Yesterday I was quite surprised to get put off work for three months. Wait - I should start with the good news - my angio was normal. Repeat in six months. I'm relieved to hear that news. What I did not see coming at all was the three months off. It's basically a forced rest, precautionary, to allow my brain more time to heal.
No work. No frisbee. Nothing taxing. "Light" workouts.
I'm sure there are lots of people out there who would absolutely dig this situation. At least minus the brain stuff. I've just never been one to sit still. I want to live life to it's fullest. I want to do something worthwhile every day. So....now what?
Clearly it's important that I rest my brain. Work continues to be difficult, and I had a major brain meltdown in Ottawa this weekend. In the long run, this w.i.l.l. be a good thing.
Even though I know that's true, I'm still bummed about it. I've made such progress in the last few months. Suddenly I feel like it's all been negated.
I'll get there - I'll make this fun...somehow.

Hey Heather,
Sorry to hear about the forced "rest". Do you feel it is the best thing for you? You have to do what you think is best. That said, I bet you could find things that would make your days worthwhile, while not being confined to an office for the nicest months of the year :)
Well, since you have the time, you might enjoy some books I've just discovered: the "44 Scotland Street" seriese by Alexander McCall Smith. I am in love with each and every character. It takes place in Edinburgh and I know you've been to Scotland so I think you might enjoy them too.
Good luck with the time off! Thinking about you.
Bridget
