Today was exactly 1 year from the day I was taken down to the hospital by my neighbors. I will never forget that day as long as I live. Pretty scary stuff.
My recovery took a full 365 days for 100% I have been feeling pretty good for a while, and now the afternoon fatigue has subsided. In other words, no more afternoon naps. ( I think I'm going to miss those!!! )
I have committed myself to a very demanding consulting position with a large manufacturing firm. I have been thinking about this for the last 30 days wondering if I can handle it physically. I have been walking around this very large plant for a few weeks now, and made my decision today to go for it. Large plants require quite a bit of walking and I have been doing my walks all day long as fast as possible as a test to check my fatigue and everything is just fine and dandy! I will not sit at a desk all day and if I have to walk, there will be no hesitation.
There is no doubt that walking and using your muscles is key here. The imbalances of musculature after my surgery seem to have equalized quite a bit in the last few months. It is amazing, it really does get better every day.
I used to hum the Beatles song "its getting better every day"
Now I switched to the Aerosmith song "I'm back in the saddle again"
I am very thankful and now have new beginnings. Also, more appreciation and high value for life. People that have their health usually don't realize how fortunate they are, and yes, I remind them.
Perseverance,faith,adaptability,creativeness, confidence and patience are all needed for success.
