where is all the help they said i would get

[Kate B]

OK my wonderfully supportive AN family here is my "brag board photo" of me cycling with no hands 6 months post op at age 44.



I was able to do this “no hands trick� for only 20 seconds but hey I have come a long way from 6 months ago when I had to use a walker… and then when I did walk I was like a drunken sailor in the wind with my eye patch. Eyelid and balance works now … not sure what will happen in the ole facial palsy recovery though.

Nevertheless I was so thankful to be able to go with my family on a little bike trip.

HEALING DOES HAPPEN!

Keep moving forward,

Awesome picture!!!!

20 seconds...Many people without AN surgery would not be able to ride hands free for 20 seconds.
You have come a longggg wayyyyy.

Your picture is truly an inspiration.

Great picture!!!

Its good your getting out and doing things, thats what makes our balance better .. just think like a kid.. whats do young (pre-teen) kids like to do ? .. run and play! .. gym bars in the playground etc... watch a very young baby learn to walk .. we do the same learnings once our balance is "new" .. remember we have the same balance tools of after sugery.. just our brain and "learned" to deal with it . we have to practice!.. "biking" "Kayaking" "walking" "run" etc ...

ps .. I'll try for a picture of me Kayaking once it warms a little

Oh, that was worth it!    What a great shot, and a nice setting too. Balance, shmalance, that looks downright athletic to me!

It is great to hear how tickled you are by this accomplishment, you really are recovering well.

Let the healing continue!
