I am doing okay. It’s surprising how much easier emergencies are when your habenula isn’t on fire and your astrocytes are functioning. I haven’t collapsed onto the ground yet...
I am cleaning my teeth and taking showers. I am feeding the dog and taking him on walks. I am taking out the trash. I’m not spiralling. It’s astonishing.
My husband was very OCD and took care of everything. I will be fine financially. But I really don’t know how to run my household or business anymore.
My real problem now is I’m not familiar with our business apps. I don’t know how to do online banking transactions. I haven’t been allowed to for over a decade. He took care of all of that since we moved to Tucson. I saved my brain cells for researching how to get well. He was going to train me this summer since I felt ready. He collapsed and died before it happened.
This will be a real test of my cognitive recovery.
So far, so good.
