Ohhhhhhh I like this metaphor, because I think in analogies and metaphors.
Anyhow, as I am starting to feel better and better I know there are limits to what I should and really can do. It's easy to OVERdo when you may want to get back to that life you had.. So I am wondering what this metaphor means to you? Is there anything you have to pull yourself back from doing because you know, "Hey just because I feel better it doesn't mean I can _________________________________________" I am still not sure what it means for me in terms of my energy, abiltiy to be out in public or in a busy store, or going to work again...(oh that's a stressful thought right there) I am going to take a short walk (easy exercise) and think on this and see later what this metaphor may mean for you.

[SIZE="1"]What happened. I was in a car accident 2-23-2013, and got a mild concussion from it. I had some time off for brain rest, got somewhat better, but slipped into PCS in March 2013. Symptoms I had: dizziness, light and sound sensitivity, fatigue, tinitis, occasional headaches and migraines, Symptoms as of 5--2013: poor sleep, tinitis, some confusion /short term memory blanks, balance. The other symptoms are mostly gone, but flare up if I OVERdo something. Therapy I had: vestibular 3 months in: I could drive more and for longer distances. I felt like a younger, happier version of myself and I feel so blessed to have this feeling. 9 months in and I am working full time. I do get tired, and some sound and light sensitivity from time to time, but mostly I am over most of my symptoms. I pray every day and I m praying for your recovery. Over a year in: I can multi task (limited) and have humor in my life. But when I am tired, I am very tired. |
