Thank you all for contemplating this with me. I’m in agreement and have put that issue to rest in my mind.
I’m still doing well. I did end up going to work for a few hours on Friday. I felt fine most of the day, but did have an embarrassing short term memory loss moment in front of the staff that I could tell everyone noticed. My people are patient and kind, but it still made me feel silly, and like my credibility is at stake.
I celebrated my birthday with sushi and birthday cake. I had head pressure and elevated blood pressure in the later evening, I’m guessing the combination of everything might have been a bit much for my system. I went back to the protein and hydration plan yesterday and felt better through the day. I love food and have never liked dieting or meal restrictions, so I’m trying to be positive about the goodness of what I should be eating and not lament the unhealthy things that might make me feel crummy.
My golf hog lines are now being joined by little streaks of light and floaters. I’m planning to see my opthalmologist soon for an evaluation of my eyes. I’m guessing they’ll tell me they see nothing, but since visual symptoms have been a big part of this journey, they should at least take a look after being updated with the new info of the aneurysm diagnosis and treatment.
A friend is treating us to a performance of Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana today, so this will be the first live performance taken in since surgery. I’m looking forward to it.
Have a nice day!
