Got a second opinion, sorta kinda from another doc. Says to take it easy and do nothing that causes symptoms but to gradually increase activity within that guideline.

About the willpower, a tip I remembered from a while ago:

before I got into the accident, I was reading a book called Willpower. I didn't finish it before it happenend, but they said something in there about how neat & tidyness can have a big impact. I think the chapter I had started was saying that even aetheists who pray have better willpower. I'm not religious, but I wonder if there's some version of that that will help. Its by a guy named Baumeister, a researcher.

The tidyness has helped already.

Anyway, gonna log off a bit, get some rest. I have a cold today, posted a thread about it. It's killing me! lol
