Yesterday and Today

Yesterday was a very good day. Peggy slept late and when she woke up she was more alert and involved than she has been since the accident. It was the first good night's sleep and multiple hours of rest that she has had. Elijah was away on a playdate so it was pretty quiet all day. We talked about how she was feeling and if she was still in dreamland. She said it's like a puzzle. All of the pieces are floating around in front of her and she knows they are there but she's having a little trouble getting them in the right order. I thought that was a great description of what's going on. We went for a short walk around the block last evening and she did great. I made her hold on to me because of the balance issues and she said, "I feel like a little old woman." I told her no one would know who was holding on to whom and one look at me and they would be sure it was her holding me up. She was a little dizzy before the walk and a little more so afterwards. I think the inner ear thing is just going to take some time to get back to normal. Her headache was just low level for most of the day and there were even periods when she had no headache. These are all very good signs. We even played a few games of rummy and she beat the socks off me. Today is starting out slowly and with E gone it will probably continue that way. We may try for a trip to the nail salon to get toenails done! She really wants to and I told her if she slept in again and had enough energy this afternoon that we might try it. Have a wonderful day.
