Updating briefly.
I am not sure how much of it is real but after only five doses of steroids I do belive there is a difference. This morning I picked up the toothpaste in my left hand without thinking and HELD ON TO IT!I also felt as though I regained a modicum of control in the leg. At least I did not have to think FORWARD before moving off. I just moved.
These were the two functions that faltered most recently so I am going to assume that some of the swelling in my brain is receding. The vague achy feeling in my head is gone also.
So fast! It was what I hoped for, planned for, rehearsed for so I am feeling a little more relaxed. Faith that I would be able to retrieve myself was both strong and essential, but now I KNOW for sure and no matter how much work it takes, I can get the rest back too.
I really have taken the last two days off (except from writing and recording the film reviews), put a little more order into my home, sadly neglected in the rush to doctors and hospitals, played on facebook, read and lived my life for a space.
Tomorrow I will call for results and see if the steps to chemo and radiation can be put in motion, because this is just a breath to regroup and organize for the next phaze of my recovery, and finding the balance between destruction and healing.
Right now I am going to see if I can make level 8 in bubbletown and then go to sleep.
Rest and relaxing are both part of the process
