Today we went over to my in-laws for Christmas brunch and to open some gifts as my sister in law is leaving for the holidays. It has been the longest I have been out for a while and I must say that it was exhausting being out so long. It surprised me that I would…
Yesterday I had a conversation with my neurosurgeon and he said that my brain is healing nicely. It is not back to normal yet, but the progress is looking good and much better than it was when I was released from the hospital. I have had less headaches and things are starting to get back…
