Just be careful. I went back to work part time (I have a very physical hard labor outdoor job) for 4 hours a day after a little under 5 months. Bad bad idea. Now granted I did push myself about a month after the injury, but very slowly and progessively. Thats why the dr and I both felt confident in returning. But, in the end I lasted a week. Symptoms (now 6 month tomorrow from the injury) are worse than ever. Anything physical completely wrecks me, even walking a mile. Just be careful. When I went back to work, being a vehicle and being on the rough surfaces we drive hurt, shoveling hurt, raking hurt, lifting stuff hurt, the loud noises hurt.

Now I find myself seeing lightning flashes, quickly blacking out, losing balance and falling. Everyones different, you just have to be very very careful. I felt fairly confident this weekend, and got a little cocky. I decided by my front door that the mulch needed to be weeded. A job that takes maybe 20 minutes tops. Well I did it, but it was bad. My head was throbbing. I decided to go lay down. Then my wifes family decided to show up and spend 4 hours over. Well that added onto the headache. I couldnt tolerate nothing and it hurt to much to even try to nap. Still today (this was Saturday) and I feel like ive been hit by a dump truck. Oh, and in that misery that was Saturday, I fell again and bumped my head.
