My brain seems to be leveling out if that makes sense. I’m not losing as many words as I was, not using as many incorrect words as I was since BH isn’t correcting me that often, still getting lost out in the ou ou sphere (the ou pronounced like the ou in you) a word I learned in college that apparently doesn’t exist in either American English or the King’s English. Somebody made it up but AI doesn’t recognize it. I couldn’t remember how to spell it, so yes I looked it up. We used it as a way to say the person isn’t daydreaming, more like they’re not present, not aware of any thought processing. Like when a person stares off into space and you say “Earth to …”
Anyhow, I think my brain is getting better, not up to my 100% maybe 75% but I see it as a win. It may have something to do more with my pinched nerve than I thought as the meds for that is helping a lot.
Thank you all for all your support I really appreciate every one of you! And @Judi I have sent a message to the RN on my team this morning to see if that’s what’s happening!
ok, well, it is one day at a time as you know, at least you are showing signs of improvement. Hang in there!!. Hoping for 100 percent soon! I am glad that the meds are heling for the pinched nerve. Where is the pinched nerve?
It’s C7 but I’ve got a few others in my neck that were damaged in my long ago accident. Ford Ranchero hit me and my horse, I flew over the Ranchero and landed face first in the road right near a friend’s house. C7 was the worse in my neck as it almost severed completely before a wonderful PA slipped me a note at the family doctor visit for an orthopedic surgeon. The ortho said another month or two it would have severed completely. Family doc told my Mom that it was all in my head. The hospital took a lot of X-rays of my head because I’d had a subdural hematoma I think it was back in ‘61 and a chest X-ray because I was having problems breathing comfortably (split sternum) but none of my spine interestingly enough. Ortho was a bit peeved about that. Had 18 dislocated vertebrae. He gave me a cervical traction device that I used probably until I was 21 or 22. I tried using it a few years after I ruptured but it was too much for my neck.
I see Sergey NP at neurologist in a week or two. I think my problem may be that OT told me not to do any of my PT and I don’t think I’m doing the exercises correctly now. I take things very literally since I ruptured so he may not have meant it but it’s what he said. I absolutely want to avoid surgery for as long as I can, Dr.Q-W understands this as do all of my providers😂. Every time I’ve had surgery, the doc always has found things to be worse than they thought. So I just say I am normally abnormal!
