Let's talk about my brain surgery | Vestibular Nerve Section for Ménière's Disease

[@希望あかり]

You are very brave and I will definitely pray for you on May 18. I promise.

[@IncredibleAnyway]

Thank you. That means so so much to me! ❤️

[@toolguy6946]

Good luck my friend I’m praying for you ❤

[@IncredibleAnyway]

Thank you *so so so* much!

[@JanetLMancini]

I wish you the very best, Kelly, with your surgery. Praying that all will go well as expected. Slow and sure wins the race. Fascinating surgery, though.

[@IncredibleAnyway]

Thank you so much, Janet! Thank you for the prayers. It is a fascinating surgery - well put.

[@EmilysLifeOnWheels]

Sending prayers!! I’m really praying and hoping that this surgery is everything you’ve ever wanted & needed and more !!

[@IncredibleAnyway]

Oh my goodness, Emily, you are too sweet! Thank you!! I hope so too! ❤️

[@derikarickman]

I wish you the best of luck on your surgery! Hopefully your balance will be like mine, I was so used to being off balance / vertigo, that when I had my balance nerve removed I was not worse thankfully. I was back to work after 2 weeks of having brain surgery. I did have some complications with the spinal fluid leak but it was quickly corrected and I do not remember much. My surgery was 7am - 730pm. Be very patient with yourself, I wished I had not went back to work so soon and processed my new self. You got this and we are all here for you! Hugs!!

[@IncredibleAnyway]

That would be wonderful if it is not worse for me as well! Wow 2 weeks! That is the fastest I've heard! I'm glad the spinal fluid leak was corrected quickly for you. Thanks for telling me about the length of surgery. It's good to be able give my loved ones a heads up that it's gonna be much longer than 6 hours for example. Thank you so much! Hugs back!

[@derikarickman]

@@IncredibleAnyway you are so welcome. I also messaged you on IG if you want to chat more or questions etc.

[@QueenNoTeetha151]

Wishing you all the best. Have followed you fro quite a while and really wanna see you feeling better with your Meniere's. I have it too but mild so far. Hope it stays that way because I am a big coward when it comes to surgeries! lol

[@IncredibleAnyway]

Thank you! I think you started following me in 2020-ish, right? Unless my memory is wrong. Your screen name is easy to remember! I love see your comments. I'm so glad your Meniere's is mild and I will pray it stays that way. Most people have really good luck with Gentamicin injections and never need surgery, so if it does get worse for you, there are non-surgery options! 💜

[@QueenNoTeetha151]

@@IncredibleAnyway Haha yes that name seems to be remembered! One mad minute of picking a name and here we are! :D I am not sure when I started following tbh. I expect that it right. I think YT randomly showed me a video of you upset after a breakup and I stuck around after that in the hope that your life improved and it did! Yay! Thank you for your kind words and hopeful info. xx

[@deborahbraam2980]

My daughter had DBS (deep brain stimulation) surgery in November. The recovery went extremely well. Discharged directly from ICU. Remain positive….

[@IncredibleAnyway]

I'm so happy that your daughter's surgery went so well!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@EricaDiebold]

You are amazing❤ I keep thinking about the irony of your brain deciding to have brain surgery on itself. I’m praying that your healing process goes smoothly and your symptoms improve ❤❤❤❤

[@IncredibleAnyway]

That is really ironic!! Thank you for the prayers. It means so much to me!

[@hersenwikkelspunteu]

❤❤❤❤❤ you did a great job explaining it all. And please take the time after sergery to get to a recovery level where you feel strong enough to post again. Dont feel guilty when it takes longer then you hoped. You are on place 1 now! I will burn my candle for you i even might buy a special one for this occasion. Any sent you love? How sweet of Shanna to be willing to update us on how you are doing. As i will proberbly worrie a bit during your time "away". Hugs Marloes ❤️

[@IncredibleAnyway]

THank you for burning a candle for me, Marloes. That would mean so much to me! IF you think of it, send me a photo when you do. I wanted you all to be updated so you would not be in the dark wondering how things are going. ❤️

[@jessicabourke1104]

So excited for this next chapter for you. It may be a long road to recovery, but it is going to be so worth it. I’ll be here for you, every step of the way.

[@IncredibleAnyway]

Me too!! Thank you for being there. You are the best! ❤️

[@susanmargaretwills6432]

Hi Kelly from Italy... SEI FORTE! Virtual Hug Back To You🤗🤗

[@IncredibleAnyway]

Thank you Susan!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@hollycostello9396]

You can do this...we are never alone. I'm 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏for you.

[@IncredibleAnyway]

Thank you so much, Holly!!

[@monmur7952]

You got this! Thru the recovery ups and downs, you will prevail!

[@IncredibleAnyway]

Thank you!! 💪🏻

[@FairyGodpa]

Wow, this really speaks to the desperation of your situation that this intensive surgery is your last resort. :( We will be praying for you, lighting candles, sending all of our best blue star wishes your way and for a wonderfully successful surgery and recovery. 💙

[@IncredibleAnyway]

Thank you for the validation and for all your support! I wish something less invasive would've worked.

[@FairyGodpa]

@@IncredibleAnyway I so understand. You have been suffering for so long and you do what is necessary. People still call me crazy for having a back stimulator but it's literally saved my life. It's not just about taking a chance, it's your one chance and I am so crossing my fingers for you! (Btw yay for your store! it looks great!)

[@nowwhat33]

I will definitely light a candle, burn some essence, and pray for you. Good luck 🍀👍❤️. Take good care of yourself. You can do this! Unfortunately I am not on instagram, but I hope to see you back on KZbin some day. Just take your time to heal. ((((((Hugs)))))) All the best!

[@IncredibleAnyway]

Thank you for doing all the things! I don't know if you can see this link without being on instagram, but I'm sharing it just in case. instagram.com/incredibleanyway/ I'll also ask my friend about posting on the community tab. Lots of hugs coming back your way

[@sewingwithsyncope]

Sending you so much love, prayer and supports going into your life-changing, miraculous brain surrey!!

[@IncredibleAnyway]

Thank you!!!💜

[@praisedalord58]

I love you dear friend! I care so very much about you! Please know I’m praying and nothing is impossible with God! Love, Nannette ( your very first subscriber ♥️) 🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️✝️

[@IncredibleAnyway]

I love you too, Nan! Thank you for your prayers. I covet them! ❤️

[@gingerrogers5062]

Oh, Kelly, I do not have Instagram. If possible, please, please encourage your friend to post a little something on KZbin every now and again until you can do so. I will check the community tab for sure. Also, there is no harm and no shame in advising your doctors of your low pain tolerance. They should know about all your difficulty with port placement. There will be days upcoming when you may not feel up to advocating for yourself, but you can do so in advance. An ounce of prevention and all that jazz. Best of luck to you❣️

[@IncredibleAnyway]

Try this link and see if you can see my profile on the internet (not thru the app) instagram.com/incredibleanyway/. I will talk to my friend about a KZbin update too. Thank you for saying that about the low pain tolerance. I have told the preadmissions nurses/physician assistant and I'll be telling the doctors day of surgery. Thank you my friend!❤️

[@helenneemeyer1602]

You’re so awesome! Love that you explained steps of your surgery ! Explained very well! This prayer warrior will be praying that your surgery goes well and you have a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹 🤗 🙏.

[@IncredibleAnyway]

Thank you ahead of time for your prayers. I brings me so much comfort knowing I'm being prayed for. ❤️

[@lynnejames9009]

I will be thinking of you and praying for you.

[@IncredibleAnyway]

Thank you, Lynne!

[@EmilysLifeOnWheels]

Todays may 9th you are currently 9 days away from surgery!! Keeping you in prayers ❤ 1:37

[@IncredibleAnyway]

Thank you for the prayers, Em!!

[@racheljoy1733]

I will be praying for you, my friend!

[@IncredibleAnyway]

Thank you, Rachel!

[@Misanthrope144]

Can I ask you a tough question please Kelly. What will you do if the surgery doesn’t work or help the symptoms ?

[@IncredibleAnyway]

It is extremely unlikely it will not work/help. The surgery has a high percentage rate of success on Meniere's patients. I've had 9 gentamicin injections that chemically kill the communication between the brain and ear and that has helped temporarily to give me complete relief from symptoms until my nerve cells regrew in my ear. So we have proof that stopping the communication between the ear and the brain works for me. Cutting the nerve will give me permanent relief where I've only had temporary relief in the past. If I still happen to have vertigo at the end of healing from this surgery, either Iv'e developed vertigo in my opposite ear, which we have no proof of at this time and is highly unlikely, or the vertigo isn't Meniere's related an we'd have to investigate the cause to treat it.

[@EmilysLifeOnWheels]

Ooh that’s cool that there’s someone that just specializes in this one part of surgery ❤ therapy program ❤😊 6:27

[@IncredibleAnyway]

yes!! It really is!!

[@EmilysLifeOnWheels]

Will you have to do PT/ OT to relearn to walk !! Or do you just do it on your own !! 5:21

[@IncredibleAnyway]

So I have to relearn to walk balance-wise, and that is what the vestibular therapy is for that I talk about a little further in to the video. He is a physical therapist but specializes.
