Mum's energy level has improved but the vertigo is still an issue. I suspect some of it has to with orthostatic bp issues and some is hereditary. As for me, well, the migraines continue. Some days worse than others but I at least remain functional enough to care for Mum though some of the cookies we'd hoped to bake didn't get done. We do have some we can share with friends and neighbors and I was able to make peanut brittle and fudge to share as well. Not bad, just not as exhuberantly festive as hoped.

Blessed Yuletide y'all.

  Merry Christmas, bro and Mum.

Hello, all. The house is so quiet after the weekend.

Hey, Tink.  Cookie's great. She's downstairs with my son and DIL. They both have cold/flu, so they are staying away from me. Hope all is well with you. Santa's almost here.

Ugh hope they get well soon and you stay safe  I'm doing good, enjoying the break from school while working to prep for the upcoming period while eating my weight in cookies

You deserve a well-earned break.  You've been working hard this whole time, sis.

I say let's focus on the positive. Recovery is a slow process. Taking one day at a time is what Dr. Nick recommends. Look after yourself as well.

I tease Clo, but I know she works hard, and worked very hard to get where she is.

Thanks Spikey  I'm doing all my prep now so then I can rest my brain. Otherwise all I'll do is think about it and not enjoy the holidays
