I can hardly believe it has been that long. I think the most dramatic improvement has been the last 2 weeks. Yet, it still is slow. I had a crazy nightmare 2 weeks ago that I had to go back in for surgery! It was so vivid. I feel very grateful that my recovery has even pretty straightforward, except of course that I have double vision and a lazy eye. This too, should heal, I can only hope every day.
My hairdresser came to the house and trimmed and colored my hair, which I would highly recommend. I feel like a different person! My low back hurt pretty bad towards the end so I was glad I didn't attempt going to see her. I found a new at-home physical therapist and hopefully will start up again. I am swimming every night, but not normal swimming. I either walk around, tread water, or kick holding on to a deep-end step. Followed with a sit in the hot tub, it feels great.
Sleeping is still a nightmare. Last night I was still wide awake at 2:30am! I finally took a Xanax and fell asleep. I am hoping this starts to get better. I am so groggy in the morning and next week the kids go back to school and I need to be up by 5:45am. Ugh.
Is there still pain? Yes, for sure. It is getting better though. I like your theory of 10 percent a month Ed! I promise, the handicap placard is only for school drop-off and pick-up!i will walk otherwise It is 113 degrees here today, ready for Fall!!
