Hi Hockey,

Yes- I am a huge Sabres fan and have been for about 10 years. Let's go Buf-a-lo! Preseason starts next Thursday!

Anyway... Thank you for your warm welcome. I am really appreciating being able to share with others who get what I'm going through. After your post, I was immediately moved to speak with both of my children. I asked them if they knew why Mommy was tired and cranky sometimes, and they both knew it was because I had hit my head. I guess my hubby has covered all of that with them. He's really been amazing! I told them both that no matter how cranky and tired I am, I still will always love them. I was even motivated to tuck them in tonight and was able to sing the song we always used to sing together "Jesus Loves Me". It was a wonderful evening.

I do have an attentive neurologist, and after really getting into some of these posts, I can see that I'm ahead of the game and 3 months isn't so bad. I am interested in the neuro-psychological testing and have also started my own little therapy.

I read an article where Sports Medicine Specialists at the University at Buffalo had used some low activity exercise therapy in some of their injured atheletes. I spoke with my neuro about it and he didn't seem on board with anything other than symptomatic treatments. He said I was free to explore other options, but that his recommendation was to get as much rest as possible.

I was feeling depressed about gaining so much weight since I've been sick, and I feel like any step towards anything could be positive. At the least, it might make me feel like I'm acting or fighting or something- I don't know.

So, I've started with Wii Yoga. I do the first 5 poses, or whatever I can handle until my head hurts worse or my other symptoms increase. I'm trying to track my symptoms in a blog so I can see if there is any progress. I did too much on Tuesday, and took a break until Friday. I did 10 minutes every day since.

I feel pretty wiped out after, but I can't distinguish if it's any better or worse. I'm looking for more long term, I guess. It's nice to feel like I'm doing something- at least gives me the illusion of control.

Thanks again for your support and advice. I hope I can be a helpful member of this community along the way.
