Looking back at my rehab, I can't
help thinking how little I knew what to expect, & how much I've learned...
which makes me wonder what lies ahead... I have so much more in my "tool
kit" than I did even 2 yrs ago...
I also can't help thinking that as
much as has been learned - not just by me, but the people I'm fortunate enough
to work with - there's still so much to discover.
I know that everyone who's part of
my medical team works hard to keep up with neurological research, & that
can directly benefit me - I've been told "when I read/watched, etc. this
thing, I thought of you..." - that's cool - their dedication means a lot
to me.
I still get caught up in very
unhelpful automatic thoughts, but more often I'm able to recognize this, and
gain clarity. That's progress.
I'm looking forward - yes, actually looking forward - later this
week, to getting my reading/near glasses with the prisms as part of the new prescription. Progress again.
Life doesn't always go as planned,
& it's how I/you respond that matters... as I start to believe in myself
more, have more confidence, I'm thinking less about what happened, & more
about simply trying to move forward... Progress.
The only thing I know for SURE -
& yes, I've said this before, but it's a simple truth that's worth
repeating - is right now.... I'm trying really hard to be in the moment, especially
if it's a good one. A step toward progress...
