Still here

Just wanted to pop in and say hi - not much new stuff to report on the acoustic neuroma front right now. Things are feeling pretty good.

Thanks for the support

I went to my third ANA D.C.-area support group meeting this past Saturday. The date was exactly three months post-surgery, and the people at the meeting were quite amazed with my progress. It was nice to have come full circle, from being newly diagnosed at the first meeting to being a week away from surgery at the second meeting to being pretty much fully recovered at the third meeting. I am planning to continue to go to most meetings in the future, at least for awhile, because I think it's helpful for newly diagnosed people to hear from others who've been through treatment and have only relatively minor issues.

Another thing about SSD

You know when you're on the phone in a loud place and you plug your other ear with your finger so you can hear better? Now I don't have to do that since I'm not exactly getting extra sound in that ear anymore.
