Weaning sucks...
Cutting the steroids still. I am down to 25-15-15mg. I am taking them 7-8am, 1-2pm, and 5-7pm. I am sore and sucking on some pain meds. I have some nausea with it as well. I am still sleeping pretty well. I cooked dinner tonight and you would have thought I ran 5 miles. It wore me out.
Kind of thought I would be feeling worse than I am. I mean, I feel bad. It just isn't as bad as I felt prior to surgery. I am surprised. I am glad and I am hopeful. Things sure feel different these days. My sodium, electrolytes and potassium are all at good levels. The medicine to control it is working.
The brain fog is still rampant. I can manage to think through it though. I could before, but it might be a bit better. It is a very hard thing to do. Complex thought processes are my bread and butter in the job I worked at. They are holding my job for me, but I am not sure I will be 100% when I do go back. The doctors told us months ago they thought there were some permanent damage in the thinking process. I guess time will tell.
I can still write so I have hope I will be back into work. If I have to I will learn to adapt in my thought processes and how I do my job. Life is about change. I was sick for many years. Surely some things will never be the same. It doesn't mean I won't figure out a way around them though. I have hope.
