9 November - Vision and balance problems

Nothing new to report. Physically I'm in pretty good shape - my appetite is good and I can walk reasonable distances.

But I can only go out of the house if escorted by Olga holding my hand - not just metaphorically but literally. I continue to have problems with vision and difficulties with balance if I have to change direction to avoid other people. Without Olga's attention I would probably fall over or walk under the wheels of a car while trying to cross the road. I'm least conscious of these issues when I'm sitting down, at home. It has made me reluctant to go for walks which I really need.

I'm fed up with the feeling that this is all just a bad dream.

  1. Thanks for the update Julian and hope the dreamy feelings lift a bit. Otherwise you sound to be winning.

  2. I feel for you both as we're going through the same thing and there seems to be no way of predicting how you react to all the treatment. Hopefully you will adjust to it enough for the symptoms to subside.
    My husband's appetite and energy are both lowered which means we're not able to enjoy our usual level of activity but we're finding watching our favourite DVDs and listening to music offers good distraction. Try plan some treats for the weeks ahead too. Even if you have to rearrange them, it's good to have things to look forward to.
    All the best.
