(Health Update)(personal)
Another incremental improvement. I have enough energy for minor household chores and such. I’ve even repaired a few electronic bits around the house. I can remember what day it is. The sense of background noise or confusion is mostly gone. I can sense subtle logical variations again. I can organize larger scopes of work again. I can hold most of the work in my head again – if not all of it, though I still can have trouble recalling the occasional noun. And my associative autobiographical memory is gradually returning. Which ‘they’ tell me is a very good sign.
Some of my mental recovery is due to the joy at making consistent progress on the work, even if I’m only capable of working two or three hours a day with someone from the team. But the team is dedicated and amazing and we work seven days a week, online, via zoom and it’s hard and tedious work.
And yes, I have to rest a great deal still – around 14 hours. But that rest is paying off. The only ‘oddity’ is that Peterson is right about the lion diet, at least for me, and the closer I get to it by eliminating what causes a reaction the better my health improves, and the closer my diet approaches the lion diet. Meaning my freezer is full and my refrigerator and cabinets are not. 😉
I’ve gone from being relatively certain I had not only lost my higher faculties, to barely being able to walk, and was increasingly concerned I would kick the bucket, to the point where I can see that within a year, I might be myself again. (God forbid. I know…) 😉
It’s thanks to my suite of doctors really, and in no small part to the encouragement of my many friends. Dr’s opinion was universal that if I just gave myself time I’d recover. And I’m glad they were more optimistic than I was.
Cheers to supporters, followers, friends, and those I love.
