Wanted to share a great feeling with you guys, because no-one else will really understand it.
Following an audition on Monday night I have just been offered the romantic lead role in an opera in my town's biggest theatre. I'm sitting here crying my eyes out. A few months ago I didn't know if I would ever be good at anything ever again. I didn't cry through all the months when my symptoms were bad, I guess my brain couldn't have handled the emotion - it's like I was saving it all up for this and now I'm letting it out as relief. I'm back in the game.... Always keep your hope alive - we'll get there. Phew!

Feb 24, 2012 - Slipped on a large puddle of ice at work, hitting the back of my head. No loss of consciousness, so I assumed I'd be back at work within a few days. I was wrong. When resting, symptoms are low. With exertion, I still suffer from fatigue, migraines, vision problems, problems thinking or reading, troubles sleeping, issues finding or getting words to my mouth when the headaches are bad, tinnitus, and thyroid issues which I think are due to the concussion. Seen one specialist, and now a few others through insurance review of my case. Hoping for further treatment. |

Congrats!
Break a leg! (or a lung! - since it's an opera!)  I worked for almost 15 years professionally as a designer, stage manager, sound engineer and technician on all kinds of shows, theatre, dance, opera and so many more before the accident, and I'm not able to do it yet. I miss it. A. LOT. I'm really glad you posted this! It gives me hope I'll be able to do it again someday.
