back to normal, near enough

Aaaaahhh... home again :-) So nice :-) 

Sunday is orienteering... Deb will not allow me to even walk a short course with her. We really need to ask the surgeon how delicate my brain really is.

So I walk about 100m. Sit, it's a pleasantly warm day. Socialise. (Orienteers really are nice people.) I Enjoy myself immensely.

And have been exhausted ever since!

Post-surgery is minimal. One pill twice daily. 

The pill is said to prevent fits It may also prevent elephants. I have had no fits and seen no elephants, double success.

The pill may also make me drowsy... Oh yes, it certainly does that.

Apart from that: The surgery involved two holes drilled in the skull to allow fluid (blood and normal brain fluid) to drain. Very minor compared to previous surgery.

So minor that I can now turn, bend, whatever without getting dizzy. A distinct benefit of *not* having the surgeon stick his finger in my brain and twirl it round :-)

I'm still tired. Somewhat weak (a result of doing a lot of what I do best: nothing :-)

Sunday -- Fathers Day -- I play "school" with our grandson. I'm not sure of the rules, the boy is happy to tell me. I must admit -- it's the highlight of my week :-)

Two bandages come off the top of my head. What I thought were two small holes in the skull have left 5cm scars. So it's back to wearing a hat rather than scaring small children :-) And to avoid scaring me -- I avoid looking in mirrors.

So life is back to normal... near-normal. Just a lot slower :-)

But cheerful. At least for a couple of weeks. Then I'll be scanned. To see if the brain is leaking again. Till then: all good :-)
