This time has definitely been easier. I'm sleepier faster, and taking a lot more meds, but I know what to expect and how to respond to it now, which is a huge part of the battle.
Jen was here this weekend and we managed a couple of trips out of the house, followed by long naps for me. We went out and I spent way too much money on a new recliner for me. It'll be where I sleep when I'm in recovery and where I sit to work and screw around on the internets for the foreseeable future. We got this one in a distressed brown leather with a little bit of red in it. I think it will look nice with our existing furniture and my moroccan rugs.
We also managed to get me out to breakfast and shopping yesterday, but I was DONE after that, and ended up spending the rest of the day watching too much television and napping.
This week I have bunch of phone calls to make but no doctor stuff scheduled, and I plan to stick pretty close to home. Bob will be here for most of it too - his football season is done now and he's got to study for finals this week.

Sounds good, Sonya. Dale and I don't say much, but we are indeed following your journey, and hoping and praying for your complete recovery!
