I'm home from the Rehab Center. It is time for re-entry , back to the real world. A month has passed and now I am a different person. Fortunately, I had a lot of visitors who brought dinner, gifts, good cheer. I was nervous about going out to the store which was so overwhelming, eating out where people are laughing and enjoying life. What a concept. It was going to be step by step to readujust. I was using my walker around the house, started physical therapy at home, needed to be watched constantly so I wouldn't fall. The hardest part was waking up in the middle of the night and having a spin. This happened every month for awhile. The docs told me my brain was so traumatized from the surgery that was probably the cause.
I got dizzy in the car, dizzy walking, my head wouldn't turn to the left and I could no longer lay down flat or sleep to the left.
Lots of adjustments to make!
It took me over a year before I started to really feel better and regain my strength...
