.... of TRUE progress in recovery
Oh my gosh! these last 5 days have been absolutely WONDERFUL! Don't get me wrong - recovery started from day 1 - I am in week 4 of recovery and FINALLY feel some REAL progress for me ...... I was suffering from debilitating headaches up until last week and spent a couple of days (all day) in bed - - the T-3's were not working and I was just beside myself - - my friend on Facebook who works in the medical field told me different supplements to try - I was drinking tons of water since hydration is supposed to be good too - but was prob. washing everything away with all the water - as well as not eating right - since I am still having some weakness issues ...... I also called my Surgeons office and they suggested - whether I need it or not - to take an Advil every 4-6 hours - so between that and the vitamins - (magnesium was one she specifically suggested) - my headaches seem to be much, much better - I was willing to try anything as I was getting so down from the head pain
.... and - - I just got back from DRIVING the kids to my daycare provider
WOOHOO! I am driving! It is a really weird feeling especially with the single-sided deafness - but my balance and dizziness are almost not existant (unless I close my eyes) - - and I figured driving these very short distances to start will be good! I actually went ... to Toys R Us yesterday to start some shopping (again, close to where I live) - my biggest annoyance when I am out - especially in this weather is the dry eye - I still have the facial weakness, numbness on side of tongue, mouth, throat, some facial pain (feeling is coming back) and numb head - - BUT without these headaches I feel so, so, so, SO MUCH BETTER!!!!
Please keep your fingers crossed that this is the TRUE beginning of me feeling BETTER!
