I haven't kept up this blog, as right after brain surgery I was out of it, and since then I've been working on recovery.
I went into hospital just as COVID-19 was starting to cancel all elective surgery. Luckily, I made it through under the wire (and was in bad enough shape they probably would have taken me anyway).
I'm doing fantastic! Now 7 months out, I'm not quite ready for a job, yet. But the world has changed so much there aren't many job options right now anyway. And I don't know what job prospects there will be when I'm ready to go back to work. I try not to focus on that, but it's a challenge.
I'm getting better and stronger every day. I have cognitive problems and absolutely no short term memory, but I'm in therapy for that, as well as psychotherapy to develop techniques to deal with the psychological problems exacerbated by the lingering issues. Progress seems excruciatingly slow, but the doctors and therapists insist I'm doing really well. What do they know? 😉
I have published an ebook, Coping with Depression: A Tip-a-Day for 2021, and also have my prior ebook, Travels with Mom, The A-B-C's of Traveling with a Senior Companion.
I'm going to keep up with this blog, and to follow discussion about Coping with Depression, check out THIS BLOG.
