An epic Mile Stone - Mill Stone finally gone 21 June 2007
Today I thought it worth noting that finally my book arrived from India. All that is needed is for me to ask my dear neighbour to proof-read it yet again and then all will be underway.
There is not much to add except that I am still fit free which is one year and two months so that is pleasing, in fact wonderful and worth any inconvenience that may or does occur.
They being that I cannot stand anyone standing and fiddling or rather fidgeting to the right hand side of me nor the sound of rustling plastic bags.
Also I remember now having had the letter back from my Neuro-psychologist that I said I was having focussing problems. This is so but not bad. It is just that I cannot put up with something in front of my right eye when I am trying to do something at a hands distance, like washing food in the sink with the mixer tap in my way or field of vision.
I do not sleep more than six hours a night but it has done no harm, fortunately. My patience levels have not improved but my self-confidence has not gone so that is a boon.
The fear centre connection that was severed has not re-joined so I am quite fearless now. This great not having that dreadful feeling of doom in the pit of the stomach when say you forget the keys or purse or you are summonsed to appear in court. It probably explains why I do not get an aura anymore and again I am very grateful.
My surgeon explained that I could well be a headachey person because I still get the occasional one. So, fair enough but he has made my hair curly at the front. He did say he could perform miracles when he tried and he certainly has to day performed that miracle which he set out to do and that was to free me from seizures. Thank you so much.
I am still very distractable but at least my short-term memory has improved slightly and recall has too. However that experience of not being able to think of a word happens quite frequently. The experiencing of de ja vu has stopped for good now but I still have problems with recognising or remembering faces recently encountered.
My head has a barometer within and is fine providing the barometric pressure is constant - be it high or low. When it keeps fluctuating then I get that cotton wool feeling in the head, am dull just like experiencing a hang-over and cannot get many cognitive actions done. My surgeon tells me this is the old war wound syndrome so at least we know and at least I can still function although not optimally!
There was something else but it cannot be important so that is it and may even be that!
