[QUOTE="catamountsierra, post: 1272933, member: 79865"] Physically, I am probably fine to get out and start doing things, but I am still trying to recover my confidence in some ways. I still have moments where it seems there is a lag between me taking a step and it registering in my brain, or where it seems like my feet slightly miss where I meant to put them. I noticed while out with my dad that I was paying a lot more attention to where I was putting my feet than what was around me, especially compared to how I normally am when hiking. I am back to my normal flexibility and strength, but as is often the case with a concussion, I still tire faster than normal even physically. I also no longer enjoy driving, which takes some of the fun out of going out somewhere. Like I said, the biggest things at this point seems to be the incessant headache, the blurry vision, and the mental problems with memory, processing speed, and overstimulation caused by my kids being normal kids. I still haven't had a single waking moment without pain where the airbag hit me, even on the prescription strength Aleve that they put me on. Hopefully my glasses will come in sooner rather than later (there is a slight chance they could be in tomorrow) and that should fix the blurry vision and hopefully help with the headache as well since we think some of that is due to eyestrain. Things are getting better slowly, but this whole mess has been a real pain for me (literally and figuratively) and my whole family. I have trouble pulling my weight as a parent, and have missed out on a number of things my family has had to do without me. I have trouble watching a movie on our TV, so I have skipped going with the family to movies on a couple occasions. What really sucks is that we had planned to take the kids to Universal Studios this spring and because of my injuries we are having to postpone that trip. The kids sort of understand, but not really. Seeing how this affects my whole family is just as bad as how it affects me. I do want to thank people for the support that I have received here. It does help knowing that other people are pulling for me. [/QUOTE]
