8 week update

It has now been 8 weeks since Heather's surgery. Things have been pretty stagnant during this time, hence the lack of updates. Below you will find a list of the obstacles that face us daily in this recovery process.

1) Heather is still unable to walk due to her left leg being numb, weak and unable to move on its own. Because of this, she uses a wheelchair to get around the house.
2) She is not allowed to be left alone for long periods as she is still considered a "fall risk".
3) Heather is also faced with the reality of the injury that her brain has sustained. This includes (but is NOT limited to): forgetting what she was doing, inability to concentrate/focus, using the wrong words in sentences and leaving tasks unfinished.
4) Heather has been suffering from a migraine for over 4 weeks now, with no medication working to reduce the pain.

Basically, things have not changed within the last 8 weeks. We are still faced daily with the "tasks of daily living". Heather needs to be supervised during most tasks in order to maintain her safety. This process is a long, arduous task that will not be completed within a few weeks (as we have learned). We will continue to update, so please check back on Heather's progress.
