Dr.Jekyll

Humph

Well that's the word I've decided to write

But my brain is thinking more like

*#!@*

teehee

I overdid it again and took a few steps back in my healing

I decided to clean and the vacuum kicked my butt

Then I decided to be brave and try sleeping in bed

And it was like I did back flips and lost a month in my progress

So I'm back to the recliner with no desires to be in bed for 10 years

But in between this chicken dance called healing I've discovered something

Every single thing is an opportunity to learn

By afternoon if I'm tired I reverse sentences

I forget things. Lots of things.

Or forget words and then I use charades or use the spanish version

And that's ok because my non-spanish speaking hubby knows what I mean

My family brings math games and patiently waits while I figure it out
The therapist says to talk alot to recapture thinking and language
(well talking isn't a problem...shutting up is)

I've discovered that too much activity or noise around me

makes my head feel weird

If I'm driving with the hubby and there's too many cars, people, etc

I have to shut my eyes and muffle my ears

It's official...I'm destined to be a hermit

But I've also discovered the Brain Aneurysm Foundation

and I have to tell you I am so relieved all this is normal

and relieved that I am one amazingly lucky being

there is so much more that goes wrong...
Like thank God it didn't pop
And thank God I haven't had the side effects from surgery

What I deal with are minor things that I find more intriguing than bothersome

And to my knowledge I haven't suffered any personality changes

Like becoming Dr.Jekyll/Mr. Hyde

 ....to my knowledge...

teehee

But I have to add
that I keep sending prayers to those going through the hard times
and their families...may they be patient
