Had my one month check-up today with the neurosurgeon and he cleared me to do most anything now! I can't lift or move really heavy objects or go skiing or snowboarding for 6 months but at least I can drive. That alone will help me feel more 'normal'. I don't have to see the surgeon again until March.
I still have days when I feel completely exhausted but my good days are becoming more and more frequent. Today is the second day that I haven't had some kind of headache. That, in itself, is a reason to celebrate!
Now, I need to see if I can start back to work. I'll just take the days as they come and work as much as my body will let me. I also need to do some Christmas shopping. I've only got 2 1/2 weeks!
I know that my Chiari journey isn't over but has only just begun. I look forward to sharing with you how God continues to heal me and I pray that He will use my experience to encourage others. God is good!
