Okay, Im sorry if youre tired of my health updates so Im hoping this is the last one of these for a while. Especially since tomorrow is my sister-in-laws baby doctor appointment and lets face it...THATS WAY MORE EXCITING!!! So, I went to my appointment today and filled out a mountain of paperwork. I guess it takes a lot of signatures to sign over the paperwork of an emergency craniotomy to your regular MD. Now I know for next time. The doctor took the stitches out of my head today and the relief is amazing. I had already healed right up over them so I was excited when they came out and he said they healed beautifully with no issues. I still have problems with balance, light sensitivity, my eyes focusing when Im tired, the bottoms of my feet being numb, short term memory, seizures, and neuropathy in my forearms but all that should fix itself in time. I mean, I think Im pretty blessed to have come this far!!! Doctor says I need an EEG and follow up appointment in a month. He says still cant drive or work for 3 months and require my seizure meds for 6 months. However, the VA told Bobby we could get a small amount of compensation for the fact that my Dad is here taking care of me and driving me. Its not a ton of money but if we could even just have a little that would be an answer to a prayer we didnt even know needed answering. So overall, life is a wonderful thing. I am going to be walking around the block with my Dad or Robert every evening. Ill keep eating healthy and slowly regaining my skills: karate, underwater basket weaving, kazoo playing while riding a three wheeler. Bobby and I are going to start going on some dates again. Very romantic. They will involve going to look at different houses, lol. Hey, its alone time and that is something we havent had in a very long time. Plus, we really think after everything that happened that we should take our time and find a new home. Something not so big and hard for me to upkeep. Something that doesnt take every dime we have from us. We love this home, but after everything thats happened...some things just seem so much more important to us right now. Were also going to focus inward on our children. They are the greatest gifts God ever gave me and that red-headed boy I married. We have to make the entire rehabilitation about Christ at our center. Whether its braiding their hair for school in the morning, going to church, watching cartoons, or reading books...we are going to do everything with 100% love and gratitude. So, thank you for all your prayers and support. I apologize for the whiny times and the scared times. We went through this entire thing quite publicly but it was because we love so many people and we are so blessed and God was so active with us throughout that we couldnt hide away. I will never forget your support and love for my family while I was in the hospital. And really, I dont know what I ever did to deserve so much love but I am grateful for every prayer or word that was sent my way. Love you all so much!
