Making Progress Since My Accident…
The after-effects of my “accident” 1.5 weeks ago (I’m not sure what else to call it) are starting to ease. I have a bruise that’s about 2″ in diameter on the back of my head, but it’s no longer a lump. It still hurts, but it’s starting to itch which means it’s healing. My energy levels are also starting to rise. I went for a walk yesterday and a longer walk today. I needed a nap after each walk, but they’re getting shorter and less frequent as well.
The dizzy spells are what I find the most disconcerting. They happen rather suddenly and last for varying lengths of time – from a few seconds to nearly a minute – and have varying levels of severity. My neurologist says it may take anywhere from six weeks to a year before I start feeling completely normal again. I’m determined that it take less time rather than more!
More good news! My cold is starting to ease up as well. Bad news… Mark has gotten my cold. I’m hoping that because he’s been obsessive about taking Vitamin C forever, he won’t get hit as hard by this cold as I was. Sorry Honey!
