It's been a month since I was hospitlized. I'm finally starting to feel like myself again. I have two more weeks of taking two medications and then I only have to take one--yay!! Still no driving--until at least October 16th, when my next appointment with my neurologist is. Today I worked out for the first time since. Wow--taking some time off is rough!! I need to get back in shape..it'll make me feel better. And healthier too.
I am starting to look at life in a new way. Since the incident I have come to realize how short life is and you never know what tomorrow will hold. I am fortunate that I have so many people around me that care about me. Throughout my whole ordeal those that truly care have been there for me. My mom has gone above and beyond from driving me around (constantly), cooking food, and just checking up on me. Katy and Eric have been there to drive me if needed. My dad is always there for me when I need to talk. Jenny always calls to check up on me. Brian puts up with my crankiness, tears, tiredness, you name it. He is my rock and I would be lost without him. Oh yeah, did I mention he saved my life? Beth is always there for me when I need a friend. I don't know what I would do without my family and friends.
I have also realized that I need to do what is best for me and not worry what others think. The main thing I HAVE to focus on right now is cutting down my stress. (yes mom, you are right!) But, I sometimes feel that everything is working against me and I have to sit and get crapped on while I watch good things happen to everyone around me. There are certain things I need to do in my life that hopefully will happen soon. Although there are many things I can't change, there are some things I can. I'm hoping by the end of the year things will get better.
So, please bear with me as I adjust to my new life. I know my turn is coming. I just wish it was now.

You are so brave and strong Amy. Sometimes we just don't know what we are made of until challenges are put in our path. I do believe the good Lord gave us mountains so we could learn how to climb! It may not seem like it now, but you are growing and learning and gaining strength and wisdom and perspective from this experience that you didn't have--couldn't have had without it. You are amazing and inspiring and I love you!
