Recent Doctor's visit, went great!

Comb Over, Before & After

I went to the doctor on Thursday the 15th.

At first I saw Dr. Richs assisstant Dr. Kotter. He said he can't believe how well I'm doing, after just 4 weeks! After talking to him for awhile, he said he had to go get Dr. Rich, because he would want to see how well I'm doing. Needless to say, Dr. Rich had a big smile on his face and was thrilled with my progress!

Althoug I'm feeling pretty good, the doctor feels strongly that at least 3 months is needed to totally feel back to my normal self, and normal energy. He said I could start light housework, nothing heavy, and also to start walking for short periods of time on a treadmill. He also said to make sure I realize my boundries because when I feel good, it could be deceiving and I could overdue and set my self back.

As far as how I'm feeling. My good days are lasting a little longer with fewer naps. I can usually feel exhaustion coming on pretty fast, which brings on a small headache and I feel heaviness in my eyes and head and all my energy just disappears. I guess that is what the doctor means should disappear in 3 months. I can't drive as of yet, because I can still have dizzy spells and my reaction time is kinda slow still. But not to worry, all of this is normal and I feel great! As for my hair, I have a great comb over and I had a few more bangs cut to help cover the shaved part of my head. I really can't believe I had brain surgery 4 weeks ago, and neither can the doctors!

Both doctors said, not only is it due to my positive attitude and will to be healthy, it's also due to everyone who has shown a positive attitude, love, help and sent prayers my way, so that I could rest and heal. The fact that I haven't had to stress about housework, meals, work, or anything for that matter, has allowed me to heal faster than expected.

I know I keep saying this, but I can't tell you thank you enough for each personal touch that everyone has contributed to my health & wellness!

Sending you all lots of LOVE this Valentines week!!!!

Chao for now,
