5 Months since diagnosis and surgery

Well, it will be on January 25/24. I still get confused about the date of everything!!!

X marks the spot. I think this was August 24th

Progress so far!

I thought that it would be interesting to record my progress so far as honestly it does not seem that I make much progress, so this was to see for myself that progress is slow but steady! I have a couple more weeks before the official 6 months. Maybe I can add to this list? Or how many can I add to this list?

  • Can fold laundry
  • I can stand on my left leg for 10 seconds
  • My arms lift up and down in sync
  • Can chaturanga almost equally on both arms
  • Can lie on my back and lift my feet over my head to touch the floor behind
  • Have paddled 3 times without falling in
  • Can squeeze my left and right glute muscle
  • Not bumping into things as much
  • Can put on my shoes without help.
  • Can put pants/ trousers on without sitting on the bed
  • Can sign I love You
  • Don’t need to wear an eye mask in a car.
  • Just taking 1 nap every few days.
  • Rarely hold onto things with my left hand or let taps run and leave doors open.
  • Get up from sitting on the floor, unless my legs get in a tangle. Then I don’t know which is which!
  • Can unscrew the childproof caps
  • Cooked some meals
  • Met someone I haven’t seen since diagnosis and didn’t cry- Good or bad?
  • Staying engaged on phone calls
  • Eye Twinkle says Daisy
  • My voice is not as monotone
  • Maintaining a positive attitude says Thomas
  • Not forgetting what I am doing all the time

  1. I think your processing speed is faster too. You’re getting the nuances of conversation and are able to respond more quickly. You’ve come a long way. A whole marathon and then some!
