[QUOTE="catamountsierra, post: 1272533, member: 79865"] I don't think the winter is bugging me much, but I don't usually have a lot of energy anymore. The cold doesn't seem to make a difference, and all the shoveling I have been doing seems like good exercise. I have been out rabbit hunting once with my dad and my kids, which was fun but took a lot out of me. My dad and I took a kid he knows out coyote and rabbit hunting for his first time (having him shoot his first rabbit, and I believe first game, with my 22 was a real nice feeling), but again, that was enough to completely exhaust me. I am still real careful about my footing, though I feel a bit steadier than I did. I haven't had the energy or the motivation to go out on my own yet. I still have the incessant headache, and it is still worsened by my kids just being normal kids. I am still having memory issues, mostly with auditory encoding (if there is a distraction while someone is talking to me, I often have no clue what they said) and processing speed. Being a geologist specializing in sediment issues, I spend a lot of time analyzing data, and now it takes me a lot longer. One of the therapists gave me a bunch of card games that focus on both the memory and processing speed issues, so doing that is helping, but it is slow. They tell me that I am now in the window where I will need to work at it to continue recovering. I also still have the blurry vision, though hopefully I should have glasses in the next week to fix that; worker's comp is taking their sweet time and doesn't have a good track record of approving glasses so when my vision insurance kicked in I dropped my own money for them. It has been just about 4 months since the accident, and they are telling me that I may still be in this for another 6 or so. Sometimes it is real hard to keep from getting depressed over it. At the same time, whenever I think about it, any other reaction I could have had when the accident happened would have left me far worse off. Also, the people on this forum have been great and have helped me through this quite a bit, so thanks to all for the good wishes and advice. [/QUOTE]
