Back to Normalacy

Last week I went in for my last and final CT Scan. We also were able to pick up an itemized bill from the hospital.... YIKES! For as much as my first house I am happy to be alive and healthy.

The CT scan results said that the brain bleed is completely resolved. There was no new bleeding and the previous bleed had been absorbed into my body. So I am healed! Ready to get back to life... with a few quirks.

Quirk 1. I'm emotional. I cry easily over the silliest of things. I was at K-Mart with my 7 yr. old picking out a matchbox car and started crying. Not my idea of what should be an emotional moment.

Quirk 2. I'm forgetful. Did I start the dishwasher? Nope... forgot. What day is it? Who knows. Don't even ask me where I parked the car. We were at dinner and I asked my husband where he had gone. He hadn't gone anywhere... at all... he had just been sitting there the whole time! At least it's just my short term memory. I would hate to forget my children!

Quirk 3. I lack focus. I tend to be more scattered and can't seem to focus as long on a project. Going back to work should be interesting.

Quirk 4. Busy places, loud noises, lots of movement around me are completely overwhelming. I went to my in-laws for a family gathering. I had to leave and find a quiet spot... where of course I cried. Sigh...

Quirk 5. I can't watch movies that have a bajillion different camera angles in every scene. It makes my head scream! Snitch (regardless of the fact that the movie is only sub-par to begin with) would be one of those movies. OUCH!

Quirk 6. I have the weirdest dreams ever. Not that I can remember them for more than 5 minutes!

Quirk 7. I feel disconnected at times. Emotionally, spiritually, physically disconnected... its really hard to explain.

Rumor has it that these things will get better over the next 6 months until hopefully I am back to normalacy... or at least my version of it.
