It's over....but when is it over?

I've been doing the balance exercises that they gave me before I left the hospital.  I did see a physical therapist before surgery and they told me to call when I return home so that I can get started with them.  I just need to make that call.  I guess I better get on it if I want to feel better.

Doc appts went well.  They are pleased with my recovery so far.  Stitches were removed..yay!  Like everyone else, they tell me to be patient.  If my balance is not significantly better in a couple of weeks, they recommend balance therapy.  Still no hearing in AN ear, but said it was full of blood and could take a few weeks for the body to re-absorb it.  Scheduled for a hearing test in 3 weeks.  So all in all, I guess I have nothing to worry about....not that that will stop me (ha).  I'm really trying to stay positive, but seem to have a daily "melt down".  It did help to see the doctors were not concerned with anything yesterday, so I will continue do what I have to do to get through this.

Glad your appts went well.

You'll find for a while that some days are one step forward and two steps back, but in time you'll "get there".

Best,

Thank you for sharing your experiences so soon after this life-changing surgery.  It really helps us who are waiting to start treatment.  We can do this!
If I may add, after my husband's quadruple bypass/aortic valve replacement, I wondered if he would ever  be strong and life would ever be good again.  He is strong today and life is pretty good!
