Thoughts: Total instability of my Atlantoaxil junction and misalignment (post aad fusion)

I was discharged from the hospital and after a slow car ride on a bumpy Maumbi road I arrived at the hotel.
After some rest I took my brace off and noticed how asymmetrical my neck looked. For years, prior to surgery I always felt that my head was on my neck crooked and fixated. I always looked to my right a bit better and would have people walk on my right side for that reason. All this time I thought that was just a sense I had and didn’t realize that in actuality I was mechanically misaligned. I imagine it will take time for the adaptation in my muscles to settle and for my eyes and brain to readapt and I’ll be working to rehab my vestibular, vision, brain, and body.
