Title: Balance much better now when running
Post by: kenneth_k on May 13, 2009, 11:18:32 am

Hello fellow AN'ers or others visiting this wonderful website.

7 months post surgery, my balance is much better when running. I have minor problems focusing, since my vision gets a bit blurry ::)
But today I ran 11,5 km in less than an hour, and I felt just fine. And I looked quite sober ;) The drunken sailor was no where to be found.

This post is meant to share happy thoughts and to add information to the enevitable question: "How much will surgery influence balance?

Regards, Kenneth

Congratulation!! ;D

Your post was just what I needed as I am having a rough run of some balance issues and blurry eyes and I haven't even had treatment yet.  Glad to see your doing so well and it is alway encouraging to hear that things get better not worse.   
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Kenneth for that good report on your regaining balance control, especially when running!  These kinds of positive posts are most appreciated.  :)

Great to hear, at least on one side. Little SSD joke... ;D.

Kenneth -

this is great news  ;D  Very encouraging for the newbies - and for those of us who have yet to venture into "unchartered territory".

I was a runner years ago and I've been trying to find the motivation to get out there again but always seem to have an excuse   ::)

I guess balance is one excuse I can now eliminate.
