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.

So true. Everyday is a new adventure. I noticed when the barometric pressure changes, my dizziness is worse. I googled this and it really is something that can happen. A coworker told me about this and migraines she experiences. Life has sure changed. My safe place is when I'm home. The dizziness and balance seem to be bearable at home, if that makes any sense. I'm now having sensations of things trying to heal behind my ear. I miss my hearing the most. My Phonak hearing aides help, but the hearing loss is still a struggle. I am thankful to have this behind me. Just making the most of each day. Just remember you might have a bad day, but a good day is around the corner. Just keep pressing on. Our lives are fleeting.Tomorrow is not promised so make the most of today.
