Hej, Helene ~
I'm sorry but sort of impressed to learn that after 3 injections, your hardy balance nerve survives. Even so, most AN surgery patients regain their equilibrium post-surgery with some effort, but usually nothing too demanding. It does take a bit of time for some, but balance is usually recovered. I consider my balance to be about 85% of what it once was. I'm fine in almost any situation but if I trip or stumble, I cannot regain my equilibrium as quickly as I once did. I also have a little trouble walking backwards, down a flight of stairs. Fortunately, I have few, if any, occasions to walk backwards down a flight of stairs - so this is hardly a problem.

Seriously, despite your concerns, I 'm confident that, like most AN patients, you'll be able to regain your sense of balance fairly quickly, post-op.
