Just thought I'd provide a quick update on progress...
Overall health - great
Started lifting weights again, been to the ocean twice in the last 2 weeks for some boogie boarding, and did some balance exercises on the wii.
I never had balance issues, but I thought I'd see how I'd do - turns out just fine - I think it is an interesting concept, the balance board - and fun to play with my son.
Does it hurt?
Headaches have subsided some - but not completely. I was on Tylenol regimen 3x per day for the headaches. This week, I am only doing the afternoon dose if at all. I wouldn't say they have gone, but either I'm getting used to them or they are not as bad most of the time (still have the monster once in a while - surprising feels a lot like someone shot radiation into my brain a few weeks ago...go figure
).
I am still more tired than normal. I have only seen 10PM a few times since treatment. I could easily take a nap everyday, and some days I do.
Working...
Working is the toughest part - it seems to be fine during the morning, but as the day wears on, usually around 2 or 3 PM, I seem to get less productive. My concentration wanes, I forget simple things and I get very spacey (like losing a train of thought in the middle of a conversation). This is very frustrating for me, as I am used to juggling 100 balls and staying on top of it all. I have definitely slipped in that area, and seem to do better when focusing on a single activity (and in the morning).
It is difficult mentally - the frustration and feeling of letting others down - it is impacting me, although I am trying my best to fight those negative feelings.
Continued improvement?
I continue to work on having a healthy body - eating, exercising and herbal supplements
I continue to work on having a healthy mind - stress reduction, relaxation, and focus on positive vibes - I'm convinced that if I can get the mind in the right place, everything else will follow.
That is it for now, staying positive and feeling better...
