Interesting that a lot of us here have problems with spelling and finding words. I find myself looking for some common sayings or words, and I often find myself asking others (usually people I feel comfortable with) what is it I'm trying to say or what is the word I am looking for? I asked my psychiatrist about this once, and he said it could be my medication. I have always thought he was right, but it makes me wonder after reading this. I have a theory also that I have problems with words when I feel stressed because sometimes I feel on top of it. Who know? These ANs are a "head trip".

I'm 9-10 weeks post op and my dizziness and foggy head has increased the last week....I think it's been a combination of a cold I've got and the weather where I am. I notice that when the humidity and heat are up....I'm all over the place with my balance and my head is not so clear....

I am having my second MRI this week and also seeing the ENT and having hearing checked. 6 months from diagnosis and I'm praying it isn't growing.

Glenda -

I'm wondering how things went with the ENT. Can you give us an update?

It's probably a little early for the results of the MRI, but I just wanted you to know I'm thinking about you and hoping the results are good.

Hi Jan

Thank you so much for caring! I got really good news! The growth over the 6 month period was only 1/2 mm. I am going to stay in the watch and wait group. Since I was told there was little to no chance of keeping my hearing due to the location, I can now have time to enjoy the hearing I have for awhile. I am going to send my MRI to Dr De La Cruz at House for his advice. Due to what I have read on this forum, I am guessing he will advise that I can wait a year before having another MRI. As far as my hearing, it had worsened, but only slightly so I am happy with the results. We have planned a vacation to the mountains in Gatlinbug TN for November, I will celebrate my 50th birthday, (don't know where all those years went). Inside I am only 25.

We did not want to plan any type of vacation not knowing if I would have to make a decision on surgery. So we can now look forward to a new granddaughter coming by the 1st of October and then a nice vacation in the mountains where we can relax by a burning fire while it is cold outside. The temperatures here are in the upper 90's and low 100's and I am so looking forward to some cooler days.

Thanks again for asking!

Glenda -

I'm so glad to hear your MRI was good! The new granddaughter on the way and your upcoming vacation sound wonderful too!

It's great to hear that things are going so well for you - I hope that continues

Thanks for the update,

Hi Glenda! Good news! I`m W+W also. You never know inf an AN will stabilize. There are some on record which do not requiring treatment and with yours as small as it is with minimal symptoms at least have this option to give that a chance. I wish you the best! Mickey P.S. I`m in the same boat

Hi Mickey!

Would it not be the "most Wonderful thing if our AN's decided to stabilize". That would be Great. Good to hear from you and I'll be watching your progress too. Together we'll all get through this
