Hi all! I am finally starting to feel better!! For the first two weeks back home, I was having intense pressure headaches as my head readjusted from the lumbar drain. It was excruciating just getting up from bed and then getting back in. That is finally feeling better.
I also got a muscle relaxer which has helped with moving my head and neck so I’m not so stiff. I’m starting to feel less robot-like. Kyl and I even went for my first walk outside today! That felt like big progress.
My face is still not functioning, which is frustrating. Next week I have an appointment with the ENT surgeon and we’ll discuss it along with a hearing test to see if there’s anything left on the right side.
Recovery is slow, but I’m so happy to finally feel more like myself!
