Last night I slept well in my OWN bed. It was nice, and mostly normal (except for a 3am headache). This morning I had some visitors and then my family came over. My brother brought over an extremely complicated Lord of the Rings game then he, Renae and I played. Before starting this game, I was thinking how well I am healing and will hopefully soon go back to work.
Now that I finished the game, I know I still have a lot of healing to do.
It was the first time I had to mentally push myself. It was hard. The hardest part was tuning out things that were distracting, like kids playing in the background and side conversations. About half way through the game, I needed some more pain medications, but after I took it, I finished the game with my family, and well, we lost.
To be honest, at the end I was just doing what my brother told me to. I normally wouldn't have been so passive, but the exhaustion was rising. It will be a good barometer to see how far I have come.
After that I laid on the couch for an hour or so and now I feel back to normal. The Royals game starts in an hour and I have to get some walking in, so I am going to leave and do my job.
Next time I will put some before and after pictures up of my brain. I was afraid to put these up until I knew everything would be fine. I think it will now.
