Yesterday I attended PT and the therapist informed me that my balance and vision are doing a lot better. I'm also able to ride the bike at the gym for 30 minutes. It feels good to be able to workout for 30 minutes now. I'm still in swallowing and Cognitive therapy with the Speech Therapist. This is slowly coming along. The cognitive exercises are challenging. We are working on my deductive reasoning and higher level of problem solving skills. I now have a deeper appreciation for my brain since this happened. The brain hemorrhage has and continues to change me. I know that I'm not the same person that I was on August 31st. I continue to discover strengths that I did not even realize were inside of me. However, it was difficult to admit that it is challenging for me to remember certain activities or even events at times. I also in the middle of a conversation will sometimes forget the topic that is currently being discussed. I have discovered that I need to write certain information down and take a few notes occasionally during conversations. However, this will improve over time.
