And you've got loads of people rooting (sp?) for you.<br /><br />I found "I've had brain surgery, what's your excuse" by Suzy Becker very funny and helpful (in that "oh good, I'm not the only one!" kind of way).<br /><br />Good luck with it all!!

Hoping that day comes sooner. <br />I always think I can do right away. Sometimes I can-usually it takes longer than i think to get back to normal.<br />debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13491752954439484355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20882588.post-53544177989404958372012-12-21T10:58:33.296-05:002012-12-21T10:58:33.296-05:00so... you had massive surgery on YOUR BRAIN and th...so... you had massive surgery on YOUR BRAIN and thought it'd only take three weeks to heal? Either you're the most optimistic person I've ever met or your doctors did a crap job of managing your expectations.<br /><br />Don't know if this will help, but when we talked the other day, you sounded completely like yourself. Great focus, nimble mind. <br /><br />Remember that your body is upset. The doctors were very mean to it. It needs more time. In my experience, it takes 6-8 weeks to get back to normal.
