Life As It Will BE

I have reached the conclusion that I feel where I am, is where I will be as far as my vision. there are a way lot of adjustments that will need made and somethings will just be. Having one eye poses alot of depth issues and others like running into things. Things you don't even think about.
My right ear being sealed off just made the deafness more perminent!!!;
My upper body is weak but I have exercises to strengthen and manipulate them more.
my lower body is still somewhat off balanced and i am not very sure of my footing other than flat straight spots in the house.
My shunt would have hopefully got rid of this..........It did just not all the way.
So being outside is just so iffy right now,............with the ground being so unlevel.

4 Things I can be greatful for: LESS DIZZY,NOT VOMITING,STAYING AT HOME BY MYSELF

The biggest problem I see is my Depression. After laying in my bed for 6 months with loss of appetite and dizziness finding it to be my place of comfort. I have fallen completely out of sync with love, life and laughter. Life is all boring to me. Everything is overwhelming, and the simplest project seems so big.THERE IS SO MUCH I WANT TO DO AND CANT YET!

I Must be in the valley, going through all of this for a reason-I don't know-
The bible tells us that even in those times praise Him and I do...things are just really hard right now.

I would appreciate you comments thouhgts and prayers. I have to get better than this.

Much Love To All

Shunt Surgery

I had a Brain Shunt put in on March 31st. We are hoping to get rid of the dizziness I am experiencing. It is better but not gone. I am trusting that the fluid will even off and I will feel better. I have lost alot of weight due to no appetite, I am watning my appetite to come back. It is causing me alot of problems. I have also lost alot of muscle not being able to move around for 6 months due to dizziniess. That is all for now.
