Well its been quite a ride. My energy is starting to come back very slowley. In addition I have infections in what used to be my sinus and left ear and eye making seeing and hearing more difficult. Kathy and I have been enjoying watching the Olympics. I just completed going off all the pain mediation hopefully that will help with the mental fog and energy level. I am able to talk again which was not possible for a while and starting eating soups and very soft foods. This recovery is similiar to the period after the surgery but seems to take longer. Also my mental health is being challenged as my expectations and real life don't always match. Kathy has been such a trooper with all of this it is amazing. Christs church is also amazing with food and visits and recently short trips out so Kathy gets a break and I get to see other things again. we have had quite the cold and snow spell. I have been able to last couple of days to keep up with the snow and even went for a 30 min. walk by my self with the gog. That was it so for energy. I am trying to do something every day.
