One month ago today, I was stricken with a subarachnoid hemorrhage--ruptured aneurysm. In some respects, it seems like forever ago, and in others, I am amazed that I am doing so well in so short a time, considering all that occurred.
I probably appear ungrateful to some. Because I never lost any functions, I have been most impatient to be able to get back to a normal life--but I have been in awe of the way things worked out. It is not lost on me that I am one of the "lucky" ones who survived the situation with all of my faculties intact, and I am MOST grateful to everyone who bent over backwards for me--my sister and brother-in-law, and of course, my daughter who had to move mountains to get to Illinois to stay with me. Meg took over like a trouper!
I will probably stay out of school yet another week--not because I need to, but because everyone--including the neurosurgeon--tells me that I should!
Robin--bless her--has experienced her first week of Kindergarten and insists that she is the "goodest" one in the class. Yesterday, she bragged that she has been in school for five days and hasn't had any "yellow lights" or "red lights"--then promptly came home and threw a book at her little brother and hit him in the eye. Hmmm...
We are surviving. I guess I should take advantage of these extra days at home to get some things done that I couldn't do when the brain deal hit. We got at least two inches of much-needed rain yesterday after a long dry spell. I think the grass grew that much overnight. Can I mow? I think we are about to find out!
