Its been 6 weeks as a postie, today I feel pretty normal, I did try tennis the other day and managed to hit the ball if it comes straight to me but not if I have to chase it, I was pretty grim at it before, so at least I now have an excuse.
I had SSD before the op so it doesn't bother me at all, even those surround movies sound good, dont know why maybe my hearing and head gets extra sensitive, like a blind person being able to read braille with just his finger tip. If I shut my eyes in a place I am familiar with you can pin point where sound is coming from. Your head works its all out like a reverse version of those phantom surround speakers where it mimic surround sound only using two speakers. You pick up on all the echos and change in tones to figure it out, like now typing I can hear my kid playing on my right I would put money down saying the sound is coming in my right ear, but i know its not.
Scar is almost invisible now, and I have pretty much a Yul Brenner hair style.
I used to get headaches before the op during overcast days now it seem I get a little bit wonky head when its grey outside, but so far have not had a single major head ache.
Another challenge is rope bridges, pre op i was able to trot across them like a Tibetan mountain goat, now I have to hang on for dear life , but hey how often will I come across a rope bridge on the way down to the supermarket.
I will send some update photos later
