@avmcbellar Hi again, Tony, We certainly never know when or why health challenges come our way! You took such good care of yourself, you now take such good care of yourself, and yet, when your brain signals, bodily sensors don't work right, we don't work right. Yes, simple things become a challenge, and life can change in an instant. Would you have ever believed the changes you have gone through? I know I wouldn't have. I am at least glad that your stomach is doing better and your motion sickness is a bit less from not doing your eye exercises. I hope that you can get your eye surgery to help you. I have become so damn fearful of surgery, but sometimes it does help! Maybe after Covid, you can do your surgery? As far as living without depth perception, my eye doctor is amazed that I never saw double, but my brain adjusted itself to my eye problem. My eye doc also says I see things flatter than they really are, but I don't know the difference! I have always lived with these eyes of mine. I do notice however, that I tend to pour things too full or too empty, drive only locally, as I just don't see space all that well. I stay on roads I know and never drive in darkness. I also grew up with an eye specialist, and did regular eye exercises. I don't remember why! I will look at that VR therapy site again, and see if I can do something without the goggles. Anything to distract from pain! As far as sleeping with a fan, yes, I do, and sleep with icepacks on my shins. Seeing the Pain Doc in a few weeks to see why I have all this new pain, but he does say that sometimes the pain stimulator electricity can cause pain. Oh joy. Anyway, thanks so much for reaching out to me. Mayo Connect has had me meet really good people. That is the one joy of being sick. Nothing else. Love to you, Lori
