Tylenol 3 and Me

Well it’s been exactly 1 month since the seemingly minor car accident that was destined to change my life.

You see, my whiplash has gotten much better. I can turn my head almost as far as I could before the accident, and the pain is much improved.

The post concussion syndrome, on the other hand, has gotten much worse. The foggy-headedness, the poor short term memory, the feeling of being generally impaired mentally, and worst of all, the worst-hangover-of-your-life typed headache have all become severe and constant.

The doctor has prescribed ‘brain rest’. For the majority of every day, I have to sit (or lie down) in a quiet, dark room (or, ostensibly, outside on a cloudy day) and do absolutely nothing. No reading, writing, tv, radio, music, talking to myself, computer, texting. Nothing.

If you are thinking, “Hey, brain rest sounds just like solitary confinement for especially bad prisoners”, you are right.

I’m taking Tylenol 3 and serious muscle relaxants for the pain. it’s pretty intense.

In the meantime, I will be unable to write on my blog very much until further notice. Stay classy, internet.

    So sorry to hear about your injuries from the accident, Kathryn. It’s so unfair to have happened to you, such a good person. I wish I could do more to make you feel better. And I will send good vibes every day that your post concussion syndrome will get better. But even if it doesn’t, you are as dear to me as ever. Thinking about you much. Hope you get some insights about the Nothing to share to the world, considering that you are the Pre-eminent Master of Ultimate Life Success :) You are cared about, Kathryn!!! Don’t forget that!
    ps. and I’ll give you a break on not having many blog posts in the next few weeks :) Thanks for letting your loving readers know how you are doing. :)
