Six Weeks Post-Op

Well, as you may have realized I haven't posted in about 3 1/2 weeks. It was just so hard for me to sit up and type without making spelling mistakes that I decided to take a break for awhile. I'm finally getting better **Yeah!** and I think I may once again be able to function as a Mom. I'm still recovering and I'm still not driving, cooking, cleaning or taking care of my children much of the time, but I am getting better. Little by little I get to spend more time with them which is great!

I take a nap every day but only once instead of 2 or 3. I'm still having headaches every day but they are manageable with IBProfen. I can't get them to go away completely, but I can manage as long as I take breaks to lie down and give my head a break. I'm grateful to be off the strong pain meds!!

I'm now off of steroids too--FINALLY!!--and I'm off my seizure meds too! I'm so glad to not be on so many drugs and guess what? I feel better and have more energy now!! Go figure!!

There isn't much else to say for now..thanks to my Mom who came to stay with me for a few weeks after Surgery, and to Carol (Scott's Mom) who came for a week and to Scott's Dad who stayed for a few weeks and to my dear friend Jana who came last week for my easing back into life week and to my Brother in Law Brad who is here this week! I'm so grateful for all your help! And to all my friends who have been so supportive as well! I appreciate you!
Love, Heidi
