Thank you for sharing. I had surgery in June 2018. Lost hearing in right ear. Got Phonak hearing aides. Right aide tells left side what it hears. I'll hear sounds and not know where it's coming from. Life has certainly changed for me. Lots of dizzy floating days.. Through everything I am thankful to still be here. Things that used to be fun, seem to be a struggle at times. Went back to work 3 days a week. 4-5 hour shifts. Energy level has been affected. Really wish I had someone to share these symptoms with who has experienced them as well. Some days the balance can be a real struggle. Is it possible to have symptoms worse than ones from the beginning. I have had good days, don't get me wrong. I refuse to let this new way of life defeat me.

I had brain tumor removed Aug 2018. I have lost vision in my left eye. I struggle with dizziness and balance and double vision. Some days are good but other days I struggle. My energy still hasn't returned to normal. I am taking one day at a time and just thankful to be here. I still have 15% of the tumor left due to it being wrapped around my carotid artery and optic nerve so this is my new normal.
