Valerie Allen Sue, going fairly well. I am up to walking outside around 20 minutes per day (not at one time). Sleeping decently. Taking naps about half the time. I lost my appetite a couple weeks ago - not right at first- and getting tired of the same bland foods but not tempted by other things! Weird. But doing ok!
Daneen Douglas Got my surgery 3 weeks ago today! Prayers for a successful surgery.

Daneen Douglas Valerie, my appetite is not very good and I’m nauseaus sometimes, probably due to the stupid vertigo. Only a couple things sound good and I really have to force myself to eat. I’m not complaining though. Like you I’m not being temped, lol!

Hey Tracie - One more add. You've probably seen the buzz about having a recliner ready at home for your return. I cannot advocate enough how helpful a power recliner is to have on hand for sleeping the first few days/weeks! You can rent if needed, as I did, from a medical supply store.
