I took your words and pasted them into a document to look at anytime I feel down. Today I'm particularly having a rough day, so it really helped me to read those words. Thank You

Nova, your words are inspirational. I remember you reached out to me when I came on BB at around the 8 month mark bemoaning the lack of a window, you received your first I believe at around that time. You have been on a long journey and it sounds like that journey is about to reach a satisfactory conclusion in the not too distant future. Well at least I hope that is the case. Thank you for your kind and supportive words. You have an admirer!  pris

Hi Pris ... yes, I remember that time quite a while ago ...

 

And that post-acute window that lasted eight or so days ... I often wonder why that occurred, and the "holiday" of three months or so between the end of my taper and the beginning of what I experienced as an acute phase ... also, the window of several days I experienced about a year after the first one ...

 

All three of these experiences were curious ... their main characteristic was a sense of "clear as a bell" ... a sense of utterly and completely "normal" ... or at least normal as exists in my memory ...

 

Being the "yarn spinner" that I am I created a "story" around these events ... these were each periods of respite after an intense period of recovery/healing ... my body taking a rest, and a period for my body to "plan" what needed to be done in the next phase ...

 

Accurate or not, it is a comforting story to remember as I move through this process ...

 

Be Well, my friend ...
