that I would be back to my old self in six months. The good doctor was right.
I no longer have any of the tenderness or nerve sensitivity in my scalp. I still wake up in the morning expecting to have vertigo, but that doesn't happen.
I have driven highway, town, urban, day, night. I have kayked, done some moderately challenging hikes/climbs, ridden a horse and bicycled.
I have also handled escalators, elevators, tunnels, subways, docks, and
floating docks
I even helped my husband carry a 50 year old solid mahogany desk up a flight of stairs. I was going backwards. I did fine though I don't recommend it for its therapeutic value, lol.
I take a pilates class twice a week with an RN who works with those who have assorted health conditions, so that no doubt helps some, so all is pretty wonderful. I wish I had known to have the surgery sooner.
Face muscles are just fine. Still have ringing and dry eye, but those are such very small considerations given everything.
This board made the decision to go ahead so much easier, and for that each and every one of you will always have my gratitude and best wishes.
Hope all here are improving, too.
