Hello, it's been awhile since I've been on here, thought I would update you on how I've been. My surgery was in late Feb, and now I'm happy to report great progress. As of June 1, I got completely over the depression, and dependancy on pain killers. April and May were very dark times for me. I feel almost as normal as before surgery now, with the exception of the bruised nerve in my hand that will not get better! They say give it time, so......
I have noticed that when I drive my tractor, even with my earplugs in, I don't feel well at all in the evenings, ears ring, and buzz, and headaches. So, I quit for a few days, and it gets better. To much bouncing around I think. I'm getting more ringing and buzzing now, 4 months after surgery. Normal ?
I was hoping it would quite down by now. In resturants where there clanging, and banging dishes and silverware around, I just have to put in my earplugs! I can't take it. How long before I get over this? I feel my best when I'm out walking in the quite evenings. August 7 I go in for a dredded M.R.I. I'm trying not to think about it, but did have a bad dream the other night related to it. I have to take 3 Valiums before they can get me in the darn thing! There's only a 10-20% chance my M.R.I. will show a regrowth, so wish me luck in August! Take care all.
