I feel like I need to write a post about all the good things since surgery....so here goes(There are many more then I put on here, these are just a few).
Before surgery, I was couch bound all day...I was in so much pain from the migrianes and left with no energy left. My house was a disaster cux I couldn't clean or stay on top of anything! Now after surgery my house stays clean and looks great! I am able to walk, run, listen to the radio, and even be around noise (most of the time) with out getting a migraine! Ive only had 6 migraines in 11 weeks where I WAS having numerous migraines a day. If you are a Chiarian you know how painful these headache are, so you know how much it means to me to say they are almost gone! Woot!
Before surgery, I could barely send out a text message or type on the computer because my fingers never seemed to listen to my brain. Now after surgery my fingers do what my brain tells them to do!
Before surgery, I was experiencing dizziness and numbness I'm my hands and feet, that is no longer the case! My hands and feet feel amazing!
After surgery there were weeks were I was averaging about 8 hours of sleep a week, and now I am happy to announce I am back up to 6-8 a night! WOOT HOOT! Now that is something to yell about!
I can breath better now, before I was having issues and now I seem to be fine!
I generally feel a ton better then I did before surgery...my body, brain, and mind. I feel new and I am loving it!
There are things that are still difficult but I really believe that it will all go back to normal as well, everything seems to be on the path to improving. I am positive and grateful that I had this surgery done! I feel like a better person, this has allowed me to see things in a different light. I Thank God everyday for the time he has granted me and I also thank him for ACM cux without it I wouldn't be who I am today.
If any one has ACM and would like to email me you can do so at TGreuel@consolidated.net. Anytime!

11 weeks and counting!
Sorry that there haven't been any updates in a while! Everything has been a bit overwhelming so I felt the need to take a step back for awhile.
It has been 11 weeks since surgery and I can honestly say I feel a ton better then I did before!
I am not gonna sugar coat this tho, the reason I needed to take a step back is because things seemed to be going back to the way they were before surgery a bit.
1-Ive started to have migraines again...not like before but they seem to be worse then they were before at least for now, they leave me completely...completely couch potato material. I have only had 6 migraines so far and only 4 of them have been in a row, so I am still blessed to have had such little in 11 weeks!
2-The pressure that builds in my head when storms come is unreal, the doctor says its normal to have increased pain and pressure the day before,during, and after a storm. I guess I am the weather guru right now seeing that I can feel the rain before it gets here. After all the storms lately I am so so ready for all the nice weather to get here so I can stop feeling like poo! Arent we all ready for nice weather!?
3-I feel better then before surgery but I still feel like crud most day...or should I say not normal, not like myself...its been hard to adjust to...everybody expects me to be 100 percent better(including me) and its not happening. Big let down there!
4. Headlights at dark still seem to affect me alot except Its become almost unbearable, guess there is a trip to the eye doctor sooner then we thought!
Now on an upper note ...I have met some FANTASTIC people who I am so grateful god has allowed me to find! (To you girls that sat around the table and listened to me....I thank you all so much!)
Things have been going well besides the 1,2,3&4 (lol) like my hair has grown back 3 inches! It looks insane! My scar is still sensitive but looks really good! My head only hurts 30 percent of the time! :) I can hear and see again so the whole world is a ton better lol.
Thank you all for reading, praying, and keeping me in your thoughts! God has gave me so much strength through all this, I feel like I could tackle the world right now!
I wont be getting on here weekly for updates anymore unless something changes but I will try to update monthly for all you ACM people!
