Work

I met with my bosses yesterday to decide when I was going to come back to work, my hours, etc. After the meeting, I said I'd stay and work for a while. Little did I know how exhausting it would be. I got there at 9:00 a.m. and by 1:45 p.m. I was completely exhausted. It took a lot more concentration than I've been used to and I didn't even do any work that was taxing! I left there feeling like I needed to sleep for a week.

Unfortunately, this is normal for me. I feel really great when I'm home but once I get out and do something, I get tired quickly. I know that it will take more time to heal but after 5 weeks of being at home, I'm ready to get back to normal. Being able to drive has helped a LOT.

Tomorrow, since I haven't bought anything yet, I'm going to try and do some Christmas shopping. I think I'll limit myself to the morning hours and if I need a nap when I get home, I'm going to take one!

Most of my symptoms are still gone. Headaches are still there most everyday but they move around and are becoming less bothersome. There have been a few times when I've had difficulty swallowing my food or medication but all in all, I feel good. My leg is still cooperating and not dragging so I'm super pleased with that. There haven't been any choking episodes at night so I think that my husband is probably getting a much better nights sleep than he was before. My chronic cough is gone. My scar feels really tight and it's irritating to lay on it but I think that I might get some vitamin E oil to put on it and maybe soften it up. My hair is growing back very rapidly so the scar is less noticeable.

Compared to five weeks ago, I feel terrific. Healing well and enjoying life. I have had an outpouring of love and support from my family, friends and church. What more could I ask for? Nothing! God is good!
