I have successfully watched a subtitled movie without any symptoms. I have decided to charge my conduction headphones. I can't wait to try them. If I can listen without a headache or sensitivity to the volume, I will call myself healed.
#postConcussionSyndrome

Good morning, lovely people! Day 3 of waking up and feeling like my brain is working. Based on yesterday, while I feel better, I still have an upper limit. Unfortunately, that means the nagging drive to "be productive" is back and I'm not really ready to start looking for a job or whatever is next. As for #today: rinse out yesterday's dye projects, clean the bathrooms, research new-to-me yoga teachers on YouTube.
I think I'll start here https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgDvk1zOmKuMYNujtvfA4ICkBBfpmw1hE

Good morning, lovely people! #today we have the ongoing landscaping project, which means walkies every 3-4 hours, which is definitely taking it's toll. I'd like to get in some sewing prep (probably tracing a pdf pattern) but I am not hopeful, so probably another day of walkies, coloring and cooking.

Good morning, lovely people! Yesterday was pretty bad for my broken noggin but the Mastodon community has helped me understand that it might be from the heat now that summer is in full bloom. #today I plan to attempt to clean the bathroom without pushing myself and then probably spend the rest of the day doing a puzzle.
#postConcussionSyndrome

Good morning, lovely people! #today starts the final phase of our huge landscaping project that started back in January. I am looking forward to finishing but it will be stressful for the pups. I have a list of stuff I want to do but yesterday was a bad day for my cognitive functioning because I pushed myself (your girl forgot she had a brain injury) so I'll be happy if I start a puzzle and get dinner on the table.

It's that point in a night when I have to decide if I'm going to give up, turn on the lights and do something or just lie here, waiting until the sun comes up.

Almost time for extended family dinner. I can't even remember the last time I saw them. I think it's been since Christmas. I feel better knowing that the #postConcussionSyndrome gives me e an easy out when I am ready to come home.

New puzzle day! This is Always from www.sunsout.com, art by Nene Thomas.
#puzzles #postConcussionSyndrome

#today we opened and completed this puzzle. It's 500 pieces, so I thought it would be a little easier for me. This one has letters on the backs to give you some clues. That made it super easy for my partner and I to do it.
#puzzles #postConcussionSyndrome

This is Happy Camper from Ceaco puzzles. Because it's a 300 piece, I thought it was going to be too hard but these pieces are unique and add an element of difficulty that I appreciate. This one was perfect for doing solo at my current brain state.I don't like the artwork as much as other but the actual "game play", for lack of a better term was enough for me to buy their other designs. #puzzle #puzzles #postConcussionSyndrome

Oh, hey, look! It's #PEM to kick me in the ass for yesterday's meltdown, even though I took an easy day. Follow along for a 3-day-long descent into insomnia-induced madness.
#postConcussionSyndrome

Well, that explains my meltdown yesterday. It was just one decision too many.

Have just come to the conclusion that I can't draft/alter without mistakes. I think I need to simplify my sewing plans.
#sewing #postConcussionSyndrome

Good morning, lovely people! Yesterday was a good day. Miss Roxy got her bandage off and new puzzles arrived. I want to spend some time in my sewing room today. It finally dawned on me that I don't hate my old work graphic tees. I hate a crew neck needed for work. Gonna try changing those and then the press to make new clothes NOW should let up.
#puzzle #postConcussionsyndrome

Good morning, lovely people! It's amazing how the brain works. I've had 2 days when I woke up headache free. I am also coming to understand that almost all of my health issues of the last few months were from that fall. I have a STRONG family history of Alzheimer's, so I was over here thinking that my Alzheimer's story was starting early or OMG, I am so old that a fall takes me out. No, dork, not just a fall, a fall when your head bounced off the street.

I was never a puzzle person before, they are on the suggested list of activities. Despite being only 300 pieces, this is quite difficult for me, even with help #postconcussionsyndrome

Good morning, lovely people! Setting up alarms and notifications to limit all the taxing activities has me thinking I can actually do stuff instead of being overwhelmed by trying to figure out daily life. It turns out the a Creepshow episode is perfect timing for sewing stuff. I was able to trace off a pattern and do minor alterations in that timeframe. Fitting these shorts is my goal for the weekend.
#sewing #postConcussionSyndrome

When you have been ignoring your body because of some idea of "productive" then a medical professional gives you an imperative to listen to your body, it starts yelling at you. (the headaches that should be telling me to slow down have been constant since my fall)
#postConcussionSyndrome #brainInjury

This whole "15 minute time limit" on anything that uses my brain is rough but if I don't rest my brain, this all could become permanent. I had no idea who serious a concussion is.
