Reflections

As of Saturday, it has been three weeks since my cerebral "accident".  By the grace of God, I am recuperating without much difficulty, and it has given me a chance to reflect on what has occurred.

For one thing, I don't think I was scared enough.  Since I hadn't lost any functions, I guess I had the sense that I just had to get through the procedures that were necessary to save my life.  At no point, was I afraid.  I know, however, that I scared my sister and brother-in-law and my daughter...and it wasn't very easy for any of them.  I didn't, however, take them for granted, and I am very, very grateful for the care I got from them...even from a distance.  I love you all!

School starts today.  I will be going in for the full day (without students) to help the sub with lesson plans and take some training on our new software.  I will be very tired at the end of the day, I'm sure...and radio club is tonight.  (I slept most of yesterday which isn't like me.  The thought of summer being over was depressing...)  I am working to get my energy back.  Still have minor headaches and am not totally sure when the doctor thinks I will be ready to tackle the world again.  (He doesn't want me to return to school until after Labor Day, but that seems a bit much to me!)  At this point, I am planning on at least two weeks' absence.  We'll see how it goes.  Wish me luck!
