Ive been prodded in private messages by a few people for an update on my health. I guess that means Im overdue, though Ive been holding off until we had more news of any sort. There isnt much to say while were in a holding pattern. Well be meeting with my neurologist on Tuesday - hopefully well have more answers then. Were taking it as a positive sign that I wasnt urgently called in after the MRI. Generally speaking, Im improving. There are good moments and bad ones. My slur and stutter seem to be thinning out. Being tired or stressed or in public makes things worse. Usually Im bad when I wake up then I get a burst of energy, then Im tired again. Ive got an exhausted body, but my mind is wide awake. The pain is manageable. The numbness and tingling is so foreign that its almost exciting. Its worrying too. My spatial awareness is off and overwhelming exhaustion is pretty par for the course. Despite all that, Im happy and mostly in good spirits. I managed to get out of the house twice this weekend for very short stints. 20 minute outings requires two hours of recovery, but they are absolutely worth it to combat cabin fever. One good piece of news is that Im off prescription medication for now. I suspect the steroids were doing more harm than good last week. They say laughter is the best medicine, so until we know more Ill leave you with this: upon being given a surprise gift yesterday, I sent note back that said Thanks Kim. Im speechless. If you cant laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at.
