All, well there's good news and not so bad news.

First thing yesterday morning I tried swimming about 800 yards in intervals which in the past has always given me headaches. Nothing immediately, and oddly enough nothing for six hours afterwards.

I then tried to do lots of crunches, which too is the trigger for headaches. Nothing. Went to the appointment, explained to the doctor that I didn't have a headache. They said they couldn't do a nerve block without presentation of headache. Made sense. Cancelled my appointment and left.


Even as I went to bed I still didn't have but maybe a slight tinge of headache.

I guess long story short, is that after 3 years of "it's going to take a little time", my brain made a little jump in recovery. This morning there's a little headache but not like the one which felt like a mosh pit happening in my head.

Everything I've been doing in the process of "waiting" is what I found here in this groups advice, vitamins, encouragement, cognative rest when I can, and trying to be at peace with where I'm at, and to be thankful.
