Life at 5 weeks

Five weeks ago today(March 23, 2011), I had surgery for ACM and things are FINALLY getting to be normal! This post is all over the place so be patient with me!

I am finally to the point where no more naps are needed during the day! I now have energy to make it a whole day without getting to exhausted!

Also at the last check up the doctor told me to exercise 3 days a week, to try to get everything back to normal...so I tried running on a treadmill last wed and this wed! Oh man was it fun...NOT! The pain was horrible, every step pulled at my scar and the pain from my brain feeling "beat up" was intense!

Ive noticed that since the surgery things things seem calmer to me, everything is so much easier to take in...things are beautiful that previously weren't and I love it!

Ive also noticed that my head is a little more sensitive then it was...for example(yawning hurts really bad, along with getting upset, and crying!) Hopefully within time things will become better!


On a positive note the surgery
                 -seems to have helped keep my migraines away
                 -seems to have helped my tingling and pain in my hands/feet
                 -has helped me to embrace the world and myself
                 -has improved my ability to think clearly again and my motor skills
I could think of many many more things but I want to keep this short ;)

I have complete hearing back in my ears again! As for my vision its still a little blurry but I can officially read with it again! I am now able to relax enough to get a couple hours of sleep each night which feels so good! I am still very sore and stiff but I can move and maneuver in ways I never knew I could! I thank god everyday for him giving me ACM because it has made me become so much closer with him, my family, friends, and  myself!

Its seems almost a dream that 5 weeks ago today I had brain/neck surgery! I almost feel better then I did before the surgery! Aw its a great day! Spring is here, the flowers are blooming, and I feel wonderful!
