Feeling GOOD

As I enter my 4th and final week of being a lady of leisure/tumor vacationer, I am finally starting to really feel close to normal.  Woo hoo!!!!  Besides my migraine distraction, I've had a bunch of really good days lately.  Just a bit of lightheadedness and dizziness on occasion, but I feel like it's definitely lifted.  My vision and focus has also improved, as I'm able to read magazines and watch TV/movies without my eyes and head freaking out too bad.  My direction is still a bit spotty though.  And my sleep is AWFUL (although I was told that's normal for someone who was under anesthesia).

My emotions have been MUCH better lately too, and I can tell my body and emotions are much happier without any drugs or steroids in my system.  I think I'm noticeably more upbeat and more stable emotionally.  Hallelujah.

I think a big part of my feeling normal and better has been my level of activity too.  Instead of being confined to my bed and/or apartment, I've been taking walks, enjoying the rooftop, and also getting out and acting like a normal human being.  I went to a friend's baby shower (congrats Heather!!), have had delicious home-cooked meals with old friends from college and new friends from work and life in general, took some more ferry rides, and even caught a drive-in movie.  (The new X Men movie is pretty good.)  Like normal human beings do!  It's crazy!

I think a week from now I'll be ready to get back to work (maybe a little slowly at first, but still) and back into my normal routine.  After all, someone has to get the auditing done.  (Just kidding, Expedia friends...)  ;)
