I didn’t realize…

It had been so long since my last post...

The family and I are doing well, just living day by day. The boys will be 5 on Feb 1...I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. It's amazing to watch them grow and learn; I just wish it would slow down. They're getting to be big boys, and they're acting like it

So far so good regarding the MRI scans...just some scar tissue moving around. And good news, instead of every three months between scans, I only have to go every four months. Doesn't sound like much, but progress is progress.

I am still experiencing some small seizures or episodes. I'm completely coherent and I get that feeling across my brain. And then I can't talk. I can see the words, saying them in my head. But that connection between my brain and mouth gets interrupted for 15-20 seconds.

I still think about it all the time, wondering what's going in my head. Again, how can I not. Every time I feel funny or odd, every time I get a headache, I wonder if it's coming back. I still keep it to myself, most of the time. Whatever...I'll deal with whatever comes my way like I always do

I had a HUGE tear in my rotator cuff and had it surgically repaired in mid-August. Talk about painful. I was in a permanent sling for six weeks. It's no fun sleeping in a recliner for that long, constantly changing out ice packs and trying to get comfortable. And then the PT. PT was hell for 8-10 weeks (sorry Moe) and I still have two more months to go. My advice to you, don't ever have shoulder surgery unless it's absolutely necessary...

I'm not sure if this is a good thing, but I finally got my taste buds back for beer. Took about a year, but damn it feels good to drink a cold banquet beer.

I hope you all are happy and want to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas! I hope next year you continue live in the moment and cherish each day.

Be well...TB
