Progress Mood
Sunday, August 17, 2008 | A General Update story
I'm making progress with cognition.  Today was a much better day.  I called my supervisor and shared my concerns with her about my cognition and all I will be doing tomorrow is answering and returning patients' calls.  I can't drive yet, so I won't be out in the field.  I'm still nervous about not speaking or thinking clearly tomorrow, but it is a relief to be honest about where I'm at and I'm so grateful my employer is willing to work with me.  I'll know within a week or two if I'll be able to regain what I've lost.  What I'm experiencing is just so strange.  It's starting to come and go, which is an improvement over just being trapped in my brain.  Maybe the meds are starting to work.  I'm less scared.  Even if I don't regain everything, I've got enough to work with to re-learn some things and pick up where I left off.  Maybe my brain just took a vacation, lol.  I'm still forgetful, clumsy and fatigued, but not as dizzy and I can follow a conversation now.  I'll accept progress!

    Hi hon,
    I am so proud you are making progress. Maybe it will just take a little time to get back to normal. I am also glad your employer is being nice and giving you the opportunity to try. Don't give up! You can do it!

    I have all the faith in the world in you hun. Im sure you will do a great job at work. Im proud of you for calling your boss and telling them the truth and that they are working with you. That will hopefully help you to stay more calm and for it to be less stressful for you. Let me know how it went at work. I think you will surprise yourself at how great you will be.
    Love ya hun....Julie
