Update

Over the past week, I've had a few friends ask how I'm feeling and some have commented that I've suspiciously left off comments about symptoms on this blog. That's because talking about it doesn't make it better. :) I'll leave a quick update here then will likely not want to talk about it again until after the surgery. Deal?

I'm tired. I just walked down to the basement w/ Mark and had to stop on the way back upstairs because I didn't have enough energy to make it. Also, Mark and I had a hot date last night that I looked forward to all week; it only took dinner and two stores for me to hit a wall (not literally). I'm sure he didn't find it to be one of our hotter dates. :)

I'm having more trouble w/ balance and have to pay close attention to where I'm walking. Wednesday night, I fell and hit pretty hard for the first time. The sounds in my head are louder with my neck movements sounding like the car I used to drive w/ bad struts. I've had to think more about what I'm eating in order to avoid foods that will be overly loud or blur my vision. For the most part, my vision is okay as long as I'm not overly fatigued. Actually, everything is fine as long as I'm not tired.

I've also found that I'm quicker to anger these days, mainly at myself for being a wuss. It frustrates me when I hear someone say it's okay to have a shorter fuse because I'm sick; in my mind, I'm not actually sick. I am simply missing bone in my head that creates some issues.

When one of our friends was very ill, he wouldn't let anyone visit him in the hospital unless they agreed to remain positive. That's because he was a very smart man. When we focus on possibilities and potential, we can transform and it's through that transformation that I will be back in fighting condition in no time. Sly the Italian Stallion had nothing on me!!!!
