Hello, friends!! I miss you all so much. I’m still struggling a little bit. I keep reminding myself how bad off I was say, two months ago, because it’s important for me to see progress in my recovery. But I keep getting sidelined by unexpected complications.
I’m still being treated for that pulmonary embolism that hit on Valentine’s day, but the treatment for that has caused some internal bleeding. I’m waiting for my CT scan to see if I can come off of that treatment. But that scan isn’t until mid-May.
As for the craniotomy recovery, I feel that is going well. I return to the office on April 16th, barring any surprises that come up.
I’m close to getting back into reading. I feel it. But anytime I pick up a book I quickly lose interest. That’s not typically like me.
I hope you are all well. I think once I get back to a normal day-to-day routine I will be on here more. Miss you!
It’s been eight weeks since my brain surgery and I feel that recovery from that went well, but then on Valentine’s day I ended up in the ER because of severe leg pain and shortness of breath.
Pulmonary embolism is no joke. My right lung was rendered useless from blood clots and because of my recent brain surgery they had to go very low dosage on the blood thinners and continue to check my brain for bleeds so I earned a three day stay at the hospital.
I am now at home and on blood thinners for the next three months. Hoping to regain my lung capacity and get my strength back. After all the heart tests it looks like my heart is okay but working hard to compensate for the lack of oxygen so I am on that too.
This recovery has been hard. I tend to not know what day it is and the days are soooooo long. NO reading either. Just too unfocused.
Just wanted to pop in for an update because it just hit me how long it’s been since my last post. Hopefully my next update will find me in a much better place.
