A "Eureka" moment

Just had to let you know that I had a "Eureka" moment today. I just realized that it's been 3 months since the last time I've had a migraine. I totally can not believe it. For the last 2 years I never went more then 3 weeks without one. How awesome! And to think Dr. Pirouzmand told me that if I was having this surgery to make my headaches better I was out of luck. I knew he was wrong then and as the expression goes "proof is in the pudding". I really have so much to be grateful for!!!

Something is going on with my tongue.

Finally a long over-due post. There still is not a whole lot new to report. Still dealing with the dizziness, nausea and fatigue. I am trying to get out and walk more often, which definitely does seem to help. It's really strange as when I walk and especially when I get my heart rate up my dizziness gets a lot worse. I'm always glad I have the stroller in front of me that I use to keep my balance.

I do have something exciting to report and that is about my tongue. It's a good-news/bad-news thing, but ultimately it will be good news. The good news is that I'm starting to get some feeling back in my whole tongue. That bad news is that it feels really weird/awful. I'm not sure how to describe the feeling but the best I can say is that it feels like when the dentist's freezing is coming out, combined with a metal taste. I actually prefer it to be totally numb, except that this means that it's on the road to recovery. Still no sign of any tears in my eye, but hopefully that will be in the "works" as well.

A little setback.

I don't have much new to report. My healing is going well from my gallbladder surgery. My abdomen is still a little tender, but not to the point that it slows me down. I have had a little setback in my recovery from the Acoustic Neuroma surgery. I'm not really sure why, but in the last week I've been much dizzier then normal as well my balance has been really off again. I at first thought it might have something to do with my cycle as I had mentioned it to Jeff last month as well. I did send a message to Dr. Chen's office and they said that they haven't heard of this with other patients. Having said that, they also said it wouldn't surprise them. Either way I'm stumbling around again and it's quite annoying. I find that the hardest thing for me to do is to hang laundry on the line outside. I guess it's a case of looking at all the colours and then also looking up makes me crazy dizzy to the point that I almost fall over. It's all good though, as the more I challenge myself to do those things the faster my brain will adjust.
