I am a frequent flyer and have never left the ground. It all started 7 years ago when I flew off my bed and the bumpy flight continued as the room continued to spin , had double vision and started crawling, hanging on to the bed post for dear life.

To tell you the truth, I don't even like to fly in a real plane, let alone my brain flying me around the room. The scariest moment in my life.

My body is angry, pissed off...

I went to see a doc and had to love her. She described my body as angry. Loved the expression, never thought of it in that way. And so true. How much can a body endure.

LIving out of focus...

Living out of focus, can't say I recomment it. Ghost images, having to converge things and people, seeing double. All of a sudden I felt like I went from 50 to 80. Having to watch my step, not driving, patching one eye, feeling dizzy. And my face, my beautiful face turned me into a ghoulish girl. I was so drugged and so out of it, I didn't even realize how bad my face looked. It is getting better with the help of acupuncture and the tincture of time. Western medicine is all about the tincture of time.

Easy for them to say.

I have been dealing with this problem for 7 years...i

I have been dealing with this problem for 7 years...every meal was like getting on a ride and feeling like I was going in a circle, or a rectangle. Always anxious to get home to relax. It was a combination of the noise, the lights, people laughing loudly (lucky them), etc.

I pretended that I was having a good time, but my husband and people who knew me well knew how difficult it truly was.

Always anxious for the meal to be over so I go home.

Sometimes my hands would just go up in the air and come back down. After awhile I got use to that since it happened so many times. You actually start to think it is normal behavior.

Many events I would attend and last half an hour and half to leave since I couldn't handle it. I was afraid of going into a spin, dry heaves I saved for the parking lot.

So fun to be with!!!

I can walk 30-40min.s a day for the first time...

I can walk 30-40 min.s a day for the first time. My vision is what I describe as jumping vision so it is exhausting to walk that long. I am practicing for myself and also so I can go and visit my daughter in NYC. You can imagine how much vestibular stimulation there will be walking down the sidewalks of NYC...

Sstarting to hold the phone with my left ear...

Starting to hold the phone with my left ear again. I can't do it completely, but can a little bit.

I keep practicing turning my body to the left also, even though it makes me dizzy. The docs want me to be able to turn left so my body can make a full recovery. It will also help me to walk straighter.

I am feeling better , but I know I still have a long

I am feeling better, but I know I still have a long way to go. I have trouble looking up, easier to look down. My head still hurts, not a headache, but head hurting. My doc said it is because the neurons are still trying to figure out how to adjust from the surgery.

I practice turning to the left , but I must have my head elevated and can't do it for long.

I am practicing turning to the left everyday.

THe doc says this will help my balance get back to normal when I can lay to the left.
