Milestones
 

Well, I just went out to a restaurant (for lunch) with my significant other for the first time since my injury.

Oh, and I'm back at work part-time.

I also just had my third nice comment from a random person during my neighbourhood walks in recent months (different person each time). This one said: "You're really moving along now, man. Way to go."

Crab-walking in the right direction.

Good for you.

Glad to hear it.

WOOHOO!!! Crab walking...still walking!

Welcome back! Good for you. Take it easy, still.

Congratulations on being back to work and crab-walking! Remember, also, that just because you are back to work part-time that doesn't mean you should be doing all kinds of other things, too. Make sure you rest as well as you can and take care!

So happy for you Greenfrog!!! Your positive attitude and perseverance shows in each post you write and you are definetly heading forward in your road to recovery. Good luck back at work, Im sure you will do great!!!

Well, like they say, you have to crab-walk before...umm...you can walk.

Congratulations.

Glad to hear about your good news! Congrats! :)

awesome greenfrog!

Yay! How long are your walks?

Please share thanks!

Are you taking meds for headaches?

Congratulations! That is great!! I am sooooo happy for you!

Thanks postconcussion,

No meds for headaches or anything else. My specialist thought it best not to take anything unless I really had to (e.g., for depression). I never got to that point, but who knows - taking something might have helped when my symptoms were at their worst.

I've been walking about 60-90 mins per day, usually something like 2 x 35-40 mins. I'm still not walking consistently at normal pace, but am getting closer. I'm now on a fairly consistent sleep schedule and get up around 7 am and go for a walk first thing, which has helped (I don't think about it, just do it every day). But I didn't force this - for over a year I was sleeping in, sometimes until 9:00 or 10:00 am or even later.

I'm not out of the woods yet, but I am seeing some encouraging signs.

That's awesome Greenfrog!

I'm so happy for you

During my walk this morning, a woman who lives in my neighbourhood stopped her car, rolled down the window, and said, "I see you doing rehab...you're doing good, you're doing really good. Keep it up."

Fourth nice comment in recent months.
