So, all around GREAT NEWS at my post-up visit last Wednesday!!!
The surgeon told us he won't need to see me again for 9-12 months. We asked about weaning off the seizure medication and he said I could start that same day. So far, so good. I should be completely off of it by the end of March. I did mention the memory issues again and they performed some sort of test for a baseline and said it came back good but with room for improvement.
I also want to share an epiphany I had today! My #oneword2019 is Embrace. I assumed it would be a huge challenge. As I was sharing an update with a co-worker I realized that I've pretty much accepted that today's "me" is the new me and any progress with lost memories, thought processing, and focus will just be a bonus. I want to move forward and not be a sitting duck waiting for "me" to come back. But, it was the first time that I realized that I've embraced the changes in my life, my family's life, and moving forward is the only thing I can do. That realization really excited me! I'm excited for all of the "bonus" things that come back to me going forward.
I will probably not write as much since my updates will be fewer and farther between, but THANK YOU ALL that have prayed for me and my family, helped with anything we needed, and continue to be a source of hope for us going forward. This has definitely been a challenging experience but has also resulted in our faith being expanded beyond what we could have ever expected.
