I’ve never had this much of an issue bouncing back from a medical problem, even from other major surgeries.
I am sadly, so sadly, having to acknowledge my
limitations, cognitive as well as physical.
You know what? Getting old is really detrimental to maintaining
a lifestyle.
So the inventory of what I am unable to do
Get out of bed without exaggerated slow movements and
under my breath grumbling.
Pretend to make progress towards a healthy lifestyle.
Dredge up a name or word in conversation.
Return to a normal breathing pattern after going up the
stairs. (I definitely need to get back in to the pulmonologist.)
Sleep for more than 2 hours in a row.
Make small talk and feign interest in things I think are
boring.
Read text that is too close or too far away from my eyes,
leaving a ¼ inch wiggle room to make out buttons on my cell phone.
Recall college calculus, organic chem or most of anatomy. We’ll recall enough to help my 13 year old
with school work Anyway.
Understand and formulate a plan of action based on
federal regulations for the Affordable Health Care act. (Actually I don’t feel
that bad because. No one really knows what is going on.
Focus on a task. As illustrated by the ten hour space of time where nothing got done
And, if this isn’t bad enough, I have a few more decades to
look forward to with complete meltdown! How great is that going to be!?!
