Honestly, there really wasn't a "right" time to increase my activity level. Some days I can take more than others, even now!
Maybe if you have specific symptoms that you're referring to I can help more.
Have you been able to go grocery shopping? If not, that could be a test for yourself to stay on task. You could go during an easy time of day at first, while kids are in school. It pushes limits to the extreme to go on a weekend! Another test idea could be some type of chore. Like, paying bills online. It's supposed to be "easy".

In March 2006, I had a partial left temporal lobectomy to remove my seizure focus. It worked well to control complex partial seizures, but left me hyper-sensitive to light and sound. Migraine headaches increased in severity as well as frequency.
In March 2007, I slipped on the ice and fell upon the left side of my head. The effects were mild TBI, a moderate concussion. The TBI effects increased light and sound sensitivity further, as well as migraine headaches. Seizure disorder got shaken up, requiring new medications to control complex partial seizures.
The long-term effects of these brain issues are very poor short-term memory; difficulty regulating emotions; major depression; anxiety; easily overwhelmed; word-finding difficulty as well as mixing up my words (but not recognizing my mistakes) and an extremely difficult time with decision-making. I also got divorced and am the secondary co-parent of our two daughters. That was a huge blow to me!
