Last Part and Beyond

So this Friday I saw my neurologist and he said everything is fine. I may eventually need another surgery to put in a bypass, but not yet. They will do another angiogram in the next 2 weeks as a marker of where I am now, then I only need to see him once a year. It's over. He said that one of the aneurysm he clipped was on the brink of rupturing. I feel so lucky, I could have been dead last month, but instead, I am alive and ready to get back to living. When I asked if there were any restrictions he said, None, no limitations, I could do anything, lift weight, run, sit in the sauna, drink a bottle of wine. It made me so happy to hear. Except no headstands, but that's cool.

I have some side effects, my head itches, but when I try to scratch it, it's numb on the skin. I feel like the room is always bobbing, like I have been on a boat, my sense of smell isn't working just right, short term memory can sometimes be an issue and last of all, I have a hard time with my eyes when going from tiny up close print to looking long distance. All of these are minor and will clear up in 6 months.
