Repair & Recovery

TUESDAY 29 OCTOBER

Unable to find much coherence in what I’ve experienced in the past few weeks, so some bullet points will suffice.

  • Walking is random in quality, good walks followed by stumbles a few hours later.
  • After several months of sleeping in the recliner, I started sleeping in bed again at the top of October, and quite comfortably, too. Since the first ten days of that, it’s been about half and half.
  • Gone symptoms went from 90% gone to 75% gone (estimates, not science). I have no idea why.
  • When the pericardium is energized, movement is more enjoyable and often freer and more fluid.
  • A new gone symptom is a full body jerk in reaction to a sharp sound when awake or asleep; half asleep the jerk still happens but not as violently.
  • Swallow reflex seems to be reasserting itself as incidents of rampant drool have been waning.
  • Getting out of bed is slowly getting easier.
  • What I tell my brain when it wants to over-react – Freak thee not out, all is as it should be. I love you.
  • Other stuff, too, but typing remains difficult so I will stop here.

Thanks for reading.
